The Toylot company makes an electric train with a motor that it claims will draw an average of only 0.8 ampere (A) under a normal load. A sample of nine motors was tested, and it was found that the mean current was x = 1.38 A, with a sample standard deviation of s = 0.46 A. Do the data indicate that the Toylot claim of 0.8 A is too low? (Use a 1% level of significance.)

it's an emergency :( 

The Toylot company makes an electric train with a motor that it claims will draw an average of only 0.8 ampere (A) under a normal load. A sample of nine motors was tested, and it was found that the mean current was x = 1.38 A, with a sample standard
deviation of s = 0.46 A. Do the data indicate that the Toylot claim of 0.8 A is too low? (Use a 1% level of significance.)

What are we testing in this problem?
O single proportion
O single mean
(a) What is the level of significance?
State the null and alternate hypotheses.

(b) What sampling distribution will you use? What assumptions are you making?
O The standard normal, since we assume that x has a normal distribution with unknown o.
O The Student's t, since we assume that x has a normal distribution with known o.
The standard normal, since we assume that x has a normal distribution with known o.

What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
(c) Find (or estimate) the P-value.
O P-value > 0.250
O 0.125 < P-value < 0.250
O 0.050 < P-value < 0.125

0.005 < P-value < 0.025
O P-value < 0.005
Sketch the sampling distribution and show the area corresponding to the P-value.

(d) Based on your answers in parts (a) to (c), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Are the data statistically significant at level a?
O At the a = 0.01 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.
O At the a = 0.01 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.
At the a = 0.01 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.
O At the a = 0.01 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.
(e) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application.
O There is sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level to conclude that the toy company claim of 0.8 A is too low.
O There is insufficient evidence at the 0.01 level to conclude that the toy company claim of 0.8 A is too low.
