The average wait time on the phone for taxpayers calling the IRS in 2015 was 1,380 seconds. Suppose (if you can use your imagination) that the IRS made operational changes in an effort to reduce wait times. To test the effectiveness of these changes, a random sample of 50 phone calls was selected and the wait time of each call was recorded. Assume the standard deviation for the wait time is 250 seconds.

b. Using a = 0.02, calculate the probability of a Type II error occurring if the actual average wait time per call is 1,296 seconds.

c. Using a = 0.02, calculate the probability of a Type II error occurring if the actual average wait time per call is 1,230 seconds.

d. Explain the differences in the results you calculated in parts b and c.
