Question
The calibration of a scale is to be checked by weighing a 15 kg test specimen 25 times. Suppose that the results of different weighings are independent of one another and that the weight on each trial is normally distributed with
o = 0.200 kg. Let u denote the true average weight reading on the scale.
(a) What hypotheses should be tested?
Ο Hg: μ + 15
H: H < 15
Ο H: μ + 15
Hg:H = 15
Ο H9: μ= 15
H,: μ< 15
Ο H: μ= 15
H: H = 15
Ο H: μ= 15
H: H > 15
(b) with the sample mean itself as the test statistic, what is the P-value when x = 14.83? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
0.00002
What would you conclude at significance level 0.01?
O Conclude that the true mean measured weight differs from 15 kg.
