## Effectiveness of Paint Reflector for Road Lines

The paint used to make lines on roads must reflect enough light to be clearly visible at night. Let \(\mu\) denote the true average reflectometer reading for a new type of paint under consideration. A test of \(H_0: \mu = 20\) versus \(H_1: \mu > 20\) will be based on a random sample of size \(n\) from a normal population distribution. What conclusion is appropriate in each of the following situations? (Round your P-values to three decimal places.)

### Experiment Details:

1. **Sample Size (n)**
2. **Sample Mean (\(\bar{x}\))**
3. **Alpha (α) Level**
4. **P-value**

### Cases:

#### (a) 
- **n = 11, \(\bar{x} = 3.1\), \(\alpha = 0.05\)**
- P-value = ___________

#### Steps:
1. **State the conclusion in the problem context:**
    - Reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the new paint has a reflectometer reading higher than 20.
    - Do not reject the null hypothesis. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the new paint has a reflectometer reading higher than 20.

#### (b) 
- **n = 9, \(\bar{x} = 1.6\), \(\alpha = 0.01\)**
- P-value = ___________

#### Steps:
1. **State the conclusion in the problem context:**
    - Do not reject the null hypothesis. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the new paint has a reflectometer reading higher than 20.
    - Reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the new paint has a reflectometer reading higher than 20.

#### (c) 
- **n = 30, \(\bar{x} = -0.4\)**
- P-value = ___________

#### Steps:
1. **State the conclusion in the problem context:**
    - Do not reject the null hypothesis. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the new paint has a reflectometer reading higher than 20.
    - Reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the new paint has a reflectometer reading higher than 20.
