Transcribed Image Text:**Title: Statistical Analysis of Compressive Strength in Construction Materials**
**Introduction:**
This exercise involves the statistical analysis of compressive strength for a mixture of pulverized fuel ash and Portland cement used in grouting. The objective is to determine if the mixture meets the specified compressive strength requirement of more than 1,300 kN/m².
**Problem Statement:**
Suppose the compressive strength for specimens of this mixture is normally distributed with a standard deviation, σ = 65. Let μ denote the true average compressive strength.
---
**Part (a): Hypotheses Formulation**
**Objective:** Determine the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.
- Null Hypothesis (\(H_0\)): μ = 1,300
- Alternative Hypothesis (\(H_a\)): μ > 1,300
Selecting correct hypotheses from options:
- \(H_0: \mu = 1,300\)
- \(H_a: \mu > 1,300\)
---
**Part (b): Statistical Distribution for Test Statistic**
**Objective:** Identify the probability distribution of the test statistic \( \overline{X} \) with sample size n = 11.
- Given the test procedure is based on the sample average compressive strength \( \overline{X} \).
Test statistic possible distributions:
- The test statistic has a normal distribution.
With \( \overline{x} = 1,350 \), calculate \( P\)-value:
\( P\)-value = 0.0009
- Decision: Should \( H_0 \) be rejected using a significance level of 0.01?
Options:
- Reject \( H_0 \).
---
**Part (c): Probability Distribution of Test Statistic**
**Objective:** Determine the distribution of the test statistic when n = 11 and \( \overline{x} = 1,350 \).
Options:
- The test statistic has a normal distribution (correct answer).
State mean and standard deviation (in kN/m²) of the test statistic:
- Mean: 1,300
- Standard Deviation: 19.5910
**Probability of Type II Error for α = 0.01:**
- Probability (round to four decimal places): 0.3129
**Conclusion:**
For α = 0.01, the probability of a Type II error, where the mixture is incorrectly judged as unsatisfactory when μ = 1,
