Extracted text: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that safe drinking water should contain at most 1.3 mg/liter of copper, on average. A water supply company is testing water from a new source and collects water in small bottles at each of 30 randomly selected locations. The company performs a test at the a = 0.05 level of Но : и 3D 1.3 На : и > 1.3 a where u is the true mean copper content of the water from the new source. Which type of error is more serious in this case? Justify your answer. O A Type II error would be worse because the water would not be safe for drinking, but it would seem that it is safe. A Type I error would be more serious because this would mean that some of the water has low levels of copper and some has high levels of copper. O A Type I error would be more serious because this would mean that some good water is thrown out with the bad water. A Type II error would be more serious because this would mean that the water with more copper would be discovered
