Many properties of the fabric used in different textiles, such as sheets and clothing, are influenced by whether the diameter of yarn used in the creation of the textile is consistent. Therefore, various methods can be used to measure the diameter of yarn at specified intervals, such as every 2mm2mm, to determine the consistency of the diameter. These measurements are normally distributed. Suppose that one textile manufacturer will not use any yarn in which the variance of the diameters is greater than 0.0009mm. In order to ensure that the yarn is usable, the diameter of a length of yarn is measured at 100 random intervals. The variance of those measurements is found to be 0.001119mm. Does this evidence provide support that the batch of yarn is unusable by the manufacturer? Use a 0.025 level of significance. Step 3 of 3 : Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision. 1. We reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is sufficient evidence at a 0.025 level of significance that the batch of yarn is unusable. 2. We fail to eject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is sufficient evidence at a 0.025 level of significance that the batch of yarn is unusable. 3. We reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is insufficient evidence at a 0.025 level of significance that the batch of yarn is unusable. 4. We fail to eject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is insufficient evidence at a 0.025 level of significance that the batch of yarn is unusable.
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!
