a lab technicianis working on lab components. the components are imprtant to having a mean of 6.0 mm, but the technician suspects the population mean is not 6.0 mm, an experiment concluded which 100 components produced by the process are selected randomly and the diameter measured on each. it is known that the population std = .15. the experiment indicates average diameter = 6.032 millimeters. Does this sample information appear to support or refute the technicians suspicion? use 0.01 level of significance. a) state null and alternative hypothesis, and define clearly what the parameters represents b) state the test statistic, interpret its value and show how its found c) state the p-value and draw conclusions based on the context of the problem
