Math Problem Statement
A researcher studying stress is interested in the blood pressure measurements of chief executive officers (CEOs) of major corporations. He has good reason to believe that the mean systolic blood pressure, , of CEOs of major corporations is more than 136 mm Hg, which is the value reported in a possibly outdated journal article. He plans to perform a statistical test. He measures the systolic blood pressures of a random sample of CEOs of major corporations and finds the mean of the sample to be 146 mm Hg and the standard deviation of the sample to be 20 mm Hg. (b)Suppose that the researcher decides not to reject the null hypothesis. What sort of error might he be making? (c)Suppose the true mean systolic blood pressure of CEOs of major corporations is mm Hg. Fill in the blanks to describe a Type I error. A Type I error would be rejecting/failing to reject the hypothesis that u is
