A new design for the braking system on a certain type of car has been proposed. For the current system, the true average braking distance at 40 mph under specified conditions is known to be 120 ft. It is proposed that the new design be implemented only if sample data strongly indicates a reduction in true average braking distance for the new design.

How would you change the region to obtain a test with α = 0.001? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

(d) What is the probability that the new design is not implemented when its true average braking distance is actually 115 ft and the appropriate region from part (b) is used? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

A manufacturer of nickel-hydrogen batteries randomly selects 100 nickel plates for test cells, cycles them a specified number of times, and determines that 14 of the plates have blistered.
State the rejection region(s). If the critical region is one-sided, enter NONE for the unused region. Round your answers to two decimal places.
