Question:

During 2016, the average monthly bill for digital cable in the United States was $103 according to research firm Centris. Suppose Comcast would like to test the hypothesis that the average monthly bill is higher than $103 this year. A random sample of 52 households was chosen. Assume the standard deviation of monthly cable bills in the country is $21.

a. Explain in your own words how a Type I and Type II error can occur in this hypothesis test.

b. Using α = 0.01, compute the probability of a Type II error occurring if the actual average monthly cable bill is $112.

c. Using α = 0.05, compute the probability of a Type II error occurring if the actual average monthly cable bill is $112.

d. Explain the differences in the results you calculated in parts b and c.
