Question

H_0: sigma a = 0.8 alpha = 0.05 n = 16 H_1: sigma 0.8 s = 0.66 4) Determine the number of samples needed in the following situation: a) Detect a shift from n that is plusminus 1 unit (two-sided test) b) sigma is known to be 1.2 units c) The probability of Type 1 error is 0.05 and the probability of Type II error is 0.10 5) You have conducted a study to determine whether your products are meeting the customer requirements. The customer's design states that parts must have a mean length of 220mm. You've collected 8 samples and the mean length of the samples (f) is 218mm. The value of a for part length is 1.1mm.

Explanation / Answer

a)

Formulating the null and alternative hypotheses,              
              
Ho:   u   =   220  
Ha:    u   =/   220  
              
As we can see, this is a    two   tailed test.      
              
Thus, getting the critical t,              
df = n - 1 =    7          
tcrit =    +/-   2.364624252      
              
Getting the test statistic, as              
              
X = sample mean =    218          
uo = hypothesized mean =    220          
n = sample size =    8          
s = standard deviation =    1.1          
              
Thus, t = (X - uo) * sqrt(n) / s =    -5.142594772          

As |t| > 2.635, we REJECT THE NULL HYPOTHESIS.

There is significant evidence at 0.05 level that the true mean length of the parts is not 220 mm. [CONCLUSION]

b)
              
Also, the p value is, as this is two tailed,              
              
p =    0.001334898   [ANSWER]

*********************************

c)

The probability of making a type I error is alpha, so

P(type I) = alpha = 0.05 [ANSWER]

********************************

d)

A type I error is incorrectly rejecting a true Ho.

Hence, it is incorrectly saying that the true mean length of the parts is not 220 mm, when in fact, it is 220 mm. [ANSWER]
              
Comparing t and tcrit (or, p and significance level), we   REJECT THE NULL HYPOTHESIS.
