Suppose a company makes skateboard wheels with a diameter of 64 mm. When the machine that manufactures the wheels is functioning properly, it produces wheels whose diameters are normally distributed with a mean of 64 mm and a standard deviation of 3.5 mm. The machine gets out of tolerance over time, and can produce wheels that have either a larger or smaller mean diameter. Therefore, quality control inspectors randomly select wheels and measure their diameters. A recent random sample of 49 wheels had a mean of 65 mm.

Represent the p-value of the sample results.

Step-by-step explanation:

We would set up the hypothesis test. This is a test of a single population mean since we are dealing with mean

For the null hypothesis,

µ = 64

For the alternative hypothesis,

µ ≠ 64

This is a two tailed test.

Since the population standard deviation is given, z score would be determined from the normal distribution table. The formula is

z = (x - µ)/(σ/√n)

Where

x = sample mean

µ = population mean

σ = population standard deviation

n = number of samples

From the information given,

µ = 64

x = 65

σ = 3.5

n = 49

z = (65 - 64)/(3.5/√49) = 2

Recall, population mean is 64

The difference between sample sample mean and population mean is 65 - 64 = 1

Since the curve is symmetrical and it is a two tailed test, the x value for the left tail is 64 - 1 = 63

the x value for the right tail is 64 + 1 = 65

These means are higher and lower than the null mean. Thus, they are evidence in favour of the alternative hypothesis. We will look at the area in both tails. Since it is showing in one tail only, we would double the area. The probability value for the area above the z score from the normal distribution table is 1 - 0.97725 = 0.02275

We would double this area to include the area in the left tail of z = - 2. Thus

p = 0.02275 × 2 = 0.0455

in if you ask questions, the points are taken from your total and given to the one who answered it..

so if i have 30 points and i ask a question for 5 points, then when someone asks a question i will lose 5 points and the answerer earns 5

happy to

what is the rest of the question? ?
