Lazurus steel corporation produces iron rods that are supposed to be 36 inches long. the machine that makes these rods does not produce each rod exactly 36 inches long. the lengths of the rods
are normally distributed, and they vary slightly. it is known that when the machine is working properly, the mean length of the rods is 36 inches. the standard deviation of the lengths of all rods produced on this machine is always equal to .035 inch. the quality control department at the company takes a sample of 20 such rods every week, calculates the mean length of these rods, and tests the null
hypothesis, /.l 36 inches, against the alternative hypothesis, # 36 inches. if the null hypothesis is rejected, the machine is stopped and adjusted. a recent sample of 20 rods produced a mean length of
36.015 inches.

a. calculate the p-value for this test of hypothesis. based on this p-value, will the quality control inspector decide to stop the machine and adjust it if he chooses the maximum probability of a type i error to be .02? what if the maximum probability of a type i error is .10?
b. test the hypothesis of part a using the critical-value approach and .02. does the machine
need to be adjusted? what if α = 0.10?

The management of a supermarket wants to adopt a new promotional policy of giving a free gift to every customer who spends more than a certain amount per visit at this supermarket. the expectation of the management is that after this promotional policy is advertised, the expenditures for all customers at this supermarket will be normally distributed with a mean of $95 and a standard deviation of $20. if the management wants to give free gifts to at most 10% of the customers, what should the amount be above which a customer would receive a free gift?
