Question
**Title: Hypothesis Testing for Compressive Strength of Cement Mixtures**

A mixture of pulverized fuel ash and Portland cement to be used for grouting should have a compressive strength of more than 1,300 kN/m². The mixture will not be used unless experimental evidence indicates conclusively that the strength specification has been met. Suppose compressive strength for specimens of this mixture is normally distributed with σ = 69. Let μ denote the true average compressive strength.

### (a) Null and Alternative Hypotheses

#### What are the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses?

- **Option 1:** 
  - \( H_0: \mu \leq 1,300 \)
  - \( H_a: \mu > 1,300 \) (Correct)

- Other options incorrectly set up \( H_0 \) and \( H_a \).

### (b) Probability Distribution and P-Value Calculation

#### Let \( \bar{X} \) denote the sample average compressive strength for \( n = 15 \) randomly selected specimens. 

Consider the test procedure with test statistic \( \bar{X} \) itself (not standardized). What is the probability distribution of the test statistic when \( H_0 \) is true?

- **Correct Answer:** The test statistic has a normal distribution.

#### P-Value Calculation

If \( \bar{X} = 1,340 \), find the P-value (rounded to four decimal places).
- **P-value = 0.01**

Should \( H_0 \) be rejected using a significance level of 0.01?
- **Decision:** Do not reject \( H_0 \)

### (c) Distribution of Test Statistic for Different Mean

#### What is the probability distribution of the test statistic when \( \mu = 1,350 \) and \( n = 15 \)?

- **Correct Answer:** The test statistic has a normal distribution.

#### Mean and Standard Deviation
- **Mean = 1350 kN/m²**
- **Standard Deviation = 17.808 kN/m²**

#### Type II Error Probability

For a test with \( \alpha = 0.01 \), what is the probability that the mixture will be judged unsatisfactory when in fact \( \mu = 1,350 \) (a type II error)?
- **Probability = 0.1721**

This exercise illustrates the application
