## Statistical Analysis of Manufacturing Data

### Objective

A factory manufactures steel rods, which are supposed to have a mean length of 25 cm. If evidence at \(\alpha = 0.05\) shows the mean length is different from 25 cm, the factory will shut down due to potential customer dissatisfaction and maintenance issues. A random sample of 150 rods is taken, with lengths provided in the file **rods20.xls**.

### Tasks

1. **Make a Frequency Table and Histogram**
   - Organize the data with the first class of lengths (20, 23.5).
  
2. **Conduct a Hypothesis Test**
   - Test if the mean length of the rods is different from 25 cm.

3. **Conclusions and Recommendations**
   - Based on the test results, decide if shutting down the factory is necessary.
  
4. **Understanding Errors**
   - Define:
     - **Type I Error**: Rejecting a true null hypothesis (false positive).
     - **Type II Error**: Failing to reject a false null hypothesis (false negative).
  
5. **Error Consequences**
   - Discuss potential outcomes of making Type I and Type II errors in this context.
  
6. **Confidence Interval**
   - Find and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the rod lengths.

7. **Final Recommendations**
   - Decide on shutting down the factory based on the confidence interval. Justify your decision.
  
8. **Comparative Analysis**
   - Compare and contrast conclusions from hypothesis testing and confidence intervals.

### Notes

- **Goal**: Use the data for practical learning.
- **Data Management**: Save all files and data diligently.

### Lab Report Requirements

- Include frequency table, histogram, and hypothesis tests in your report.
- Report both the test statistic and p-value, decide on \(H_0\), and summarize your findings.
- Use accurate and concise data representation—include tables and graphs for clarity.
- Precision: Use thousandths where applicable. 

Remember, thorough preparation and analysis in this project are critical for practical learning and decision-making in a manufacturing context.
