Identify the type I error for the given null hypothesis.
The percentage of households with at least two cell phones is less than 60%.

Comment:
That statement cannot be a null hypotheses since it
does not contain equality. Ho must ALWAYS contain equality.

The hypotheses would be the following:
Ho: p >= 0.6
Ha: p < 0.6
------------------
Type I error on this hypothesis would be to reject Ho when
in fact it was true.
