According to the N.Y. Times Almanac the mean family size in the U.S. is 3.18. A sample of a college math class resulted in the following family sizes:

5;4;5;4;4;3;6;4;3;3;5;5;6;3;3;2;7;4;5;2;2;2;3;2

"Red tide" is a bloom of poison-producing algae-a few different species of a class of plankton called dinoflagellates. When the weather and water conditions cause these blooms, shellfish such as clams living in the area develop dangerous levels of a paralysis-inducing toxin. In Massachusetts, the Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) monitors levels of the toxin in shellfish by regular sampling of shellfish along the coastline. If the mean level of toxin in clams exceeds 800渭驳(micrograms) of toxin per kg of clam meat in any area, clam harvesting is banned there until the bloom is over and levels of toxin in clams subside. Describe both a TypeI and a Type IIerror in this context, and state which error has the greater consequence.

For statements a-j ( Section: 9.109 ), answer the following in complete sentences.

a. State a consequence of committing a Type I error.
