Question

An engineer measured the Brinell hardness of 25 pieces of ductile iron from her company, that were subcritically annealed. She believes that the alloys her company uses in iron, will ultimately make the iron stronger, and thus will have a higher Brinell hardness score. She tests 25 pieces of ductile iron from her company with the resulting data of Brinell hardness scores:

170 167 174 179 179 187 179 183 179

156 163 156 187 156 167 156 174 170

183 179 174 179 170 159 187

The engineer hypothesizes that the mean Brinell hardness score of such ductile iron pieces from her company will greater than known average Brinell score for iron which is 170.

At the 5% level of significance, is there enough evidence to conclude this?

1) Step 1: State the Claims which means to State the null and alternative hypotheses. Use correct math type. You may want to consider looking back at the symbols assignment from the beginning of class.

2).

a) What is the sample mean? Use 4 decimal places.

b) What is the sample standard deviation? Use 4 decimal places.

c) Are the normality assumptions met?

3) Step 3: Assessment of Evidence. Find the pvalue and upload an image of the normal curve with the test statistic indicated and the correct area of the curve shaded. This shaded area is the pvalue.

a) What is the pvalue? Use 4 decimal places.

b) Upload an image of the normal curve with the test statistic indicated and the correct area of the curve shaded. This shaded area is the pvalue.

4) Step 4: Conclusion. State your conclusion. Either reject or fail to reject H0H0 , indicate why, then write the conclusion in terms of the problem.
