An insurаnce cоmpаny stаtes that their claim оffice is able tо process all death claims for cattle within 5 working days. Recently there have been several complaints that it took longer than 5 days to process a claim. Top management sets up a statistical test with a null hypothesis that the average time for processing a claim is 5 days and an alternative hypothesis that the average time for processing a claim is greater than 5 days.

What type of error occurred in the statistical test?
