    Answer On Question #78834 - Math - Statistics and Probability

    Uploaded by

    Mick Reposar
    The document summarizes a statistics question about testing whether a new manufacturing technique increases the breaking strength of cables. It provides that cables normally have a mean breaking strength of 1800kg with a standard deviation of 100kg. A sample of 50 cables produced with the new technique had a mean of 1850kg. The solution uses a z-test to determine if this difference supports that the new technique increases breaking strength at the 0.01 significance level. It calculates a z-score of 3.54 which exceeds the critical value of 2.33, so it rejects the null hypothesis and concludes that the new technique improves breaking strength in 3 or less sentences.

    Answer on Question #78834 – Math – Statistics and Probability

    Question

    The breaking strengths of cables produced by manufacturer have a mean of 1800 Kg and a standard
    deviation of 100 Kg. by a new technique in the manufacturing process, it is claimed that breaking
    strength can be increased. To test this claim, a sample of 50 cables is tested and it is found that the
    mean breaking strength is 1850Kg. can we support the claim at the 0.01 significance level?

    Solution

    We need check the hypothesis

    𝐻0 : 𝜇 = 1800 𝑣𝑠. 𝐻𝑎 : 𝜇 > 1800

    We use the z-test (𝑛 > 30):

    𝜇 − 𝜇0 1850 − 1800
    𝑧0 = = ≈ 3.54
    𝜎/√𝑛 100/√50

    𝑧𝑐𝑟 = 𝑧0.99 = 2.33

    Since 𝑧0 > 𝑧𝑐𝑟 then we reject 𝐻0 and we conclude that a new technique can improve the break
    strength.

    Answer: we reject 𝐻0 and we conclude that a new technique can improve the break strength.
