Question
Using the Hypothesis Testing Procedures, please complete:
The average production of peanuts in Virginia is 3000 pounds per acre. A new plant food has been developed and is tested on 60 individual plots of land. The mean yield with the new plant food is 3120 pounds of peanuts per acre, the population standard deviation is 578 pounds. At a = 0.05, can you conclude that the average production has increased?

- A manufacturer of bolts has a quality-control policy that requires it to destroy any bolts that are more than 4 stan deviations from the mean. The quality-control engineer knows that the bolts coming off the assembly line have n length of 14 cm with a standard deviation of 0.05 cm. For what lengths will a bolt be destroyed? Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box(es) to complete your choice. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) OA. A bolt will be destroyed if the length is less than OB. A bolt will be destroyed if the length is less than OC. A bolt will be destroyed if the length is greater than OD.
