Q1:
= 2 psi
= 127 psi
n = 8 fibers
a) Ans: for 0 = 125 & = 0.05

Null Hypothesis H0 : = 125

Alternative Hypothesis H1 : > 125

In this case we will Reject H0 if Z0 > Z.

0 127125
0 = = = 2.828
28

Since = 0.05 then Z = Z0.05 = 1.645 ( from the Z-table ) Then Z0 > Z.

The Null Hypothesis H0: = 125 is rejected and as a result of that we can conclude that the mean tensile
strength exceeds 125 psi.

b) Ans:
P-value = 1 (Z0) = 1 (2.828)
(2.828) 0.9977 P-value = 1 0.9977 = 0.0023

Therefore H0: = 125 would be rejected at any significance level 0.0023.

c) Because the one-sided hypothesis test will enable us to check if the minimum requirements for the
tensile strength of a fiber have been met or not, which is one of the important issues in the strength
tests.

d) Lower confidence interval = ()

Since its 95% Lower confidence interval then = 0.05 Z = Z0.05 = 1.645 ( from the Z-table )

95% Lower confidence interval = 127 1.645(28) 125.837

To verify our answers we used Minitab: Stat > Basic Statistics > 1-Sample Z > Summarized data

Q2: n= 10 , the data with normal distribution x ~ N(, )
25.5, 26.1, 26.8, 23.2, 24.2, 28.4, 25.0, 27.8, 27.3, and 25.7

a) 0 = 25; = 0.05
Now we will use the Hypothesis test as follows:

Null Hypothesis H0 : = 25
Alternative Hypothesis H1 : > 25
In this case we will Reject H0 if t0 > t, n-1.

x 0 26.0 25
= = = .
sn 1.62510
And since = 0.05 and its one- tail then :
t, n1 = t0.05, 101 = 1.833 ( from the t-table)

Then t0 > t, n-1 which means; The Null Hypothesis H0: = 25 is rejected and as a result of that we can
conclude that the mean life exceeds 25 h.

Now by using Minitab: Stat > Basic Statistics > 1-Sample t > one or more Samples each in columns:

b) 90% two-sided confidence interval = 0.10

We can find it by using the following formula:

x t ,n1 S/n x + t ,n1 S/n

2 2
26 1.833(1.625/10) 26 + 1.833(1.625/10)

Now by using Minitab: Stat > Basic Statistics > 1-Sample t > one or more Samples each in columns:

Figure 1. Probability plot of

battery service life

It can be clearly seen that all the points almost fall along a straight line which means that the
assumption that the battery life is normally distributed is fit and suitable.

Q3:
As the data is normally distributed, n=10, x = 26, S= 1.625

And 95% lower confidence interval = 0.05 t, n1 = t0.05, 9 = 1.833 ( from the t-table)

x t ,n1 (S/n ) 26 1.833(1.625/10) .

Because the one-sided confidence interval (lower confidence interval) tells the manufacturer that the
mean battery life is likely to be at least 25.06 hours, and that will be very important information when
the manufacturer establishes the warranty policy.

Q4:

Variance 2 = 9 Standard deviation = 3

rue mean = 20
Probability of type II error 0.1
= 0.05, 0 = 15
The Hypothesis test as follows:

Null Hypothesis H0 : = 15

Alternative Hypothesis H1 : 15

To find the probability of type II error , we must assume that the null hypothesis H0 : = 15 is false .
Suppose that the mean of the distribution is really 1 = 0 + where > 0
Then : = 1 0 = 20 15 = 5
And to use the operating-characteristic (OC) curves to find the sample size n we need to find d
= || = 53 = 1.67

Now by using the operating-characteristic (OC) curves for two-sided at = 0.05, we can find the sample
size n 4

To verify that, we will use the following formula:

= (/2 ) (/2 ) Since /2 = 0.05/2 = 0.025 = 1.96

= (1.96 5 43) (1.96 5 43) = (1.3733) (5.2933)

(1.3733) 0 1 0.9147 = . Which is less than 0.1
