You suspect that the power plant exceeds the standard. (Data attached below.) What is the null hypothesis? What is the alternative hypothesis? Explain real-world consequences of making a Type 1 error. Explain real-world consequences of making a Type 2 error. Is a hypothesis test for this case left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed? Do the data supply evidence of the power plant exceeding the pollution standard?
