Question:

Construction zones Every road has one at some point—construction zones that have much lower speed limits. To see if drivers obey these lower speed limits, a police officer uses a radar gun to measure the speed (in miles per hours, or mph) of a random sample of 10 drivers in a 25 mph construction zone. Here are the data:

27 33 32 21 30 30 29 25 27 34

(a) Is there convincing evidence that the average speed of drivers in this construction zone is greater than the posted speed limit?

(b) Given your conclusion in part (a), which kind of mistake—a Type I error or a Type II error—could you have made? Explain what this mistake would mean in context.
