Question

The lead content in noodles is assumed to be normally distributed with standard deviation
of 0.3. The permissible average lead content in noodles is at most 5.5 percent. To test the true
average, 16 independent samples of noodles were analysed and the mean lead content
generated was 5.6 percent. Does the sample indicate that the true average percentage of lead
content is less than the true mean at 4% level of significance? Also calculate the power of the
test if the true mean value is 5.51 percent.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
