The mixture will not be used unless experimental evidence indicates conclusively ti strength specification has been met. Suppose compressive strength for specimens of this mixture is normally distributed with o = 63. Let u denote the true average compressive strength.

In an Omani factory, a machine that produces "W-product" has been set so that the true average diameter of the "W-product" it produces is 0.602 in. If its diameter is within 0.04 in. of this target value, this is acceptable. Suppose, however, that the setting has changed during the course of production, so that the products have normally distributed diameters with mean value 0.601 in. and standard deviation 0.002 in. What percentage of the "W-product" produced will not be acceptable
A mixture of pulverized fuel ash and Portland cement to be used for grouting should have a compressive strength of more than 1,300 KN/m2. The mixture will not be used unless experimental evidence indicates conclusively that the strength specification has been met. Suppose compressive strength for specimens of this mixture is normally distributed with σ = 61. Let μ denote the true average compressive strength. For a test with α = 0.01, what is the probability that the mixture will be judged unsatisfactory when in fact μ = 1,350 (a type II error)? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

An auto manufacturer claims that the variance of the gas mileage in a model of a hybrid vehicle is 0.16. A random sample of 30 vehicles has a variance of 0.26. At alpha = 0.05, is there enough evidence to reject the claim? Assume the population is normally distributed.
An obstetrician read that a newborn baby loses on average 7 ounces in the first two days of their life. He feels that in the hospital where he works, the average weight loss of a newborn baby is less than 7 ounces. A random sample of 33 newborn babies has a mean weight loss of 6.2 ounces. The population standard deviation is 1.5 ounces. Is there enough evidence at (alpha) = 0.01 to support this claim? Assume that the variable is normally distributed. Use the critical value method with tables. A. State the hypotheses and identify the claim with the correct hypothesis. B. Find the critical value(s). C. Compute the test value. D. Make the decision. E. Summarize the results.
A person read that the average number of hours and adult sleeps on Friday night to Saturday morning was 7.3 hours. The researcher feels that college students do not sleep 7.3 hours on average. The researcher randomly selected 17 students and found that on average they slept 8.5 hours. The standard deviation of the sample is 1.4 hours. At (alpha) = 0.01, is there enough evidence to say that college students do not sleep 7.3 hours on average? Assume that the population is approximately normally distributed.
