Question #5

Transcribed Image Text:**The Standard Deviation in Pressure Variability: An Educational Guide**
The standard deviation in the pressure required to open a certain valve is known to be σ = 1.1 psi. Due to changes in the manufacturing process, the quality-control manager feels that the pressure variability has increased.
**Tasks:**
(a) State the null and alternative hypotheses in words.
(b) State the null and alternative hypotheses symbolically.
(c) Explain what it would mean to make a Type I error.
(d) Explain what it would mean to make a Type II error.
---
**(a) State the null hypothesis in words. Choose the correct answer below.**
- **A.** The standard deviation in the pressure required to open a certain valve is greater than 1.1 psi.
- **B.** The standard deviation in the pressure required to open a certain valve is different from 1.1 psi.
- **C.** The standard deviation in the pressure required to open any valve is 1.1 psi.
- **D.** The standard deviation in the pressure required to open a certain valve is 1.1 psi.

This educational guide seeks to assist in understanding the process of hypothesis testing related to the variability in pressure required to open valves, a common quality-control task in manufacturing processes.
