A spectrophotometer used for measuring CO concentration (ppm (parts per million) by volume) is checked for accuracy by taking readings on a manufactured gas (called span gas) in which the CO concentration is very precisely controlled at \(70ppm\). If the readings suggest that the spectrophotometer is not working properly, it will have to be recalibrated. Assume that if it is properly calibrated, measured concentration for span gas samples is normally distributed. On the basis of the six readings \(85,{\rm{ }}77,{\rm{ }}82,{\rm{ }}68,{\rm{ }}72,\) and \(69\) is recalibration necessary? Carry out a test of the relevant hypotheses using a \(\alpha = .05\).

Short Answer

Expert verified

The average CO concentration is at \(70ppm\) is not supported by appropriate evidence.

Step by step solution

01

Define p-value in hypothesis testing.

The null hypothesis states that the population mean is equal to the value mentioned in the claim. If the null hypothesis is the claim, then the alternative hypothesis states the opposite of the null hypothesis.

\(\begin{array}{l}{H_0}:\mu = 0\\{H_a}:\mu \ne 0\end{array}\)

The formula for the value of the test statistic is given by, \(t = \frac{{\bar x - {\mu _0}}}{{s/\sqrt n }}\).

02

Test the appropriate hypothesis.

The mean is the ration of sum of all values and the total number of values.

\(\begin{aligned}{c}\bar x &= \frac{{85 + 77 + 82 + 68 + 72 + 69}}{6}\\ &= \frac{{453}}{6}\\ &\approx 75.5\end{aligned}\)

The square of the variance is the standard deviation.

\(\begin{aligned}{c}s &= \sqrt {\frac{{{{(85 - 75.5)}^2} + \ldots . + {{(69 - 75.5)}^2}}}{{6 - 1}}} \\ &\approx 7.0071\end{aligned}\)

Let the given be:

\(\begin{array}{l}n = 6\\\alpha = 0.05\end{array}\)

Claim that the average CO concentration is at\(70ppm\).

The value of the test statistic:

\(\begin{aligned}{c}t &= \frac{{\bar x - {\mu _0}}}{{s/\sqrt n }}\\ &= \frac{{75.5 - 70}}{{7.0071/\sqrt 6 }}\\ &\approx 1.923\end{aligned}\)

The P-value is the chance of getting the test statistic's result, or a number that is more severe. The P-value is the number (or interval) in the column header of the T table in the appendix that contains the t-value in the row\(\begin{array}{c}df = n - 1\\ = 6 - 1\\ = 5\end{array}\)for the student.

\(0.10 = 2 \times 0.05 < P < 2 \times 0.10 = 0.20\)

As the P-value is smaller than the significance level, so the null hypothesis is rejected.

\(P > 0.05 \Rightarrow Fail to Reject {H_0}\)

The average CO concentration is at \(70ppm\) is not supported by appropriate evidence.

Verify that the piecewise-defined function \(y = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{r}}{ - {x^2},}&{x < 0}\\{{x^2},}&{x \ge 0}\end{array}} \right.\) is a solution of the differential equation \(xy' - 2y = 0\) on \(( - \infty ,\infty )\).

Lightbulbs of a certain type are advertised as having an average lifetime of 750 hours. The price of these bulbs is very favorable, so a potential customer has decided to go ahead with a purchase arrangement unless it can be conclusively demonstrated that the true average lifetime is smaller than what is advertised. A random sample of 50 bulbs was selected, the lifetime of each bulb determined, and the appropriate hypotheses were tested using Minitab, resulting in the accompanying output.

Variable N Mean StDev SE Mean Z P-Value

Lifetime 50 738.44 38.20 5.40 -2.14 0.016

What conclusion would be appropriate for a significance level of .05? A significance level of .01? What significance level and conclusion would you recommend?

The recommended daily dietary allowance for zinc among males older than age 50 years is 15 mg/day. The article 鈥淣utrient Intakes and Dietary Patterns of Older Americans: A National Study鈥 (J. of Gerontology, 1992: M145鈥150) reports the following summary data on intake for a sample of males age 65鈥74 years: n = 115, \(\overline x = 11.3\), and s = 6.43. Does this data indicate that average daily zinc intake in the population of all males ages 65鈥74 falls below the recommended allowance?

Pairs of P-values and significance levels, 伪, are given.

For each pair, state whether the observed P-value would lead to rejection of H0 at the given significance level.

a.P颅-value = .084, 伪= .05

b.P颅-value = .003, 伪= .001

c.P-颅value = .498, 伪= .05

d.P-颅value = .084, 伪= .10

e.P-颅value = .039, 伪= .01

f.P-颅value = .218, 伪 = .10

In Problems \(11 - 14\) verify that the indicated function is an explicit solution of the given differential equation. Assume an appropriate interval I of definition for each solution.
