An engineer has designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The valve was tested on 110 engines

and the mean pressure was 4.6 lbs/square inch. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 0.8. If the valve was designed to produce a mean pressure of 4.5 lbs/square inch, is there sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level that the valve does not perform to the specifications?

Answer: NO.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given , we have to test the hypothesis.

H_0:\mu=4.5\\\\ H_a:\mu\neq4.5

∵ H_a is two-tailed , so our test is a two-tailed test.

Also, the standard deviation is known to be 0.8 , so we use z-test.

Test statistic:z=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

, where \overline{x} = Sample mean

\mu = population mean

\sigma = Population standard deviation

n= Sample size

Put  \overline{x}=4.6

\mu=4.5

\sigma=0.8

n=  110 , we get

z=\dfrac{4.6-4.5}{\dfrac{0.8}{\sqrt{110}}}\approx1.31

P-value for two tailed test = 2P(Z>|z|)

= 2P(Z>|1.31|) = 2(1-P(Z<1.31))   [∵ P(Z>z)=1-P(Z<z)]

=2(1- 0.9049)  [By z-table]

=0.1902

Decision : ∵ P-value (0.1902) > Significance level (0.02).

It means we do not reject the null hypothesis.

[When P-values < Significance level then we reject the null hypothesis.]

Conclusion : We do not have sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level that the valve does not perform to the specifications.
