When a production line is properly adjusted, it is found that 4% of the mechanical components produced are defective. Occasionally settings go out of adjustment, and more defectives are produced. A sample of 12 components is examined and the number of defectives is counted. An adjustments have gone badly wrong so that 7.5% of the components are defective. Now what is the probability of a Type II error?
