    Question

    (1)

    Jamestown Steel Company manufactures and assembles desks and other office equipment
    at several plants in Western New York state. The weekly production of the model A325 desk
    at the Fredonia Plant follows a normal probability distribution with a mean of 200 and a
    standard deviation of 16. Recently because of the market expansion, new production
    methods have been introduced and new employees hired. The vice president of the
    manufacturing would like to investigate whether there has been a change in the weekly
    production of the model A325 desk. The mean number of desk produced last 50 weeks is
    203.5. Is the mean number of desks produced at the Fredonia Plant different from 200 at the
    0.01 significance level?

    (a) Write appropriate null and alternative hypothesis to test whether the mean number of
    desks produced at the Fredonia Plant different from 200 or not.

    (b) Conduct the appropriate test for the above hypothesis in part (a) and write your decision
    based on your findings.

    Expert Answer

    This solution was written by a subject matter expert. It's designed to help students like you
    learn core concepts.

    Step-by-step

    1st step

    All steps

    Answer only

    Step 1/4
    Given :

    Sample size, n = 50
    Sample mean, $$\mathrm{\bar{x}} $$ = 203.5

    Population standard deviation, $$\sigma$$ = 16

    Population mean, $$\mathrm{\mu}$$ = 200

    Significance level, $$\mathrm{\alpha}$$ = 0.01


    Step 2/4

    a) Claim: the mean number of desks produced at the Fredonia Plant is different from 200.

    Hypothesis test :

    The null and alternative hypothesis is

    H : 𝜇 = 200
    0

    H : 𝜇 ≠ 200
    a

    Explanation:

    The hypothesis test is a two tailed test

    Step 3/4
    b) Test statistic :

    $$\small{
    ¯
    x−𝜇
    z =
    𝜎
    √n

    203.5−200
    =
    16
    √50

    = 1.55
    }$$
    The test statistic is 1.55

    P-value :

    P-value with test statistic z = 1.55 is

    $$\small{
    p-value = 0.1211
    Excel formula : = 2 × (1-NORM.DIST(ABS(1.55),0,1,TRUE))
    }$$

    P-value is 0.1211
    Step 4/4

    Since P-value is greater than significance level, $$\alpha$$ = 0.01 ,we failed to reject the null
    hypothesis

    Decision is fail to reject $$\mathrm{H_{0}}$$

    Conclusion :

    Fail to reject Ho. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean number of desks
    produced at the Fredonia Plant is different from 200.

    Explanation:

    Decision rule :

    If p-value $$ \le \alpha $$, reject the null hypothesis ( $$\mathrm{ H_{0}}$$ )

    If p-value > $$\alpha $$, Do not reject the null hypothesis ( $$\mathrm{ H_{0}}$$ )

    Final answer

    a)Hypothesis test :
    The null and alternative hypothesis is

    H : 𝜇 = 200
    0

    Ha : 𝜇 ≠ 200

    b)

    Fail to reject Ho. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean number of desks
    produced at the Fredonia Plant is different from 200.
