An engineer has designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The valve was tested on 290 engines
and the mean pressure was 7.6 pounds/square inch (psi). Assume the population standard deviation is 1.0. If the valve was designed to produce a mean pressure of 7.7 psi, is there sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level that the valve does not perform to the specifications?
Step 1 of 6: State the null and alternative hypotheses.
Step 2 of 6: Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Step 3 of 6: Specify if the test is one-tailed or two-tailed.
