Catheters, again The catheter company in Exercise 44 is reviewing its testing procedure.

a) Suppose the significance level is changed to a = 0.01. Will the probability of a Type II error increase, decrease, or remain the same?

b) What is meant by the power of the test the company conducts?

c) Suppose the manufacturing process is slipping out of proper adjustment. As the actual mean diameter of the catheters produced gets farther and farther above the desired 2.00 mm, will the power of the quality control test increase, decrease, or remain the same?

d) What could they do to improve the power of the test?
