A manufacturing company produces valves in various sizes and shapes. One particular valve plate is supposed to have a tensile st

rength of 5 pounds per millimeter (lbs/mm). The company tests a random sample of 42 such valve plates and finds a sample mean of 5.0611 lbs/mm and a standard deviation of 0.2803 lbs/mm.a) What is the appropriate null and alternate hypothesis to determine if the average tensile strength of the valve plate is different than 5 lbs/mm?b) Using \alpha= 0.10, what are the critical values for the hypothesis test?c) What is the test statistic for the hypothesis test?d) Draw a conclusion for the hypothesis test. Make sure you state your conclusion in the context of the problem.e) Calculate the p-value for the hypothesis test.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The researcher wants to test if the valve plates manufactured have the expected tensile strength of 5 lbs/mm. So he took a sample of 42 valve plates and measured their tensile strength, obtaining a sample mean of X[bar]= 5.0611 lbs/mm and a sample standard deviation of S=0.2803 lbs/mm.

The study variable is:

X: tensile strength of a valve plate (lbs/mm)

The parameter of interest is the mean tensile strength of the valve plates, μ.

If the claim is that the valve plates of the sample have on average tensile strength of 5 lbs/mm, symbolically: μ = 5

a) The statistic hypotheses are:

H₀: μ = 5

H₁: μ ≠ 5

b) To determine the critical values and rejection region of a hypothesis test you need three to determine three factors of the hypothesis test:

1) The statistical hypothesis.

2) The significance level.

3) The statistic to use for the analysis.

The statistic hypothesis determines the number of critical values and the direction of the rejection region, in this case, the test is two-tailed you will have two critical values and the rejection region will be divided into two.

With the statistic, you will determine the distribution under which you will work and the significance level determines the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis.

To study the population mean you need that the variable of interest has at least a normal distribution, there is no information about the distribution of the study variable but the sample size is large enough n≥30, so you can apply the central limit theorem to approximate the distribution of the sample mean to normal: X[bar]≈N(μ;σ²/n)

Thanks to this approximation it is valid to use an approximation of the standard normal distribution for the test:

Z= \frac{X[bar]-Mu}{\frac{Sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }≈N(0;1)

The critical values are:

Z_{\alpha /2}= Z_{0.05}= -1.648

Z_{1-\alpha /2}= Z_{0.95}= 1.648

You will reject the null hypothesis if Z_{H_0}≤-1.648 or if Z_{H_0}≥1.648

You will not reject the null hypothesis if -1.648<Z_{H_0}<1.648

c)

Z_{H_0}= \frac{X[bar]-Mu}{\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } }=  \frac{5.0611-5}{\frac{0.2803}{\sqrt{42} } }= 1.41

d) The value of the statistic is between the two critical values so the decision is to not reject the null hypothesis. Then using a significance level of 10% there is no significant evidence to reject the null hypothesis so the valve plates have on average tensile strength of 5 lbs/mm.

e) The p-value is defined as the probability corresponding to the calculated statistic if possible under the null hypothesis (i.e. the probability of obtaining a value as extreme as the value of the statistic under the null hypothesis). If the test is two-tailed, so is the p-value, you can calculate it as:

P(Z≤-1.41) + P(Z≥1.41)= P(Z≤-1.41) + (1 - P(Z≤1.41))= 0.079 + ( 1 - 0.921)= 0.158

p-value: 0.158

I hope it helps!

use the elimination method to solve the system of equations. choose the correct ordered pair x-y=2 2x+3y=14
son4ous [18]

Answer:

x = 4

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x - y = 2

   x = 2 + y

2x + 3y = 14

  2(2 + y) + 3y = 14

  4 + 2y + 3y = 14

  4 + 5y = 14

  5y = 10

   y = 2

x - y = 2

  x - 2 = 2

  x = 4

the sum of total amount of money is distributed equally to some girl If there has been five girls less than each of them get Rs.
Arturiano [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sum of rupee be x

no of boys be y

then each boy get x/y

now if the no of boys increased by 10 each boy get x/(y+10) = (x/y)-1 => x/(y+10) = (x-y)/y .........(1)

now case 2nd if no of boys decrease by 15 each boy get x/(y-15)= (x/y) +3 => x/(y-15) = (x+3y)/y ...........(2)

After dans holiday. Dan has 50 new email messages in his inbox . 13 of them are attachements. what proportion of the email messa
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

26%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Dan has 59 new email messages and 13 have attachment then the proportion that have attachments may be expressed as a ratio of the number with attachments to the total number of emails.

Hence proportion of the email messages have attachments as a percentage

= 13/50 * 100%

= 26%

This means that 26% of the emails received have attachments
