Question

1. Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your final answer to four decimal places.

2. .Find the p-value. Round your final answer to four decimal places. (2 points)

Hint: Draw a picture and then use the pt( ) function in R.

3. Select the correct conclusion for the hypothesis test. (2 points)

     A.Since the p-value = 0.0011 < = 0.05 reject H0, We have sufficient evidence to conclude that true mean tensile strength meets the specifications.

B.Since the p-value = ______ > = 0.05fail to reject H0, We do not have sufficient evidence to conclude that true mean tensile strength meets the specifications.

C.Since the p-value = ______ < = 0.05 fail to reject H0, We do not have sufficient evidence to conclude that true mean tensile strength meets the specifications.

D.Since the p-value = ______ > = 0.05, reject H0, We have sufficient evidence to conclude that true mean tensile strength meets the specifications.

Specifications call for the true mean tensile strength u of paper used in a certain packaging application to be greater than 50 psi. Anew type of paper is being considered for this application. The tensile strength is measured for a simple random sample of 110 specimens of this paper. The mean strength was 51.2 psi and the standard deviation was 4.0 psi. At the 5% significance level, do we have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean tensile strength for the new type of paper meets the specifications? Source: Naidi, M. (2008).

Explanation / Answer

here std error =std deviation/(n)1/2 =0.3814

also test stat t=(X-mean)/std error =3.1464

for above test stat and 109 degree of freedom p value =0.0011

   A.Since the p-value = 0.0011 < = 0.05 reject H0, We have sufficient evidence to conclude that true mean tensile strength meets the specifications.
