Testing of Hypothesis & Confidance Interval Lecture 27

The target thickness for silicon wafers is 245 mm. A sample of 50 wafers had a mean thickness of 246.18 mm and standard deviation of 3.60 mm. A z-test was conducted to determine if the true average thickness is different than the target. The z-score of 2.318 falls within the critical region so the null hypothesis that the true average is 245 mm is rejected. The 95% confidence interval for the true average thickness is calculated to be 219.73 mm to 272.63 mm.

Lecture 27

The target thickness for silicon wafers used in a certain type of


integrated circuit is 245 mm. A sample of 50 wafers is obtained and
the thickness of each one is determined, resulting in a sample mean
thickness of 246.18 mm and a sample standard deviation of 3.60 mm.
Does this data suggest that true average wafer thickness is
something other than the target value?

Step 1: Formulation of Hypothesis

Ho: µ = 245

H1: µ ≠ 245

Step 2: Level of Significance:

α = 5% =0.05

Step 3: Test Statistic to be Used

n = 50, X =246.18, S = 3.6

σ unknown & n >30

X−µ
Zcal = S
√n
Step 4: Computation
246.18−245
Zcal = 3.6 = 2.318
√50
Step 5: Critical region

If zcal < z α2 or zcal > z 1−α


2
we will reject Ho. (Two Tailed Test)

If zcal < z 0.05


2
or zcal > z 1−0.05
2
we will reject Ho.
If zcal < z 0.02 5 or zcal > z 0.97 5 we will reject Ho.

If zcal < −1.96 or zcal > 1.96 we will reject Ho.

Step 6: Conclusion

Zcal = 2.318 fall into the critical region. So we do not accept H o. We concluded that
µ ≠ 245.
