An article presents an analysis of the profit of international construction projects. In a sample of 126 projects, the average profit margin (in percent) was 8.27 with a standard deviation of 16.33. A test is made of H₀ : μ ≥ 10 versus H₁ : μ < 10.

- Find the P-value. Round the answer to four decimal places.

This is what i have, but for some reason I'm being told it is wrong.

(8.27 - 10 ) / (16.33 / sqrt 126) = -1.879 - -> -1.88 -- > Z = .0301

- The P-value calculated for testing H₀ : µ ≥ 10 versus H₁ : µ < 10 is not a small probability, hence it is plausible that the mean profit margin is 10% or more. False.

Yes it is wrong, because population standard deviation is unknown therefore you can't use z test this problem we can solve using t test.

The article presents an analysis of the current outlook of the highest court in the United States. We often think of courts (and especially the Supreme Court) as dispassionate and thoroughly objective institutions. Yet as the text materials in Chapter One discuss, there are various schools of jurisprudence, some of whom try to examine the ways in which courts really operate. Robin Conrad and Ralph Nader have opposed views on the current court that appear prominently in the article. Link...

An article presents voltage measurements for a sample of 66 industrial networks in Estonia. Assume the rated voltage for these networks is 232 V. The sample mean voltage was 231.5 V with a standard deviation of 2.19 V. Let μ represent the population mean voltage for these networks. a) Find the P-value for testing H0 : μ = 232 versus H1 : µ ≠ 232. Round the answer to four decimal places. b) Either the mean voltage is not equal...

Case Scenario Analysis: Managing risks in construction projects has been recognized as a very important management process in order to achieve the project objectives in terms of time, cost, quality, safety and environmental sustainability. A study aims to identify and analyze the risks associated with the development of construction projects from project stakeholder and life cycle perspectives. The study identified following risk factors. 1.Tight project schedule 2.High performance/quality expectations 3.Low management competency of subcontractors 4.Incomplete or inaccurate cost estimate 5.Lack...

An article in Journal of Structural Engineering presents the results of an experiment that evaluated a standard method for estimating the brace force for a truss. In a sample of 360 short test trusses the method underestimated the force for 45 of them, and in a sample of 400 long test trusses, the method underestimated the force for 60 of them. Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the underestimation rates for long and short trusses.
