Question

An electronics manufacturing process has historically had a mean completion time of 75 minutes. It is claimed that, due to improvements in the process, the mean completion time, μ, is now less than 75 minutes. A random sample of 13 completion times using the new process is taken. The sample has a mean completion time of 72 minutes, with a standard deviation of 10 minutes. Assume that completion times using the new process are approximately normally distributed. At the 0.10 level of significance, can it be concluded that the population mean completion time using the new process is less than 75 minutes? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places.

a. State the null hyposthesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1.

b. Find the value of the test statistic.

c. Find the critical value.

d. Can it be concluded that the mean completion time using the new process is less than 75 minutes

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
