The valve was tested on 270 engines and the mean pressure was 6.6 lbs/square inch. Assume the variance is known to be 0.49. If the valve was designed to produce a mean pressure of 6.5 lbs/square inch, is there sufficient evidence at the 0.1 level that the valve does not perform to the specifications

The p value for this case would be given by"

For this case since the p value is higher than the significance level we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean is significantly different from 6.5 lbs/square inch at 10% of significance. So then there is not enough evidence to conclude that the valve does not perform to the specifications

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

represent the sample mean

represent the population deviation

sample size      

represent the value that we want to test    

represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic

represent the p value for the test

Hypothesis to verify

We want to verify if the true mean for this case is equal to 6.5 lbs/square inch or not , the system of hypothesis would be:      

Null hypothesis:      

Alternative hypothesis:      

The statistic for this case is given by:

(1)      

And replacing we got:

The p value for this case would be given by"

For this case since the p value is higher than the significance level we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean is significantly different from 6.5 lbs/square inch at 10% of significance. So then there is not enough evidence to conclude that the valve does not perform to the specifications
