  2. (2) If you were an employee in the plant, would you want thechoice of alpha to be larger or smaller? Explain.
  3. (5) A random sample of 50 air specimens from various sensors inthe plant produced a mean of 3.1 ppm. Is this sample datasufficient to shut down production? Use alpha = 0.01.
  4. (2) Describe both Type I and Type II errors in the context ofthis problem.
  5. (6) Calculate the probability of Type II error if in fact thetrue mean plant level if 3.1 ppm. Use alpha = 0.01.
