Lazurus Steel Corporation produces iron rods that are supposed to be 36 inches long. The machine that makes these rods does not produce each rod exactly 36 inches long. The lengths of the rods are normally distributed and vary slightly. It is known that when the machine is working properly, the mean length of the rods is 36 inches. The standard deviation of the lengths of all rods produced on this machine is always equal to 0.035 inch. The quality control department at the company takes a sample of 20 such rods every week, calculates the mean length of these rods, and tests the null hypothesis, µ = 36 inches, against the alternative hypothesis, µ # 36 inches. If the null hypothesis is rejected, the machine is stopped and adjusted. A recent sample of 20 rods produced a mean length of 36.015 inches. Calculate the p-value for this test of hypothesis. Based on this p-value, will the quality control inspector decide to stop the machine and adjust it if he chooses the maximum probability of a Type I error to be 0.05? Use the normal distribution table. Round your answer to four decimal places. p-value =l The machine adjustment. the tolerance is +/-2%

Concept explainers

Continuous Probability Distributions

Probability distributions are of two types, which are continuous probability distributions and discrete probability distributions. A continuous probability distribution contains an infinite number of values. For example, if time is infinite: you could count from 0 to a trillion seconds, billion seconds, so on indefinitely. A discrete probability distribution consists of only a countable set of possible values.

Normal Distribution

Suppose we had to design a bathroom weighing scale, how would we decide what should be the range of the weighing machine? Would we take the highest recorded human weight in history and use that as the upper limit for our weighing scale? This may not be a great idea as the sensitivity of the scale would get reduced if the range is too large. At the same time, if we keep the upper limit too low, it may not be usable for a large percentage of the population!

The blue catfish (Ictalurus Furcatus) is the largest species of North American catfish. The current world record stands at 143 pounds, which was caught in the John H. Kerr Reservoir (Bugg's Island Lake) located in Virginia. According to American Expedition, the average weight of a blue catfish is between 20 to 40 pounds. Given that the largest blue catfish ever caught was at the John H. Kerr Reservoir, you believe that the mean weight of the fish in this reservoir is greater than 40 pounds.

At the auction of the music collection, there is 1 masterpiece sheet music whose composer is unknown. A professor from the College of Music, Universität der Künste Berlin was asked to analyze who the score composer is. You are asked to help analyze statistically. The professor saw there were 2 names who may have been the composer, namely: Johann Strauss II and Tchaikovsky. The the professor also provides general data, namely the average number of tones per bar of each composer. Give the results of your analysis, who is the composer of the sheet music. Calculations are made using a spreadsheet! Note: Take the last 3 digits of your ID (2602296545 ). Use the step below: 1. For example, for example ID 2602296545 → 545 is taken. 2. Replace number 5 with number 1; example: ID 545 → 145 3. Last 3 digits of your new ID == abc; example 145: a = 1, bc = 45.
Jack's clothing sells on average, 25 shirts per week, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less but typically a deviation of about 3. The cost per jacket is $65. Because Jack's is located in a sketchy part of town their insurance on inventory is 33% on all goods. The good news is free shipping to customers although UPS charges Jack's $8.50 for every delivery. It takes 2 weeks from the time jackets are ordered until they are received. Jack's supplier has said they only ship by pallet, and each pallet contains 75 jackets. If the reorder point is 50 what is the average flow time?

An ecologist hypothesizes a relationship between wing span of birds and the width of tree branches they use. The ecologist captured male birds, measured their wing span and other characteristics in millimeters, and then marked and released them. During the ensuing winter, the ecologist repeatedly observed the marked birds as they foraged for food on tree branches. He noted the branch diameter on each occasion, and calculated the average branch diameter for each bird in centimeters. The measurement data are below. What can the ecologist conclude with an a of 0.10? wing span branch diameter 79.3 80.1 80.7 81.5 79.5 80.7 81.1 80.5 80.7 1.02 1.04 1.21 1.15 1.21 1.56 1.39 1.31 1.39 a) What is the appropriate statistic?
