The error of failing to reject the hypothesis that the mean is 30 miles per gallon when it is actually greater than 30 miles per gallon. b. The error of rejecting the hypothesis that the mean is more than 30 miles per gallon when it is really more than 30 miles per gallon.
                c. The error of rejecting the hypothesis that the mean is 30 miles per gallon when it really is greater than 30 miles per gallon.
