Type II error for a lower-tail test at true mean 190

An engineer tests H0:μ=200H_0: \mu = 200 against H1:μ<200H_1: \mu < 200 with a known σ=30\sigma = 30, a sample of n=36n = 36, at the one-sided 5% level. Suppose the true mean is actually μ=190\mu = 190.

Find the Type II error rate β\beta (the probability the test fails to reject even though H0H_0 is false).
