The mean breaking strength of a ceramic insulator must be at least 10 psi. The process by which this insulator is manufactured must show equivalence to this standard. If the process can manufacture insulators with a mean breaking strength of at least 9.4 psi, it will be considered equivalent to the standard. A random sample of 50 insulators is available, and the sample mean and standard deviation of breaking strength are 9.22 psi and 0.24 psi, respectively. a. State the appropriate hypotheses that must be tested to demonstrate equivalence.

H0 : u ≥ 10  against the claim Ha: u < 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean breaking strength of a ceramic insulator must be at least 10 psi.

(At least means greater or equal to ). As it is already given in the data the null and alternate hypotheses will be formulated according to it.

H0 : u ≥ 10  against the claim Ha: u < 10

The null hypothesis is the mean breaking strength of a ceramic insulator must be at least 10 psi

and the alternate hypothesis is

the mean breaking strength of a ceramic insulator is less than 10 psi

what's the question?

step-by-step explanation:

there is no question.
