Chapter 8.1, Problem 4E

Let X equal the thickness of spearmint gum manufactured for vending machines. Assume that the distribution of X is N ( μ , σ 2 ) .

The target thickness is 7.5 hundredths of an inch. We shall test the null hypothesis H 0 : μ = 7.5 against a two-sided alternative hypothesis, using ten observations.

(a) Define the test statistic and critical region for an α = 0.05 significance level. Sketch a figure illustrating this critical region.

(b) Calculate the value of the test statistic and state your decision clearly, using the following ii = 10 thicknesses in hundredths of an inch for pieces of gum that were selected randomly from the production line:

7.65 7.60 7.65 7.70 7.55

7.55 7.40 7.40 7.50 7.50

(c) Is μ = 7.50 contained in a 95% confidence interval for μ ?

Patterns in Floor Tiling A square floor is to be tiled with square tiles as shown. There are blue tiles on the main diagonals and red tiles everywhere else. In all cases, both blue and red tiles must be used. and the two diagonals must have a common blue tile at the center of the floor. If 81 blue tiles will be used, how many red tiles will be needed? For what numbers in place of 81 would this problem still be solvable? Find an expression in k giving the number of red tiles required in general.
