Environment Canada conducted a study to determine the hydrocarbon emissions at idling speed, in parts per million (ppm), for automobiles. The emissions measurement was assumed to be normally distributed with a standard deviation of 10 ppm. Using a random sample of n = 25 cars of each year model, an environmental engineer is interested in testing the null hypothesis H₁ : µ = 170, against the alternative hypothesis that Haμ> 170. If the engineer decides to reject the null hypothesis if the sample mean is 172 or greater, that is, if X > 172, what is the probability that the engineer commits a Type I error?
