Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze the provided image and break it into steps for solving the hypothesis testing problem.
(a) State the null and alternative hypotheses:
The hypotheses are:
- (The mean assembly time for Process 2 does not exceed Process 1.)
- (The mean assembly time for Process 2 exceeds Process 1.)
(b) Determine the type of test statistic to use:
Since the population standard deviation is not provided and we are comparing means based on paired samples, we use a t-test for paired samples.
(c) Find the value of the test statistic:
To calculate the t-statistic:
-
Compute the differences ():
-
Calculate the sample mean of the differences ():
-
Calculate the sample standard deviation of the differences ():
-
Compute the t-statistic:
(d) Find the critical value at the 0.05 level of significance:
- Degrees of freedom ().
- Use the t-distribution table or calculator for a one-tailed test at .
(e) Decision:
- Compare the calculated t-statistic with the critical t-value.
- If , reject ; otherwise, fail to reject .
