A sample size of 100 car owners in Los Angeles was used to determine if the cost of owning a car was more than 10% less than in Detroit. A hypothesis test with a significance level of 0.01 and a standard deviation of $750 is used. Determine the probability that the test will conclude that the cost of owning a car in Los Angeles is not more than 10% less than in Detroit when in fact the average cost is $10,361.
