subject

Erica has a swimming pool at her house. Once a year she purchases a 50-pound bucket of chlorine pellets from an online company. Out of curiosity she weighs the bucket and finds that it only weighs 46.2 pounds. She purchases 4 more 50-pound buckets, giving her an SRS of size 5. The mean weight of the 5 buckets is 48.5 pounds. She suspects that the company is cheating the customers. She uses her data to test the hypotheses H0:
μ
μ = 50 pounds versus Ha:
μ
μ < 50 pounds. The P-value of her test is 0.0851. What decision should she make and what type of error could she make as a result of her decision?
