3 The random variable \(X\) has the distribution \(\mathrm { N } \left( \mu , 5 ^ { 2 } \right)\). A hypothesis test is carried out of \(\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : \mu = 20.0\) against \(\mathrm { H } _ { 1 } : \mu < 20.0\), at the \(1 \%\) level of significance, based on the mean of a sample of size 16. Given that in fact \(\mu = 15.0\), find the probability that the test results in a Type II error.

The random variable \(R\) has the distribution Po\((\lambda)\). A significance test is carried out at the 1% level of the null hypothesis H\(_0\): \(\lambda = 11\) against H\(_1\): \(\lambda > 11\), based on a single observation of \(R\). Given that in fact the value of \(\lambda\) is 14, find the probability that the result of the test is incorrect, and give the technical name for such an incorrect outcome. You should show the values of any relevant probabilities. [6]
