Textbook Question

Chapter 10, Problem 26PS

The file Concrete1 contains the compressive strength, in thousands of pounds per square inch (psi), of 40 samples of concrete taken two and seven days after pouring.

a. At the 0.01 level of significance, is there evidence that the mean strength is lower at two days than at seven days?

b. What assumption is necessary in order to perform this test?

c. Find the p-value in (a) and interpret its meaning.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.

The compressive strength, in kilopascals, was measured for concrete blocks from five different batches of concrete, both three and six days after pouring. The data are presented in the following table.

One company's bottles of grapefruit juice are filled by a machine that is set to dispense an average of 180 milliliters (ml) of liquid. A quality-control inspector must check that the machine is working properly. The inspector takes a random sample of 40 bottles and measures the volume of liquid in each bottle. We want to test Hg: μ = 180 Ha: 180 where μ = the true mean volume of liquid dispensed by the machine. The mean amount of liquid in the bottles is 179.6 ml and the standard deviation is 1.3 ml. A significance test yields a P-value of 0.0589. Interpret the P-value. Assuming the true mean volume of liquid dispensed by the machine is 180 ml, there is a 0.0589 probability of getting a sample mean of 179.6 just by chance in a random sample of 40 bottles filled by the machine. Assuming the true mean volume of liquid dispensed by the machine is 180 ml, there is a 0.0589 probability of getting a sample mean at least as far from 180 as 179.6 (in either direction) just by chance in a…
