The breakdown voltages of the cables manufactured by a company have a mean of 1780 Nw and a standard deviation of 107 Nw.   It is desired to check whether a new manufacturing process modifies said average breaking stress. To do this, a 78 cable sample is taken and its mean breakdown voltage is found to be 1800 Nw.   The question is: Can it be said that the new manufacturing process has modified the mean breakdown stress to the 7 % significance level ?   To do this, we follow the following steps:   Choose the null hypothesis: a.

H0: μ = 1780 Indicates  Zα/2 for the significance level of 7%:  Indicate the lower end of the acceptance interval (we refer to the N (0,1) distribution):  Indicates the upper end of the acceptance interval (we refer to the N (0,1) distribution): Indicates the standardized value of the test statistic, z:  Please indicate which of the following statements is true:  a.

Question
The breakdown voltages of the cables manufactured by a company have a mean of 1780 Nw and a standard deviation of 107 Nw.
 
It is desired to check whether a new manufacturing process modifies said average breaking stress. To do this, a 78 cable sample is taken and its mean breakdown voltage is found to be 1800 Nw.
 
The question is: Can it be said that the new manufacturing process has modified the mean breakdown stress to the 7 % significance level ?
 
To do this, we follow the following steps:
 
Choose the null hypothesis:
a. H1 : μ ≠ 1780
b. H0: μ = 1780
Indicates  Zα/2 for the significance level of 7%: 
Indicate the lower end of the acceptance interval (we refer to the N (0,1) distribution): 
Indicates the upper end of the acceptance interval (we refer to the N (0,1) distribution):
Indicates the standardized value of the test statistic, z: 
Please indicate which of the following statements is true: 
a. Z ∉ (-zα/2 , zα/2)
b. Z ∈ (- zα/2 , zα/2)
And  therefore, it indicates what to do: 
a. Rejection H0: The new process has indeed modified the mean breakdown stress
b. I accept H0: The new process has not modified the mean breakdown stress
