Question
Automobile Parts: An important manufacturing process produces
cylindrical component parts for the automotive industry. It is important
that the process produce parts having a mean diameter of 5.0 millimeters.
The engineer involved conjectures that the population mean is 5.0
millimeters. An experiment is conducted in which 100 parts produced by
the process are selected randomly and the diameter measured on each. It
is known that the population standard deviation is σ = 0.1 millimeter. The
experiment indicates a sample average diameter of x = 5.027 millimeters.
Does this sample information appear to support or refute the engineer's
conjecture?
