Question

Round all intermediate steps to six decimal places if necessary. As part of the quality-control program for a catalyst manufacturing line, the raw materials (alumina and a binder) are tested for purity. The process requires that the polity of the alumina be greater than 84.5%. A random sample from a recent shipment of alumina yielded the following results (in percent): 93.2 87.0 92.5 90.3 86.7 93.6 A hypothesis test will be done to determine whether or not to accept the shipment. (a) State the appropriate null and alternate hypotheses. H_0: mu lessthanorequalto 84.5 versus H_1: > 84.5 (b) Give the range for the P-value. .

Explanation / Answer

Correct Answer:=P-Value: 0.0024

Since

Alternative Hypothesis: µ > 84.5


Sample Size, n: 6
Mean: 90.55

Standard Deviation, s: 3.085936
