A machine produces ball bearings is calibrated to produce diameters of 0.5 inches on average. A sample of 10 ball bearings from the process was taken. The average diameter was 0.493 inches, with a standard deviation of 0.022 inches. A quality control inspector wants to determine if the machine is calibrated properly. Conduct a hypothesis test at the alpha= 0.05 level to answer his question.
1. What is the parameter of interest?
2. What is the Point estimate for the parameter of interest?
3. Write down the Null Hypothesis
4. Write down the Alternative Hypothesis
5. What’s the test-statistics?
6. Where is the rejection region?
7. What’s the critical value?
8. What’s your conclusion?
9. Write down the definition of P-value in terms of math, and estimate a reasonable range of P-value.

A machine produces ball bearings with diameters that have a normal distribution with known standard deviation of 0.04 centimeters. Ball bearings with diameters that are too small or too large are undesirable. The machine is out of calibration if the machine's average output differs from 0.50 cm. Assume that a technician randomly samples 25 bearings which had a mean diameter of 0.51 centimeters. The technician wants to perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the machine is out of calibration....
The diameters of ball bearings made by a machine follow a normal distribution. Ball bearings that are too large or too small are undesirable since they will not work properly. The manager wants to see if the machine is producing ball bearings that are significantly different from .35 inches. To make sure the machine is working properly, we take a random sample of 25 ball bearings and find that the sample mean diameter is .34 inches. Assume the population standard...
showing work would be helpful! thanks
Shulman Steel Corporation makes bearings that are supplied to other companies. One of the machines makes bearings that are supposed to have a diameter of 4 inches. The bearings that have a diameter of either more or less than 4 inches are considered defective and are discarded. When working properly, the machine does not produce more than 10% of bearings that are defective. The quality control inspector selects a sample of 225 bearings each...
A machine that produces ball bearings has initially been set so that the true average diameter of the bearings it produces is 0.600 in. A bearing is acceptable if its diameter is within 0.004 in. of this target value. Suppose, however, that the setting has changed during the course of production, so that the distribution of the diameters produced is well approximated by a normal distribution with mean 0.599 in. and standard deviation 0.002 in. What percentage of the bearings...
A steel factory produces iron rods that are supposed to be 36 inches long. The machine that makes these rods does not produce each rod exactly 36 inches long. The lengths of these rods vary slightly. It is known that when the machine is working properly, the mean length of the rods is 36 inches. According to design, the standard deviation of the lengths of all rods produced on this machine is always equal to .05 inches. The quality control...

Lazarus Steel Corporation produces iron rods that are supposed to be 36 inches long. The machine that makes these rods does not produce each rod exactly 36 inches long. The lengths of the rods are normally distributed, and they vary slightly. It is known that when the machine is working properly, the mean length of the rods is 36 inches. The standard deviation of the lengths of all rods produced on this machine is always equal to .035 inch. The...
9.29 Lazurus Steel Corporation produces iron rods that are supposed to be 36 inches long. The machine that makes these rods does not produce each rod exactly 36 inches long. The lengths of the rods are approximately normally distributed and vary slightly. It is known that when the machine is working properly, the mean length of the rods is 36 inches. The standard deviation of the lengths of all rods produced on this machine is always equal to.035 inch. The...
4) The ABC Company has recently replaced a machine critical to their manufacturing process. The average time for a worker to complete a certain task using the old machine was 16 mins. The times to complete the task using the machine are normally distributed with standard deviation 9 mins. The company wants to test if the average time to complete the task using the new machine has changed (i.e., is different). To this end, they timed 25 workers using the...
ministrators at Ventura College are interested whether the average height of all students at v inches (5'6"). They use the survey data from Professor Friedman's classes. For this exercise, 18 students in Professor Friedman's classes are a good representation for height of all stu se the computer summary output below where the units are inches for the mean and a0.10 level that the mean height of Ventura College students is above 66 inches (5'6"). entura College is above ume that...
