Solve for subsections:

  • a
  • b
  • c
Authors of a computer algebra system wish to compare the speed of a new computational
algorithm to the currently implemented algorithm. They apply the new algorithm to 50
standard problems; it averages 8.16 seconds with true standard deviation o = = 0.17 second.
The current algorithm averages 8.21 seconds on such problems. Test, at the 1% level of
significance, the alternative hypothesis that the new algorithm has a different average time
than the current algorithm.
(a) What are the null and alternate hypotheses?
(b) What is a?
(c) What is the probability you will make a Type I error in your decision?
(d) Identify your test statistic, and compute its z-score.
(e) Do you reject or fail to reject?
