An engineer designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The engineer designed the valve such tha

t it would produce a mean pressure of 7.6 pounds/square inch. It is believed that the valve performs above the specifications. The valve was tested on 140 engines and the mean pressure was 7.8 pounds/square inch. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 1.0. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used. Make a decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Answer:

The valves perform above expectations.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Population mean, μ = 7.6 pounds per square inch

Sample size, n = 140

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 7.8 pounds per square inch

Population standard deviation = 1.0 pounds per square inch

Level of significance = 0.05

We design the null and alternate hypothesis:

H_0 :  μ = 7.6 pounds per square inch

H_A:  μ > 7.6 pounds per square inch

Formula:

z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x}-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{7.8-7.6}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{140}}}

z_{stat} = 2.366

Now, we are performing a one tail test with level of significance of 0.05, we calculate the critical value of z with the help of standard normal distribution table.

Thus, z_{critical} = 1.645

Result:

Since, z_{stat} > z_{critical}

H_{0} is rejected.

Thus, we accept the alternate hypothesis.

Hence, the valve perform above expectations.

F(-5) = 6(-5)^3 + 24(-5)^2 - 24(-5) + 5 =  0
so x = -5 is one zero.

Answer: 8400 $

Explanation:
His original debt: money paid for 10 months + remaining debt
Assume X is his original debt
Then X= 10 • 150 + 6900
X= 1500+6900=8400$
