An industrial supplier has shipped a truckload of teflon lubricant cartridges to an aerospace customer. The customer has been assured that the mean weight of these cartridges is in excess of the 12 ounces printed on each cartridge. To check this claim, a sample of n = 15 cartridges are randomly selected from the shipment and carefully weighed. Summary statistics for the sample are: x = 12.13 ounces, s = .30 ounce. To determine whether the supplier\'s claim is true, consider the test, H0: = 12 vs. Ha: > 12, where is the true mean weight of the cartridges. Find the rejection region for the test using =0.01

Solution

As

t = (X - uo) / (s/ sqrt(n))

t = 1.6783

The rejection region for this test is t > 2.6245.

Thus, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

The claim of the supplier is not true that the mean exceeds 12 ounces. [CONCLUSION]
