2. A golf association requires that golf balls have a diameter that is 1.68 inches. To determine if golf balls conform to thestandard, a random sample of golf balls was selected. Their diameters are shown in the accompanying data table. Do the golf balls conform to the standards? Use the a= 0.05 level of significance.
Golf Ball Diameter
1.682 1.676 1.681
1.684 1.679 1.686
1.684 1.685 1.673
1.685 1.682 1.675
a. First determine the appropriate hypotheses.
H0: (p,o,u) (>,<,=,≠) BLANK
H1: (p,o,u) (>,<,=,≠) BLANK
b. Find the test statistic.
c. Find the P-value.
d. What can be concluded from the hypothesis test?
Do not reject H0.There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the golf balls do not conform to the association's standards at the a=0.05 level of significance.
B. Reject H0.There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the golf balls do not conform to the association's standards at the a=0.05 level of significance.
C. Do not reject H0. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the golf balls do not conform to the association's standards at the a=0.05 level of significance.
D. Reject H0.There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the golf balls do not conform to the association's standards at the a=0.05 level of significance.
Answer:-
S.No. | Diameter | (Xi-xbar)2 |
1 | 1.682 | 0.000001 |
2 | 1.676 | 0.000025 |
3 | 1.681 | 0 |
4 | 1.684 | 0.000009 |
5 | 1.679 | 0.000004 |
6 | 1.686 | 0.000025 |
7 | 1.684 | 0.000009 |
8 | 1.685 | 0.000016 |
9 | 1.673 | 0.000064 |
10 | 1.685 | 0.000016 |
11 | 1.682 | 0.000001 |
12 | 1.675 | 0.000036 |
Total | 20.172 | 0.000206 |
xbar = 20.172 ÷ 12 = 1.681
S2 = 0.000206 ÷ 11 = 0.00001873
Conclusion:-Do not reject H0. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the golf balls do not conform to the association's standards at the a=0.05 level of significance.
