Question 1
Note:
Zα = Z0.05 = 1.645 (Non reject 90%)
Zα = Z0.025 = 1.96 (Non reject 95%)
> 1.645 rejected
How about P value?

Question 2
The viscosity of a liquid detergent is supposed to average 800 centistokes at
25°C. A random sample of 16 batches of detergent is collected, and the
average viscosity is 812. Suppose we know that the standard deviation of
viscosity is σ= 25 centistokes.
a) State the hypotheses that you think should be tested in this experiment
b) Test these hypotheses using α= 0.05. What are your conclusions?
c) Find the P-value for the test in part (b)
d) Construct a 95 percent confidence interval on the mean breaking
strength.

Question 3
The shelf life of a carbonated beverage is of interest. Ten
bottles are randomly selected and tested, and the
following results are obtained.
a) We would like to demonstrate that the mean shelf
life exceeds 120 days. Set up appropriate
hypotheses for investigating this claim.
b) Test these hypotheses using α= 0.01. What are your
conclusions?
c) Find the P-value for the test in part (b).
d) Construct a 99 percent confidence interval on the
mean shelf life.

Question 4
Two machines are used for filling plastic bottles with a net volume of 16.0 ounces. The filling processes can
be assumed to be normal, with standard deviation of σ1 = 0.015 and σ2 = 0.018. The quality engineering
department suspects that both machines fill to the same net volume, whether or not this volume is 16.0
ounces. An experiment is performed by taking a random sample from the output of each machine.
a) State the hypotheses that you think should be tested in this experiment
b) Test these hypotheses using α= 0.05. What are your conclusions?
c) Find the P-value for the test in part (b)
d) Construct a 95 percent confidence interval on the mean breaking strength.

If given variances for both machines are 0.015 and 0.018,
analyse your hypothesis using 95% acceptance level (α = 8 14.98 15.02
