Answer #1

a)

Ho :   µ =   600                  
Ha :   µ >   600       (Right tail test)          
                          
Level of Significance ,    α =    0.05                  
sample std dev ,    s =    32.0000                  
Sample Size ,   n =    7                  
Sample Mean,    x̅ =   630.0000                  
                          
degree of freedom=   DF=n-1=   6                  
                          
Standard Error , SE = s/√n =   32.0000   / √    7   =   12.0949      
t-test statistic= (x̅ - µ )/SE = (   630.000   -   600   ) /    12.0949   =   2.480
                          
critical t value, t* =        1.9432   [Excel formula =t.inv(α/no. of tails,df) ]              
                          
p-Value   =   0.023890   [Excel formula =t.dist(t-stat,df) ]              
Decision:   p-value<α, Reject null hypothesis                       

there is sufficient evidence ..............

0.02<p value <0.025

b)

d = |(M-µ)/σ|=0.3125

true mean ,    µ =    610              
                      
hypothesis mean,   µo =    600              
significance level,   α =    0.05              
sample size,   n =   7           0.3125  
std dev,   σ =    32              
                      
δ=   µ - µo =    10              
                      
std error of mean,   σx = σ/√n =    32.0000   / √    7   =   12.09486

Zα =       1.6449   (right tailed test)
P(type II error) , ß =   P(Z < Zα - δ/σx)                  
= P(Z <    1.645   - (   10   /   12.0949   ))
=P(Z<   0.818   ) =   0.7933   [excel fucntion: =normsdist(z)      
power =    1 - ß =   0.20666

c)

True mean   µ =    610                              
hypothesis mean,   µo =    600                              
                                      
Level of Significance ,    α =    0.05                              
std dev =    σ =    32.000                              
power =    1-ß =    0.9                              
ß=       0.1                              
δ=   µ - µo =    10                              
                                      
Z ( α ) =       1.6449   [excel function: =normsinv(α)                          
                                     
Z (ß) =        1.2816   [excel function: =normsinv(ß)                         
                                      
sample size needed =    n = ( ( Z(ß)+Z(α) )*σ / δ )² = ( (   1.2816   +   1.6449   ) *   32.0   /   10   ) ² =   87.69
                                      
so, sample size =        88

    The Breaking strengths of cables produced by a certain manufacturer have a mean, H, of 1750 pounds, and a standard deviation of 65 pounds, It is claimed that an improvement in the manufacturing process has increased the mean breaking strength. To evaluate this claim, 100 newly manufactured cables are randomly chosen and tested, and their mean breaking strength is found to be 1752 pounds. Can we support, at the 0.05 level of significance, the claim that the mean breaking strength...
