The null and alternative hypotheses are being used to decide whether the new filtration system could be superior. At 5%% level of significance, find the critical value (s).
Question 15
A trucking firm is considering the installation of a new, low-restriction engine air filter for its long-haul trucks, but doesn’t want to make the switch unless the new filter can be shown to improve the fuel economy of these vehicles. A test is set up in which each of 10 trucks makes the same run twice once with the old filtration system and once with the new version. Given the sample results shown below,
