Question

Transcribed Image Text:A sample of 35 observations is selected from a normal population. The sample mean is 53, and the population standard deviation is 5.
Conduct the following test of hypothesis using the 0.01 significance level.
Họ: H = 54
H: µ # 54
a. Is this a one- or two-tailed test?
O One-tailed test
O Two-tailed test
b. What is the decision rule?
O Reject H, if -2.576 < z< 2.576
O Reject H, if z<-2.576 or z> 2.576
c. What is the value of the test statistic? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 2 decimal
places.)

An engineer has designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The valve was tested on 30 engines and the mean pressure was 4.8 psi with a standard deviation of 1 psi. If the valve was designed to produce an overall mean pressure of 5.0 psi, is there sufficient evidence at the 10% level of significance that the valve performs below specifications?
