An appliance manufacturer claims to have developed a compact microwave oven that consumes a mean of no more than 250 W. From pre

vious studies, it is believed that power consumption for microwave ovens is normally distributed with a population standard deviation of 15 W. A consumer group has decided to try to discover if the claim appears true. They take a sample of 20 microwave ovens and find that they consume a mean of 257.3 W. 1) The appropriate hypotheses to determine if the manufacturer's claim appears reasonable are H subscript 0 colon________ and H subscript 1 colon________. (2 points) 2) For a test with a level of significance of 0.05, the critical value would be ________. (2 point) 3) The value of the test statistic is ________. (4 points) 4) Is there evidence that a compact microwave oven consumes a mean of no more than 250 W? (2 points)

Answer:

We conclude that a compact microwave oven consumes a mean of more than 250 W.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an appliance manufacturer claims to have developed a compact microwave oven that consumes a mean of no more than 250 W with a population standard deviation of 15 W.

They take a sample of 20 microwave ovens and find that they consume a mean of 257.3 W.

Let \mu = <u><em>mean power consumption for microwave ovens.</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \leq 250 W     {means that a compact microwave oven consumes a mean of no more than 250 W}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu > 250 W     {means that a compact microwave oven consumes a mean of more than 250 W}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>One-sample z test statistics</u> as we know about the population standard deviation;

                                T.S. =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \bar X = sample mean power consumption for ovens = 257.3 W

            σ = population standard deviation = 15 W

            n = sample of microwave ovens = 20

So, <em><u>the test statistics</u></em>  =  \frac{257.3-250}{\frac{15}{\sqrt{20} } }

                                      =  2.176

The value of z test statistics is 2.176.

<u>Now, at 0.05 significance level the z table gives critical value of 1.645 for right-tailed test.</u>

Since our test statistic is more than the critical value of t as 2.176 > 1.645, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which <u>we reject our null hypothesis</u>.

Therefore, we conclude that a compact microwave oven consumes a mean of more than 250 W.
