Question

A manufacturer of four-speed clutches for automobiles claims that the clutch will not fail until after 50,000 miles. A random sample of 10 clutches has a mean of 58,750 miles with a standard deviation of 3775 miles.  Assume that the population distribution is normal. Does the sample data suggest that the true mean mileage to failure is more than 50,000 miles. Test at the 5% level of significance.

a.

What kind of hypothesis test is this?

One Proportion z-Test

One mean t-test

Two Proportions z-Test

Two mean t-test

Paired Data

b.

What is the value of the hypothesized mean?

c.

What is the value of the sample statistic?

d.

What is the value of the standard error?

Round your answer to 3 decimal places.

e.

What is the p-value?

Do not use scientific notation. Round your answer to 5 decimal places.

f.

What would it mean to make a Type I error?

We concluded that the mean mileage to failure is more than 50,000 miles, when in fact it is not.

We did not conclude that the mean mileage to failure is more than 50,000 miles, when in fact it is.

Explanation / Answer

SolutionA:

given sample size is n=10

n<30 (small sample)

normal distr

its a

One mean t-test

Solutionb:

value of hypoothesize mean=50000

Solutionc:

t=sample mean-pop mean/samplesd/sqrt(n)

=58750-50000/3775/sqrt(10)

t=7.329

Solutiond:

satandrd error

sample sd/sqrt(n)

=3775/sqrt(10)

=1193.760

ANSWER:1193.760
