An engineer who is studying the tensile strength of a steel alloy intended for use in golf club shafts knows that tensile strength is approximately normally distributed with standard deviation 60 psi. A random sample of 12 specimens has a mean tensile strength of `bar x \=3450` psi. Test the hypothesis that mean strength is 3500 psi. Use `\alpha \=0.01`. Let `z_0.005\=2.58`; `z_0.1\=1.29`.

Question

Answer

Reject the null hypothesis and conclude the true mean tensile stength is significantly different from 3500 at `\alpha =0.01`.

Answer

Do not reject the null hypothesis and conclude the true mean tensile stength is significantly different from 3500 at `\alpha =0.01`.
