A new design for the braking system on a certain type of car has been proposed. For the current system, the true average braking distance at 40 mph under specified conditions is known to be 120 ft. It is proposed that the new design be implemented only if sample data strongly indicates a reduction in true average braking distance for the new design. A) Define the parameter of interest and state the relevant hypothesis. B) Suppose braking distance for the new system is normally distributed with sigma=10. Let X denote the sample average braking distance for a random sample of 36 observations. Which values of X are more contradictory to H0 than 117.2, what is the P-value in this case, and what conclusion is appropriate if alpha=.10? C) Find the cutoff point "c" such that rejection region X <= c with probability type 1 error = 0.1. Then Calculate beta(115).

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
