If employees are averaging $120 or less per month in tax-deferred investments. A sample of 80 employees will be used to test the hypothesis about the current level of investment activity among the population of employees. Assume the employee monthly investment has a std deviation of $75 and a 0.01 level of significance. what is the probability of the type II error? what is the probability if the monthly investment mean is $140?
true mean , µ = 140
hypothesis mean, µo = 120
significance level, α = 0.01
sample size, n = 80
std dev, σ = 75.0000
δ= µ - µo = 20
std error of mean, σx = σ/√n =
75.0000 / √ 80 =
8.38525
P(type II error) , ß = P(Z < Zα -
δ/σx)
= P(Z < 2.326 - (
20 / 8.3853 ))
=P(Z< -0.059 ) =
