One method for straightening wire prior to coiling it to make a 6. (Hypothesis Test, 2 spring is called "roller straightening". Suppose that a sample of 30 wires is selected and each is tested to determine tensile strength (N/mm²). The resulting sample mean and sample standard deviation are 2175 and 35, respectively. It is known that the mean tensile strength for spring made using spinner straightening is 2148 N/mm². (1) What is the random variable X in this problem? What does the mean µ of X represent? (2) What null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis should be tested in order to determine if the mean tensile strength for the roller method is better than the mean tensile strength for spinner method? (3) Is this one-tailed or two-tailed test? (4) What test statistic should be used to test the hypotheses? Is a normality assumption of the population necessary? Why?
