question 56

Multiple Choice

A major airline is concerned that the waiting time for customers at its ticket counter may be exceeding its target average of 190 seconds.

The mean time for this sample was 202 seconds with a standard deviation of 28 seconds. Given this information and the desire to conduct the test using an alpha level of 0.02, which of the following statements is true?

• A) The chance of a Type II error is 1 - 0.02 = 0.98.
• B) The test to be conducted will be structured as a two-tailed test.
• C) The test statistic will be approximately t = 4.286, so the null hypothesis should be rejected.
