Currently patrons at the library speak at an average of 61 decibels. Will this average decline after the installation of a new computer plug in station? After the plug in station was built, the librarian randomly recorded 57 people speaking at the library. Their average decibel level was 58 and their standard deviation was 10. What can be concluded at the the αα = 0.10 level of significance? For this study, we should use t-test for population mean The null and alternative hypotheses would be: H0:H0: Incorrect >, <, = or not equal to also provide the __?__ H1:H1: Incorrect >,<, = or not equal to also provide the __?__ The test statistic tc =(please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) The p-value = __?__ (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) e.Thus, the final conclusion is that .. a. The data suggest the populaton mean has significantly decreased from 61 at αα = 0.10, so there is statistically significant evidence…

"The mean value of the design load on a foundation element is 6,000 kN, and its standard deviation is 1,200 kN. The estimated mean value of the bearing capacity is 12,000 kN, and its standard deviation 3,000 kN. If both the load and the resistance are Normally distributed, compute (a) the value of the reliability index B and (b) the probability of failure.", if the load and the resistance are positively correlated with p = 0.5.

In a two-sided test: (H₁: μ ‡ claimed value or Ho:p ‡ claimed value) If the statement of the problem does not indicate which alternate hypothesis to use then run a two-sided test. 2. Identify the significance level (c). If the problem does not give one then take a = 0.5 3. Find the critical value. You need to determine if you are using a Z dsitribution (proportions or mean where is known) or the t-distribution (mean where you approximate with s). For a left sided test: CV = invNorm(a) or invT(α, n-1) where n is the sample size (n-1 = degrees of freedom). For a right sided test: CV = invNorm(1-x) or invT(1-a, n-1) where n is the sample size (n-1 = degrees of freedom). For a two-sided test: CV's (there are TWO) = + invnorm() or invT(n-1)where n is the sample size (n-1 = degrees of freedom). 4.
