Math Problem Statement
An electronics manufacturing process has historically had a mean completion time of 70 minutes. It is claimed that, due to improvements in the process, the mean completion time,, is now less than 70 minutes. A random sample of 19 completion times using the new process is taken. The sample has a mean completion time of 65 minutes, with a standard deviation of 12 minutes.
Assume that completion times using the new process are approximately normally distributed. At the 0.10 level of significance, can it be concluded that the population mean completion time using the new process is less than 70 minutes?
Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. (a)State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1. (b)Determine the type of test statistic to use. (c)Find the value of the test statistic. (Round to three or more decimal places.) (d)Find the critical value. (Round to three or more decimal places.) (e)Can it be concluded that the mean completion time using the new process is less than 70 minutes?
