The data in the Problem 5 worksheet of the “Data” file gives the average weight for a run of a particular product. The desired weight is 80.
a. Prove if this run is different from the desired weight (95% confidence level).
b. Assume you wish to design the test so that if the true weight differs from 80 by as much as 1, the test will detect this with a high probability (0.90). What is the minimum recommended sample size?
