Wind speeds must average more than 10 miles per hour (mph) for a site to be acceptable. Recently, the organization conducted wind speed tests at a particular site. Based on a sample of n=100n = 100 wind speed recordings (taken at random intervals) , the wind speed at the site averaged xˉ=9mph\bar { x } = 9 \mathrm { mph } , with a standard deviation of s=3.0mphs = 3.0 \mathrm { mph } . To determine whether the site meets the organization's requirements, consider the test, H0:μ=10H _ { 0 } : \mu = 10 vs. Ha:μ>10H _ { \mathrm { a } } : \mu > 10 , where μ\mu is the true mean wind speed at the site and α=.05\alpha = .05 . Fill in the blanks. "A Type I error in the context of this problem is to conclude that the true mean wind speed at the site 10mph10 \mathrm { mph } when it actually 10mph."10 \mathrm { mph } . "
