CHAPTER 9 Section 9-1 9-1 a) 25:,25: 10 ≠= µµ HH 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) 10:,10: 10 => σσ HH No, because the inequality is in the null hypothesis.

c) 50:,50: 10 ≠= xHxH No, because the hypothesis is stated in terms of the statistic rather than the parameter. d) 3.0:,1.0: 10 == pHpH No, the values in the null and alternative hypotheses do not match and both of the hypotheses are equality statements. e) 30:,30: 10 >= sHsH 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) nmHnmH 20:,20: 10 <= σσ

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) NewtonsHNewtonsH 25:,25: 10 <= µµ

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.

what we are trying to demonstrate in the alternative hypothesis. Assume that the data follow a normal distribution. b) 1) the parameter of interest is the mean weld strength, µ. 2) H0 : µ = 150 3) H1 : µ > 150 4) The test statistic is:

P-value = P(t > 1.46) = 0.05 < P-value < 0.10 7) There is some modest evidence to support the claim that the weld strength exceeds 150 psi.

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 150 psi.

a) In order to use t statistics in hypothesis testing, we need to assume that the underlying distribution is normal. Use the t-test to test the hypothesis that the true mean is 2.5 mg/L. 1) State the parameter of interest: The parameter of interest is the true mean dissolved oxygen level, µ.
