Question 21

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. 

If the null and alternative hypotheses can be used to conclude that the machine is adjusted properly, at 15% level of significance, do you reject or fail reject H0?

   

Reject H0 because Z-statistic is greater than z-critical

   

Reject H0 because Z-critical is more than 1.435

   

Reject H0 because Z-critical is less than -1.435 

   

Reject H0 because Z-critical lies between 1.435 and -1.435
