Type I error : Reject the null hypothesis , in fact it is true.
Type II error : Do not reject the null hypothesis , in fact it is false.
Claim : µ is different from 7.1
: µ equal to 7.1 vs : µ not equal to 7.1
Type I error :
Type I error is rejecting the hypothesis that µ equal to 7.1, when in fact µ equal to 7.1
Suppose BIG decides not to reject the null hypothesis , it be making type II error.

A coin-operated coffee machine made by BIG Corporation was designed to discharge a mean of 7.2 ounces of coffee per cup. If it dispenses more than that on average, the corporation may lose money, and if it dispenses less, the customers may complain. Believing that the mean amount of coffee dispensed by the machine, H, is less than 7.2 ounces, BIG plans to do a statistical test of the claim that the machine is working as designed. Technicians gather a...
A coin-operated coffee machine made by BIG Corporation was designed to discharge a mean of 6.9 ounces of coffee per cup. If it dispenses more than that on average, the corporation may lose money, and if it dispenses less, the customers may complain. Believing that the mean amount of coffee μ dispensed by the machine is less than 6.9 ounces, BIG plans to do a statistical test of the claim that the machine is working as designed. BIG gathers a...
A coin-operated coffee machine made by BIG Corporation was designed to discharge a mean of eight ounces of coffee per cup. If it dispenses more that that on average, the corporation may lose money, and if it dispenses less, the customers may complain BIG Corporation would like to estimate the mean amount of coffee, H, dispensed per cup by this machine. BIG will choose a random sample of cup amounts dispensed by this machine and use this sample to estimate...
One personality test available on the World Wide Web has a subsection designed to assess the "honesty" of the test-taker. After taking the test and seeing your score for this subsection, you're interested in the mean score, H, among the general population on this subsection. The website reports that his 148, but you believe that ji is greater than 148. You decide to do a statistical test. You choose a random sample of people and have them take the personality...
A researcher studying stress is interested in the blood pressure measurements of chief executive officers (CEOS) of major corporations. He believes that the mean systolic blood pressure, , of CEOs of major corporations is more than 136 mm Hg, which is the value reported in a possibly outdated journal artide. He plans to perform a statistical test. He measures the systolic blood pressures of a random sample of CEOs of major corporations and finds the mean of the sample to...

A scientist has read that the mean birth weight, H, of bables bom at full term is 7.3 pounds. The scientist, belleving that he is different from this value, plans to perform a statistical test. She selects a random sample of birth weights of babies bom at full term and finds the mean of the sample to be 7.6 pounds and the standard deviation to be 1.5 pounds. Based on this information, answer the questions below. What are the nut...
A psychologist is studying the self image of smokers, as measured by the self-image (SI) score from a personality inventory. She would like to examine the mean SI score, u, for the population of all smokers. Previously published studies have indicated that the mean SI score for the population of all smokers is 85 and that the standard deviation is 15, but the psychologist believes that the value for the mean has decreased. She plans to perform a statistical test....
A consumer advocacy group is doing a large study on car rental practices. Among other things, the consumer group would like to do a statistical test regarding the mean monthly mileage, u, of cars rented in the U.S. this year. The consumer group has reason to believe that the mean monthly mileage of cars rented in the U.S. this year is less than last year's mean, which was 2800 miles. The group plans to do a statistical test regarding the...
A coin operated drink machine was designed to discharge a mean of 7 ounces of coffee per cup. In a test of the machine, the discharge amounts in 14 randomly chosen cups of coffee from the machine were recorded. The sample mean and sample standard deviation were 7.02 ounces and 0.24 ounces, respectively. If we assume that the discharge amounts are normally distributed, is there enough evidence, at the 0.05 level of significance, to conclude that the true mean discharge,...
