Section 9-1
9-1 a) H 0 : µ = 25, H1 : µ ≠ 25 Yes, because the hypothesis is stated in terms of the parameter of
interest, inequality is in the alternative hypothesis, and the value in the null and alternative
hypotheses matches.
b) H 0 : σ > 10, H1 : σ = 10 No, because the inequality is in the null hypothesis.
c) H 0 : x = 50, H1 : x ≠ 50 No, because the hypothesis is stated in terms of the statistic rather
than the parameter.

d) H 0 : p = 0.1, H1 : p = 0.3 No, the values in the null and alternative hypotheses do not match and
both of the hypotheses are equality statements.

e) H 0 : s = 30, H1 : s > 30 No, because the hypothesis is stated in terms of the statistic rather than the
parameter.
9-2 The conclusion does not provide strong evidence that the critical dimension mean equals 100nm. There
is not sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis.
9-3 a) H 0 : σ = 25 nm, H1 : σ < 25 nm
b) This result does not provide strong evidence that the standard deviation has not been reduced. There
is insufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis but this is not strong support for the null
hypothesis.
9-4 a) H 0 : µ = 30 newtons, H1 : µ < 30 newtons
b) No, this result only implies that we do not have enough evidence to support H1.

9-7 The critical values of x are 12 ± Zα 0.5 / n . For the one-sided test with X ≤ 12, we obtain
a) α = 0.01, n = 5, from Table III −2.33 = zα and X ≤ 11.48

b) α = 0.05, n = 5, from Table III −1.65 = zα and X ≤ 11.63

9-8 a) β = P( X > 11.59|µ = 11.5) = P(Z > 0.36) = 1 − 0.6406 = 0.3594

The probability of accepting the null hypothesis when it is actually false is smaller in part (c) because
the true mean, µ = 105, is further from the acceptance region. There is a greater difference between the
true mean and the hypothesized mean.

t0 = 1.905 with df = 10 – 1 = 9. The P-value falls between two values: 1.833 (for α = 0.05) and 2.262
(for α = 0.025), so 0.05 = 2(0.025) < P-value < 2(0.05) = 0.1. The P-value > α = 0.05 so we fail to
reject the null hypothesis at the 0.05 level of significance.

reject the null hypothesis at the 0.05 level of significance.
f) Reject the null hypothesis that the µ = 11.5 versus the alternative hypothesis (µ ≠ 11.5) at the 0.05

7) Because 0.6665 < 2.056 we fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is not sufficient evidence to
conclude that the true mean body weight differs from 300 at α = 0.05. We have 2*0.25 < P-value <
2*0.4. That is, 0.5 < P-value < 0.8
b) We can reject the null hypothesis if P-value < α. The P-value = 2*0.2554 = 0.5108. Therefore, the

Also, 2*0.4 < P-value < 2* 0.5. That is, 0.8 < P-value < 1.0

7) Because 0.716 < 2.064 we fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is not sufficient evidence that the
true mean sodium content is different from 130mg at α = 0.05.
From the t table (Table V) the t0 value is between the values of 0.1 and 0.25 with 24 degrees of

assume that the underlying distribution is normal.

7) Because 0.27 < 30.14 fail to reject H0. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the true
variance of performance time content exceeds 0.752 at α = 0.05.
Because χ20 = 0.27 the P-value > 0.995
b) The 95% one-sided confidence interval given below includes the value 0.75. Therefore, we are not

significantly different from 0.25 at α = 0.01.
P-value/2 < 0.005, then P-value < 0.01
b) 95% confidence interval for σ:
First find the confidence interval for σ2 :
For α = 0.05 and n = 51, χα2 / 2, n −1 = χ 0.025,50

Taking the square root of the endpoints of this interval we obtain, 0.31 < σ < 0.46
Because 0.25 falls below the lower confidence bound we would conclude that the population standard

7. Conclusion: fail to reject H0. The P-value = 1 – Φ(0.58) = 1 – 0.7190 = 0.281. There is not enough
evidence to conclude that the median compressive strength is greater than 2250.
9-115 a)
1) The parameter of interest is the mean ball diameter
2) H0: µ0 = 0.265
3) H0: µ0 ≠ 0.265
4) w = min(w+, w−)
5) Reject H0 if w ≤ w0.05, n = 9 = 5 for α = 0.05
*
6) The data are ranked from the smallest to the largest value. Usually zeros are dropped from the
ranking and the sample size is reduced. In the case of a tie, the ranks are added and divided by the
number of tries. For example, in these data, there are two instances of the difference 0.001. The ranks
corresponding to this value are 1 and 2. The sum of the ranks is 3. After dividing by the number of ties,
We set a mean of 1.5 and this value is assigned to both. The sum of the positive ranks is w+ = (1.5 +
1.5 + 4.5 + 4.5 + 4.5 + 7.5 + 7.5 + 9) = 40.5. There is only one negative rank w− = 4.5. Therefore, w =
min(40.5, 4.5) = 4.5.

diameter is 0.265 at the 0.05 level of significance. Also, the P-value = 2[1 – P(Z0 < 2.132) ] = 0.033.

Therefore, place what we are trying to demonstrate in the alternative hypothesis.
Assume that the data follow a normal distribution.

3) H1 : µ > 1035
4) The test statistic is:

7) There is some modest evidence to support the claim that the weld strength exceeds 1035 kN/m2.
If we used α = 0.01 or 0.05, we would fail to reject the null hypothesis, thus the claim would not be
supported. If we used α = 0.10, we would reject the null in favor of the alternative and conclude the
weld strength exceeds 1035 kN/m2.

b) Although the sample standard deviation is less than the hypothesized value of 0.00003, it is not
significantly less (when α = 0.01) than 0.00003. The value of 0.00001 could have occurred as a result
of sampling variation.

7) Conclusion: The P-value is approximately 0. Therefore we reject the null hypothesis and conclude
that the standard deviation of the concentration is less than 4 grams per liter.

that the true mean concentration of suspended solids is less than 50 ppm at α = 0.05.
b) P-value = Φ (6.12) ≅ 1

the true mean coefficient of restitution is greater than 0.635 at α = 0.01.
b) P-value Φ (5.31) ≅ 1
c) If the lower bound of the CI was above the value 0.635 then we could conclude that the mean

3.265 − 2.5
t0 = = 1.608
2.127 / 20
7) Because 1.608 < 2.093 fail to reject the null hypotheses. The true mean is not significantly different
from 2.5 mg/L.
c) The value of 1.608 is found between the columns of 0.05 and 0.1 of Table V.
Therefore, 0.1 < P-value < 0.2. Minitab provides a value of 0.124
d) The confidence interval found in Exercise 8-81 (b) agrees with the hypothesis test above. The value of
2.5 is within the 95% confidence limits. The confidence interval shows that the interval is quite wide due

From Table V the t0 value in absolute value is greater than the value corresponding to 0.0005 with

7) The P-value is greater than a common significance level α (such as 0.05). Therefore, we fail to
reject the null hypothesis. There is insufficient evidence to support the claim that the standard
deviation is less than 20 microamps.

The P-value is less than 0.05. Therefore we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the standard
deviation is significantly less than 20 microamps.
c) Increasing the sample size increases the test statistic χ 02 and therefore decreases the P-value,
providing more evidence against the null hypothesis.

7) Because 1.202 < 1.65 fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is insufficient evidence to indicate that
the true mean number of open circuits is greater than 2 at α = 0.01.

2) H0: σ = 10

7) Because 2.93 > −1.65 fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is insufficient evidence to conclude
that the true standard deviation is less than 10 at α = 0.05.
b) 95% percentile: θ = µ + 1.645σ
95% percentile estimator: θˆ = X + 1.645S

From the independence
SE (θˆ ) ≅ σ 2 / n + 1.6452 σ 2 /(2n)
The statistic S can be used as an estimator for σ in the standard error formula.
c) 1) The parameter of interest is the true 95th percentile of the golf ball distance θ.
2) H0: θ = 260
3) H1: θ < 260

7) Because −1.283 < −1.65 reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the
true θ is less than 285 at α = 0.05.

The one-sided hypotheses below can also be tested with the derived test statistic as follows:
