μ₀x̄c = ?α = 0.10

A machine is set to fill packs with a mean of 75 g; you suspect it underfills. The standard deviation is known to be 6 g. You will weigh a sample of 64 packs and test H₀: μ = 75 against H₁: μ < 75 at α = 0.10. Below which sample mean x̄c will you reject H₀?

μ₀ = 75 gσ = 6 gn = 64α = 0.10
x̄c = g

A machine is supposed to fill bottles with 75 mL on average. The standard deviation is known to be 12 mL. A sample of 36 bottles has a mean of 76.4 mL. Find the test statistic z for H₀: μ = 75.

μ₀ = 75 mLx̄ = 76.4 mLσ = 12 mLn = 36
z =
3.Medium
t −2.06402.064

A sample of 25 students has a mean score of 92.8 and a sample standard deviation of 20. Find the test statistic t for H₀: μ = 100.

μ₀ = 100x̄ = 92.8s = 20n = 25
t =
4.Medium
t −2.0302.03

A sample of 36 students has a mean score of 77 and a sample standard deviation of 10. Find the test statistic t for H₀: μ = 75.

μ₀ = 75x̄ = 77s = 10n = 36
t =
5.Hard
μ₀x̄c

A one-sided z test of H₀: μ = 100 against H₁: μ < 100 is done at α = 0.10 with a sample of 25; the standard deviation is known to be 5. In reality the mean is 97.1. Find the power 1 − β of the test in percent.

μ₀ = 100μ = 97.1σ = 5n = 25α = 0.10
1 − β = %
6.Hard
z −1.64501.645

A sample of 49 measurements has mean 121.7. The population standard deviation is 8. Find the upper limit U of the 90% confidence interval for the mean.

x̄ = 121.7σ = 8n = 4990%
U =

Answer key

  1. 1. x̄c = 74.04 g
  2. 2. z = 0.7
  3. 3. t = −1.8
  4. 4. t = 1.2
  5. 5. 1 − β = 94.72 %
  6. 6. U = 123.6
