Sample Case Analysis (Case 10.1)
First read the case carefully. In this instance Cregg Hart is interested in knowing if the rivet diameter from a potential new supplier is the same as the diameter from their existing supplier. This lends itself naturally to do a confidence interval or suitable confidence level, say 95% or do a hypothesis test assuming the mean diameters from the two suppliers are the same.
Next open the Excel file which you can download from CANVAS Excel files and into your computer completely free of charge and run with it.
What should result from assignment is as follows:

Specifically they imply that we cannot reject the null hypothesis of equal means. Also notice the p_value of
0.82 which implies that if we rejected the equal means hypothesis, we would be making a type I mistake with a probability of roughly 82%.

Conclusions / recommendations

As the two rivet families have equal mean diameter, statistically speaking, which means that they also have equal strength.
This leads us to recommend that if the new supplier is reliable and less expensive, they should be utilized at least for a part of production process at the Motive Power Company until they are totally proved over time and then can be relied upon for their rivets for larger orders.
