ambar See the difference between Q1, 2 and 3
johntan1979 Type II error... no conclusive evidence.
johntan1979 Also, failing to reject null is not the same as accepting null.
lndcobra In the question H_0 is μ < 931, and they fail to reject it, so C is also incorrect, as it could mean that hospital costs equal to 931 (μ = 931)
wpaxtonn21 @johntan1979 this is not a type II error.
