11. Suppose that a regulatory agency will propose that Congress cut federal funding to a metropolitan area if its mean level of NOx is unsafe - that is, if it exceeds 5.0 ppt. The agency gathers sample NOx concentrations on 60 different days and calculates a test of significance to assess whether the mean level of NOx is greater than 5.0 ppt. Which of the following best describes the implications of a Type 2 error? (3 points)

(a) Providing federal funding when in fact the level of NOx is greater than 5.0 ppt.

(b) Cutting federal funding when in fact the level of NOx is equal to 5.0 ppt or less.

(c) Cutting federal funding when in fact the level of NOx is greater than 5.0 ppt.

(d) Providing federal funding when in fact the level of NOx is equal to 5.0 ppt or less.
