A textile fiber manufacturer is investigating a new drapery yarn, which the company claims has a mean thread elongation of 15 kilograms with a standard deviation of 0.5 kilograms. The company wishes to test the hypothesis H_0: mu = 15 against H_1: mu > 15 using a random sample of 4 specimens. Suppose also that the critical region (rejection region) is defined as (sample mean) X_bar > 15.41 kilograms. Calculate the beta value for the case where the true mean elongation is 15.7 kilograms

Solutions

Expert Solution

*n =random sample size. Here we have random sample of 4 specimens.So, n=4.

Textile manufacturer, Joywill International, is trying to decide which vendor they should source for a yarn needed in one of their products. Vendor A has a lower price than Vendor B but the determining factor must be the mean breaking strength of the yarn. Random samples were drawn from the vendors’ supply, with results shown below: Vendor A Vendor B Sample size 10 12 Sample mean 105 98 Sample variance 8 9 Do these data provide sufficient evidence that the...

A plastic gear manufacturer is invstigating a new gear, which the company claims it has a mean diameter of 12cm with a standard deviation of .5cm. The company wishes to test the hypothesis Ho: mu=12 against H1: Mu < 12 using a random sample of 16 specimens. What is the type 1 error if the critical region is defined as x< 11.5cm?

A manufacturer has developed a new fishing line, which the company claims has a mean breaking strength of 14.5 kilograms with a standard deviation of 0.8 kilograms. Believing the mean breaking strength is less than what company has claimed, a customer protection agency took a random sample of 40 such fishing lines and found that the mean breaking strength for this sample is 13.2 kilograms. Given the breaking strength of all such lines have a normal distribution, test whether the...
