True/False

SCENARIO 9-3
An appliance manufacturer claims to have developed a compact microwave oven that consumes a
mean of no more than 250 W.From previous studies, it is believed that power consumption for
microwave ovens is normally distributed with a population standard deviation of 15 W.A consumer
group has decided to try to discover if the claim appears true.They take a sample of 20 microwave
ovens and find that they consume a mean of 257.3 W.
-True or False: Referring to Scenario 9-3, the consumer group can conclude that there is enough
evidence that the manufacturer's claim is not true when allowing for a 5% probability of
committing a Type I error.
