Question

In an automobile repair and service industry, the average number of defective items in all the lots of automobile parts produced by a machine last week was 8. The supervisor believes that the mean number of defective parts produced by the same machine will differ in the present week. To test whether the average differs from 8, he samples 30 lots to obtain the mean number of defective parts to be 9 with a standard deviation of 3.

Using the critical value approach, identify the decision at the 5% level of significance.

The decision is not to reject H₀ because the test statistic does not fall in the rejection region (-∞,-1.960] U [1.960, ∞).

The decision is to reject H₀ because the test statistic falls in the rejection region (-∞,-1.645].

The decision is not to reject H₀ because the test statistic does not fall in the rejection region [1.645, ∞).

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 + ...
