Question
0. Suppose that we know the standard deviation of a population is σ = 10, and we’re testing the following hypothesis using a sample size of 100: H0 : µ = 25 H1 : µ ̸= 25 If the actual population mean was µ = 26 what is the probability that we make a Type II error at a level of significance of α = 0.1?

the critical value is \pm 1.645
type II error means, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and the null hypothesis is false
do not reject the null hypothesis if
-1.645 < Z < 1.645
-1.645 < \frac{\bar{x}-25}{10/\sqrt{100}} < 1.645
23.355 < \bar{x} < 26.645
the probability that we make type II error is
P(23.355 <\bar{x} < 26.645 | \mu =26)
=P(Z < \frac{26.645-26}{10/\sqrt{10}})-P(Z < \frac{23.355-26}{10/\sqrt{10}})
=P(Z < 0.645)-P(Z < -2.645)
=0.7405-0.0041
=0.7364
