Question

A productionn line operattes with a mean fillling weight of 16 oz per conntainer. Over-filling or under-filling presents a serious problem and reqquires the operator to shut down the production line to readjust the filling mechanism. A quality control inspector selects a sample of 30 itemms every hour and makes the deccision of whether to shutt down the line for readjjustment at that time. Supppose that the most recent sample returns a mean of 15.82 oz and a sample standard deviation of 0.8 oz. Assume the significance level (α) is 5%.

A.Formulate the null and the alternative hypotheses:

Null: mu ≥ 16; Alternative: mu < 16

Null: mu = 16; Alternative: mu ≠ 16

Null: mu ≤ 15.82; Alternative: mu > 15.82

Null: mu ≤ 16; Alternative: mu > 16

Null: mu = 15.82; Alternative: mu ≠ 15.82

Null: mu ≥ 15.82; Alternative: mu < 15.82

B. What kind of test is this? (Upper-tailed, lower-tailed or two-tailed test)

Two-tailed

Lower-tailed

Upper-tailed

No answer text provided.

C. Find the test statistic. Is this a z-score or a t-score?

t-score = -0.225 because population std is not given, and the sample std is given to be $0.8

z-score = -1.23 because population std is given to be $0.8

t-score = -1.23 because population std is not given, and the sample std is given to be $0.8

z-score = -0.225 because population std is given to be $0.8

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
