Answer to Question 1

a. H0:   9
Ha:  < 9
b. test statistic t = -2.190 < -1.699; reject H0
c. reject H0; the p-value is between .01 to .025
d. A Type II error has not been committed since H0 was rejected.

Answer to Question 2

a. H0:  15
Ha:  > 15
b. test statistic Z = 1.5 < 1.645; therefore do not reject H0
c. Do not reject H0; p-value is (.5 - .4332) = 0.0668
