Question
A quality-assurance inspector periodically examines the output of a machine to determine whether it is properly adjusted. When set properly, the machine produces nails having a mean length of 2.000 inches, with a standard deviation of 0.070 inches. For a sample of 35 nails, the mean length is 2.025 inches. Using the 0.01 level of significance, examine the null hypothesis that the machine is adjusted properly. Determine and interpret the p-value for the test.

Due to a water shortage because of a drought, the city council campaigned for water use conservation by households. A few months after the campaign was started, the mean consumption of water for a sample of 96 households was found to be 1164 cubic feet per month. The population standard deviation is given to be 257 cubic feet. a. Find the p-value for the hypothesis test that the mean consumption of water per household has decreased due to the campaign by the city council. Would you reject the null hypothesis at a = 0.025? Round your answer to four decimal places. p-value = We i b. Make the test of part a using the critical-value approach and a = 0.025. Zobserved Round your answer for z to two decimal places. We Ho. i Ho. We conclude that the mean consumption of water per household has due to the campaign by the city council.arrow_forwardA factory that manufactures screws is performing a quality control experiment.

The mean number of hours was 2.95 with a standard deviation of 2.63. A sociologist claims that people watch a mean of 3 hours of TV per day. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean hours of TV watched per day differs from the claim? Use the a= 0.01 level of significance and the critical value method.

- An engineer designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The engineer designed the valve such that it would produce a mean pressure of 7.8 pounds/square inch. It is believed that the valve performs above the specifications. The valve was tested on 24 engines and the mean pressure was 8.0 pounds/square inch with a standard deviation of 0.7. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Determine the decision rule for rejecting the null hypothesis. Round your answer to three decimal places.arrow_forwardA factory that manufactures bolts is performing a quality control experiment. Each object should have a length of no more than 19 centimeters. The factory believes that the length of the bolts exceeds this value and measures the length of 94 bolts. The sample mean bolt length was 19.06 centimeters. The population standard deviation is known to be o = 0.26 centimeters. What is the test statistic z? Ex: 1.23 What is the p-value?
