4.8) a)
x ~ N(, ), n = 10, = 13.39618 1000 Å, s = 0.00391, 0 = 13.4 1000 Å, = 0.05
Test H0: = 13.4 vs. H1: 13.4. Reject H0 if |t0|>t/2.
(Equation 4.33)
t/2, n1 = t0.025, 9 = 2.262 (from Appendix IV)
Reject H0: = 13.4, and conclude that the mean thickness differs from 13.4 1000 Å.
b)
4.11) a)
Test H0: 1 2 = 0 vs. H1: 1 2 0. Reject H0 if |t0|>t/2, n1+n2-2.
c)
n1 = 7, = 1.383, s1 = 0.115; n2 = 8, = 1.376, s2 = 0.125, sP = 0.120
= 0.05, t/2, n1+n22 = t0.025, 13 = 2.160

Do not reject H0

4.12) a) Given: n=500, nonconforming=65, p₀=0.08, α=0.05 Sample proportion p̂ =65/500=0.13 z = (0.13-
0.08)/√[0.08(0.92)/500] = 4.12 Since 4.12 > 1.96 (critical value), reject H₀
4.13) (a) To test if the variances are equal, we use the F-test:
F = s1^2 / s2^2 = 6.79 / 6.79 = 1
Critical F-value (α=0.05, df1=9, df2=7) ≈ 3.68
Since F < F-critical, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. We can conclude that the variances are
equal at α=0.05.
(b) To test if the mean impurity has decreased, use a two-sample t-test:
t = (x̄ 1 - x̄ 2) / sqrt(sp^2 * (1/n1 + 1/n2))
where sp^2 = ((n1-1)s1^2 + (n2-1)s2^2) / (n1+n2-2)
Calculate t-statistic and compare to t-critical (α=0.05, df=16).
If t > t-critical, conclude that the new purification device has reduced the mean percentage of
impurity.
Reject H0 if Z0 < Z .
4.35) a) t₀ = 2.30
Checking t table: t₀.025 = 2.048 and t₀.01 = 2.763
Since 2.048 < 2.30 < 2.763
0.01 < P-value < 0.025
b) t₀ = 3.41
Checking t table: t₀.005 = 2.763 and t₀.0005 = 3.674
Since 2.763 < 3.41 < 3.674
0.0005 < P-value < 0.005
c) t₀ = 1.08
Checking t table: t₀.2 = 1.313 and t₀.1 = 1.701
Since 1.08 < 1.313
0.2 < P-value
d) t₀ = 1.55
Checking t table: t₀.1 = 1.313 and t₀.05 = 1.701
Since 1.313 < 1.55 < 1.701
0.05 < P-value < 0.1
