Water samples are taken from water used for cooling as it is being discharged from a power plant into a river. It has been determined that as long as the mean temperature of the discharged water isat most 150°F, there will be no negative effects on the river's ecosystem. To investigate whether the plant is in compliance with regulations that prohibit a mean discharge water temperature above150°, 50 water samples will be taken at randomly selected times and the temperature of each sample recorded. The resulting data will be used to test the hypotheses Ho: μ = 150° versusH₂: μ > 150°. In the context of this situation, describe type I error.aA type I error occurs when our estimate for the mean discharge temperature is higher than the actual temperature.A type I error occurs when we say that the plant is not in compliance when in fact it is.A type I error occurs when our estimate for the mean discharge temperature is lower than the actual temperature.A type I error occurs when we don't have enough information to conclude whether or not the plant is in compliance.A type I error occurs when we say that the plant is in compliance when in fact it is not.In the context of this situation, describe type II error.A type II error occurs when we don't have enough information to conclude whether or not the plant is in compliance.A type II error occurs when our estimate for the mean discharge temperature is lower than the actual temperature.A type II error occurs when we conclude that the plant is not in compliance when in fact it is.A type II error occurs when we conclude that the plant is in compliance when in fact it is not.O A type II error occurs when our estimate for the mean discharge temperature is higher than the actual temperature.Which type of error would you consider more serious?
