Chapter 10.1, Problem 19AYU
In Problems 15–22, (a) determine the null and alternative hypotheses, (b) explain what it would mean to make a Type I error, and (c) explain what it would mean to make a Type II error.
19. Valve Pressure The standard deviation in the pressure required to open a certain valve is known to be σ = 0.7 psi. Due to changes in the manufacturing process, the quality-control manager feels that the pressure variability has been reduced.

1. On a certain hearing ability test, the mean is 300 and the standard deviation is 20. Thebetter you can hear, the higher your score. Can people who clean their ears frequentlyhear better than others? You take a sample of 31 people who clean their earsfrequently. Their sample mean test score is 308. Do a hypothesis test with α = 0.01.H 0 : People who clean their ears regularly hear at the same level that everyone elsedoes: µ = 300.H 1 : People who clean their ears regularly hear better than others: µ > 300.a. Check to see if the null hypothesis sampling distribution is normal. Keep in mindwhether you are dealing with means or proportions.
b. Draw the null hypothesis sampling distribution (a normal curve). Label its center.
c. Calculate your test statistic and draw it on your null hypothesis curve. This is justyour sample statistic ( or ) converted to a Z-score on your null hypothesis samplingdistribution. Make sure you are using the appropriate SE formula! Use forproportions…
