Calibrating a scale: Making sure that the scales used by businesses in the United States are accurate is the responsibility of the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) in Washington, D.C. Suppose that NIST technicians are testing a scale by using a weight known to weigh exactly 1000 grams. The standard deviation for scale reading is known to be o=3.2. They weigh this weight on the scale 60 times and read the result each time. The 60 scale readings have a sample mean of x = 1000.8 grams. The calibration point is set too high if the mean scale reading is greater than 1000 grams. The technicians want to perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the calibration point is set too high. Use the a=0.05 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 calculator. Part 1 of 4 State the appropriate null and alternate hypotheses. Ho: p = 1000 H:p> 1000 This hypothesis test is a right-tailed test. Part: 1/4 Part 2 of 4 Find the P-value. Round the answer to at least four decimal places. P-value =

Question

Calibrating a scale: Making sure that the scales used by businesses in the United States are accurate is the responsibility of the
National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) in Washington, D.C. Suppose that NIST technicians are testing a scale by
using a weight known to weigh exactly 1000 grams. The standard deviation for scale reading is known to be o= 3.2. They weigh
this weight on the scale 60 times and read the result each time. The 60 scale readings have a sample mean of x = 1000.8 grams.
The calibration point is set too high if the mean scale reading is greater than 1000 grams. The technicians want to perform a
hypothesis test to determine whether the calibration point is set too high. Use the a = 0.05 level of significance and the P-value
method with the TI-84 calculator.
Part 1 of 4
State the appropriate null and alternate hypotheses.
H: H = 1000
H:p> 1000
This hypothesis test is a right-tailed
test.
Part: 1/4
Part 2 of 4
Find the P-value. Round the answer to at least four decimal places.

What is the distinctive feature of nominal measurement?
A scale is known to be "low-calibrated" in that it measures an aluminum bar to be 4 grams lower than the actual weight. If ????μold is the mean of all possible measurements of the bar using the old calibration, and ????μnew is the mean of all possible measurements of the bar using a re-calibrated scale. It is desired that ????−????=4μnew−μold=4.

See picture for question. Explaination: Eureka is a weather station in the state of California and Essex is a weather station in the state of Massachusetts. On one summer day, the noontime temperatures recorded among weather stations in California had a population mean of 29.9° Celsius and a standard deviation of 1.1° Celsius. On that same day, the noontime temperatures among weather stations in Massachusetts had a population mean of 39.2° Celsius and a standard deviation of 4.4° Celsius. On the summer day, each state's distribution of noontime temperatures among its weather stations was clearly bell-shaped. At the Eureka weather station, the noontime temperature on the summer day was 27° Celsius, and the noontime temperature at Essex was 24° Celsius.
