4.8) a)
x ~ N(, ), n = 10, = 13.39618 1000 Å, s = 0.00391, 0 = 13.4 1000 Å, = 0.05
Test H0: = 13.4 vs. H1: 13.4. Reject H0 if |t0|>t/2.
(Equation 4.33)
t/2, n1 = t0.025, 9 = 2.262 (from Appendix IV)
Reject H0: = 13.4, and conclude that the mean thickness differs from 13.4 1000 Å.
b)
4.9) n = ( Z_(α/2) × σ / (W/2) )^2
n = ( 1.96 × 4 / 1/2 )^2 = ( 7.84 / 0.5 )^2 = (15.68)^2 = 245.47
4.11) a)
Test H0: 1 2 = 0 vs. H1: 1 2 0. Reject H0 if |t0|>t/2, n1+n2-2.
b) The practical implication of this test is that any technician can measure the parts, as the readings
will be consistent. If the null hypothesis had been rejected, it would indicate differences in
measurements, warranting an investigation to determine the cause.
c)
n1 = 7, = 1.383, s1 = 0.115; n2 = 8, = 1.376, s2 = 0.125, sP = 0.120
= 0.05, t/2, n1+n22 = t0.025, 13 = 2.160

Do not reject H0

4.12) a) Given: n=500, nonconforming=65, p₀=0.08, α=0.05 Sample proportion p̂ =65/500=0.13 z = (0.13-
0.08)/√[0.08(0.92)/500] = 4.12 Since 4.12 > 1.96 (critical value), reject H₀
4.13) (a) To test if the variances are equal, we use the F-test:
F = s1^2 / s2^2 = 6.79 / 6.79 = 1
Critical F-value (α=0.05, df1=9, df2=7) ≈ 3.68
Since F < F-critical, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. We can conclude that the variances are
equal at α=0.05.
(b) To test if the mean impurity has decreased, use a two-sample t-test:
t = (x̄ 1 - x̄ 2) / sqrt(sp^2 * (1/n1 + 1/n2))
where sp^2 = ((n1-1)s1^2 + (n2-1)s2^2) / (n1+n2-2)
Calculate t-statistic and compare to t-critical (α=0.05, df=16).
If t > t-critical, conclude that the new purification device has reduced the mean percentage of
impurity.
Reject H0 if Z0 < Z .
4.35) a) t₀ = 2.30
Checking t table: t₀.025 = 2.048 and t₀.01 = 2.763
Since 2.048 < 2.30 < 2.763
0.01 < P-value < 0.025
b) t₀ = 3.41
Checking t table: t₀.005 = 2.763 and t₀.0005 = 3.674
Since 2.763 < 3.41 < 3.674
0.0005 < P-value < 0.005
c) t₀ = 1.08
Checking t table: t₀.2 = 1.313 and t₀.1 = 1.701
Since 1.08 < 1.313
0.2 < P-value
d) t₀ = 1.55
Checking t table: t₀.1 = 1.313 and t₀.05 = 1.701
Since 1.313 < 1.55 < 1.701
0.05 < P-value < 0.1
