For the given scenario, determine the type of error that was made, if any. (Hint: Begin by determining the null and alternative hypotheses.)
A cell phone company claims only $50 as the mean amount its customers spend on cell phone service per month. One passionate salesperson claims that the mean amount its customers spend on cell phone service per month is less than $50. The passionate salesperson conducts a hypothesis test and fails to reject the null hypothesis. Assume that in reality, the mean amount its customers spend on cell phone service per month is $50. Was an error made? If so, what type?
A. Yes; Type I error
B. Yes; Type Il error
C. No; correct decision
