Made a Type II error
Made a correct decision
Increased the power of the test

Question 11
1.
The average customer waiting time at a fast food restaurant has been 7.5 minutes. The customer waiting time has a normal distribution. The manager claims that the use of a new system will decrease average customer waiting time in the store. What is the null and alternative hypothesis for this scenario?
Answer
H0: µ = 7.5 and HA ≠ 7.5
H0: µ ≤ 7.5 and HA> 7.5
H0:µ ≥ 7.5 and HA < 7.5

Question 18
1.
In order to test the effectiveness of a drug called XZR designed to reduce cholesterol levels, 9 heart patients' cholesterol levels are measured before they are given the drug. The same 9 patients use XZR for two continuous months. After two months of continuous use the 9 patients' cholesterol levels are measured again. The comparison of cholesterol levels before vs. after administering the drug is an example of testing the difference between:

Two population means from independent populations.
Two sample means from independent populations.
Matched pairs from two dependent populations.

Question 19
1.
Which statement is incorrect?
Answer
The null hypothesis contains the equality sign.
When a false null hypothesis is not rejected, a Type II error has occurred.
If the null hypothesis is rejected, it is concluded that the alternative hypothesis is true.
If we fail to reject the null hypothesis, then it is proven that null hypothesis is true.
