The existing record shows machine bearing has a mean diameter of 0.6 inches. Bearing diameter is known to be normally distributed with standard deviation σ = 0.1 inches. (Additional note: If the mean diameter of bearings is larger or smaller than 0.6 inches, then the process is out of control and must be adjusted.) A random sample of 60 bearings are selected, and the average diameter of the bearing from this sample is 0.55 inches. Use α=0.02 to test the...
