The true average diameter of ball bearings of a certain type is supposed to be 0.5 in. A one-sample t test will be carried out t
o see whether this is the case. What conclusion is appropriate in each of the following situations?
(a) n = 15, t = 1.66, a = 0.05
a. Reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence that the true diameter differs from 0.5 in
b. Reject the null hypothesis. There is not sufficient evidence that the true diameter differs from 0.5 in
c. Do not reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence that the true diameter differs from 0.5 in
d. Do not reject the null hypothesis. There is not sufficient evidence that the true diameter differs from 0.5 in
(b) n = 15, t = 1.66, a = 0.05
a. Reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence that the true diameter differs from 0.5 in
b. Reject the null hypothesis. There is not sufficient evidence that the true diameter differs from 0.5 in

b. Reject the null hypothesis. There is not sufficient evidence that the true diameter differs from 0.5 in

Answer:
Option C - Do not reject the null hypothesis. There is not sufficient evidence that the true diameter differs from 0.5 in
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given;
n = 15
t-value = 1.66
Significance level;α = 0.05
So, DF = n - 1 = 15 - 1 = 14
From the one-sample t - table attached, we can see that the p - value of 0.06 at a t-value of 1.66 and a DF of 14
Now, since the P-value is 0.06,it is greater than the significance level of 0.05. Thus we do not reject the null hypothesis. We conclude that there is not sufficient evidence that the true diameter differs from 0.5 in.
