Suppose that H_o: $\mu$$\le$ 0.01 H_a: $\mu$ 0.01 The value 0.01 is the maximum safe level of some naturally occurring lethal pollutant in drinking water for human consumption.You need to decide if you will use water coming from a specific source for one of the beverages your company produces, based on sample measures of this pollutant taken in random different locations and times at the source of water.In this case you would want to A)maximize the power of the test. B)maximize β. C)minimize $\mu$. D)maximize the significance, α. E)maximize 1 - α.

Maximizing the power of the test ensures that if the pollutant level is indeed above the safe threshold, the test is more likely to correctly reject the null hypothesis (that the water is safe). This minimizes the risk of using unsafe water.
