An automobile manufacturer claims that a particular model car averages 24 miles per gallon. A consumer group feels that the company is overestimating the mean miles per gallon and asks the Consumer Protection Agency to investigate. The CPA plans to take a random sample of 30 cars of this model, find the mean miles per gallon for these cars, and conduct a test to determine whether the mean is significantly less than 24 mpg. The hypotheses for the test are: H₀: µ=24 and Ha: µ < 24.State and describe the Type 1 and 2 errors.
