A supplier claims the mean thickness of its washers is 0.75 inches. Washers that are too big or too small can cause problems in the machines. A sample of 50 finds xbar = 0.73 inches and s = 0.08 inches. Test the supplier's claim.
What is the null hypothesis?
What is the p-value? Remember to consider whether it is a one-tailed or two-tailed test.
Draw a conclusion.

A company claims that the mean volume of the soda in its cans is 12.0 ounces. In a random sample of 8 of its cans, the mean is found to be 12.1 ounces. Based on past research, the population standard deviation is assumed to be 0.1 ounces. Test the claim that the mean is 12.0 ounces. Use a 0.01 level of significance. a) State the null and alternative hypotheses. b) Find the value of the test statistic. Use the appropriate...
