Question

-21. A consumer products company is formulating a new shampoo and is interested in foam height (in mm). Foam height is approximately normally distributed and has a standard deviation of 20 mm. The company wishes to test mm versus mm, using the results of n 10 samples. (a) Find the P-value

Answer 1

Answer:

0.057

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the p value, we need to obtain the test statistic :

For a one sample test :

Test statistic is given by :

(xbar - μ) ÷ (σ/√(n))

(185 - 175) ÷ (20/√(10))

10 ÷ 6.3245553

Test statistic = 1.581

Qe used the Z distribution because we are working with the population standard deviation.

Using the Pvalue from test statistic calculator :

Pvalue obtained using the Pvalue from Z statistic calculator, we obtain ;

Pvalue = 0.0569
