Given information: Lifetime of squirrels have mean and =7.

Because were given s true value is 45, and were told we are
testing that >40, then our alternative hypothesis is >40 (Because in
type ii problems, the true value must coincide with the alternative
hypothesis, and 45 > 40)
so, HO : = 40.
HA : > 40
We are also given we reject null hypothesis when X > 43.
Recall P(type II error) = P(failing to reject null given alternative is
true).
Were told really equals 45, and this makes our alternative true. So,
we can find the P(type II error) by calculating the Probability of
getting a X < 43 (This is when we fail to reject since we reject when
X>43).
In other words,
P(Type II error) = P(failing to reject given =45) =
PHX < 43 given = 45L.
Since were also given =7 and n=25, we can find
PHX < 43 given = 45, = 7, and n = 25L by standardizing both sides.
So,
PHX < 43L = PK
