Identify the Type I Error or Type II Error as Indicated

question 33

Multiple Choice

Identify the Type I error or Type II error as indicated.
-In the past, the mean running time for a certain type of flashlight battery has been 8.3 hours. The manufacturer has introduced a change in the production method and wants to perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the
Mean running time has increased as a result. The hypotheses are: $$\begin{array} { l } \mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : \mu = 8.3 \text { hours } \\\mathrm { H } _ { \mathrm { a } } : \mu > 8.3 \text { hours }\end{array}$$
Identify the Type II error.

• A)Fail to reject the claim that the mean running time is 8.3 hours when actually the mean running time is greater than 8.3 hours.
• B)Reject the claim that the mean running time is 8.3 hours when actually the mean running time is greater than 8.3 hours.
• C)Fail to reject the claim that the mean running time is 8.3 hours when actually the mean running time is 8.3 hours.
• D)Reject the claim that the mean running time is 8.3 hours when actually the mean running time is 8.3 hours.
