At one school, the average amount of time tenth-graders spend watching television each week is 21.6 hours. The principal introduces a campaign to encourage the students to watch less television. One year later, the principal performs a significance test using α= 0.05 to determine whether the average amount of time spent watching television per week has decreased. The hypotheses are:
H0: µ = 21.6 hours
Ha: µ < 21.6 hours

If the P-value 0.04 and a decision error is made, what type of error is it? Explain.

a) Type II error. We conclude that the average amount of time spent watching television each week is 21.6 hours when it is in fact less.
b) Type I error. We conclude that the average amount of time spent watching television each week is 21.6 hours when it is in fact less.
c) Type II error. We conclude that the average amount of time spent watching television each week is less than 21.6 hours when it is in fact not.
d) Type I error. We conclude that the average amount of time spent watching television each week is less than 21.6 hours when it is in fact not.

If your score on your next statistics test is converted to a z score, which of these z scores would you prefer: minus2.00, minus1.00, 0, 1.00, 2.00? why? a. the z score of 2.00 is most preferable because it is 2.00 standard deviations above the mean and would correspond to the highest of the five different possible test scores. b. the z score of 0 is most preferable because it corresponds to a test score equal to the mean. c. the z score of minus2.00 is most preferable because it is 2.00 standard deviations below the mean and would correspond to the highest of the five different possible test scores. d. the z score of minus1.00 is most preferable because it is 1.00 standard deviation below the mean and would correspond to an above average
