p-value problem. Suppose the director of manufacturing at a clothing factory needs to determine wheteher a new machine is producing a particulcar type of cloth according to the manufacturer s specification which indicate that the cloth should have mean breaking strength of 70 pounds and a standard deviation of 3.5 pounds. A sample of 49 pieces reveals a sample mean of 69.1 pounds. THe p value for this hypothesis testing scenario is

Respuesta :

Answer:

The P-Value is  0.07186  

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven that :

Mean = 70

standard deviation = 3.5

sample size n = 49

sample mean = 69.1

The null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as follows;

[tex]H_o : \mu = 70 \\ \\ H_1 : \mu \neq 70[/tex]

The standard z score formula can be expressed as follows;

[tex]\mathtt{z = \dfrac{\overline X - \mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{z = \dfrac{69.1 - 70}{\dfrac{3.5}{\sqrt{49}}}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{z = \dfrac{-0.9}{\dfrac{3.5}{7}}}[/tex]

z = -1.8

Since the test is two tailed and using the Level of significance = 0.05

P- value = 2 × P( Z< - 1.8)

From normal tables

P- value = 2 × (0.03593)

The P-Value is  0.07186
