::”‘7f’:!:’ tures stee I bars. I f the production process is
working properly, it turns oUi steel bars that are normally
distributed with mean length of at least 2.8 feet. Longer
steel bars can be used or altered. but shorter bars must
be scrapped. You select a sample of 25 bars; the mean
length is 2.73 feet, and the sample standard deviation is
0.20 foot.
a. If you test the null hypothesis at the 0.05 level of significance,
what decision do you make using the critical value
approach to hypothesis testing?
b. If you test the null hypothesis at the 0.05 level of significance,
what decision do you make using the p-value
approach to hypothesis testing?
c. Interpret the meaning of the p-value in this problem.
d. Compare your conclusions in (a) and (b)
