Medical research has shown that repeated wrist extension beyond 20 degrees increases the risk of wrist and hand injuries. Each of 24 students at a university used a proposed new computer mouse design. While using the mouse, each student's wrist extension was recorded. Data consistent with summary values given in a paper are given. Use these data to test the hypothesis that the mean wrist extension for people using this new mouse design is greater than 20 degrees. (Use

α = 0.05.

Use a statistical computer package to calculate the P-value. Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to three decimal places.)

1. State your conclusion.

Reject H0. We have convincing evidence that the mean wrist extension for all people using the new mouse design is greater than 20 degrees.

2. Are any assumptions required in order for it to be appropriate to generalize the results of your test to the population of students from this university?

We need to assume that the 24 students used in the study are representative of all students at the university.

Koppenhaver Products, Inc., has a Relay Division that manufactures and sells a number of products, including a standard relay that could be used by another division in the company, the Electronics Division, in one of its products. Data concerning that relay appear below:

Capacity in units 86,000
Selling price to outside customers $ 63
Variable cost per unit $ 41
Fixed cost per unit (based on capacity) $ 10

The Electronics Division is currently purchasing 15,000 of these relays per year from an overseas supplier at a cost of $57 per relay.

Assume that the Valve Division is selling all of the valves it can produce to outside customers. Also assume that $10 in variable expenses can be avoided on transfers within the company due to reduced shipping and selling costs. What should be the minimum acceptable transfer price for the valves from the standpoint of the Valve Division?
