Rechargeable Batteries A researcher wants to study the average lifetime of a certain brand of rechargeable batteries (in hours).In testing the hypotheses,H0: μ = 950 hours vs.H1: μ ≠ 950 hours,a random sample of 25 rechargeable batteries is drawn from a normal population whose standard deviation is 200 hours. ​ ​ -{Rechargeable Batteries Narrative} Calculate β,the probability of a Type II error when μ = 1000 and α = 0.10.
