Question

An electronics manufacturing process has historically had a mean completion time of

65

minutes. It is claimed that, due to improvements in the process, the mean completion time,

μ

, is now less than

65

minutes. A random sample of

14

completion times using the new process is taken. The sample has a mean completion time of

64

minutes, with a standard deviation of

8

minutes.

Assume that completion times using the new process are approximately normally distributed. At the

0.10

 level of significance, can it be concluded that the population mean completion time using the new process is less than 

65

 minutes?

 

Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below.

Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)

 

(a) State the null hypothesis
H0
and the alternative hypothesis
H1
.
H0:
H1:
(b) Determine the type of test statistic to use.
  ▼(Choose one)
 
(c) Find the value of the test statistic. (Round to three or more decimal places.)
 
(d) Find the critical value. (Round to three or more decimal places.)
 
(e) Can it be concluded that the mean completion time using the new process is less than
65
minutes?
 
Yes
 
No
