TABLE 9-3 An Appliance Manufacturer Claims to Have Developed a Compact Microwave

Short Answer

TABLE 9-3
An appliance manufacturer claims to have developed a compact microwave oven that consumes an average of no more than 250 W. From previous studies, it is believed that power consumption for microwave ovens is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 15 W. A consumer group has decided to try to discover if the claim appears true. They take a sample of 20 microwave ovens and find that they consume an average of 257.3 W.
-Referring to Table 9-3, what is the probability of making a Type II error if the average power consumption of all such microwave ovens is in fact 257.3 W using a 0.10 level of significance?
