conclusion: The sample data support the claim that the modified
components have a longer mean time between failures than
unmodified components.
16. Type I Error: Decide that the modified components are improved when in fact they are not. [Decide that the modified
components have a longer mean time between failures than unmodified ones when in fact the mean time between failures
is the same (937 hours).]
Type II Error: Decide that the modified components have not been improved when in fact they are improved. [Decide
that the modified components have the same mean time between failures as unmodified ones (937 hours) when in fact the
mean time between failures is more than 937 hours.]
