A manufacturer of electrical products will not accept a shipment of parts from a vendor if there is reason to believe that the mean resistance is not 100 ohms. A random sample of 25 selected from a large shipment yields a mean of 97 ohms and a standard deviation of 10 ohms. Should the shipment be accepted? Use a .02 level of significance to justify your answer.
