Question

An engineer has designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The valve was tested on 280 engines and the mean pressure was 6.5 pounds/square inch (psi). Assume the population variance is 0.64. If the valve was designed to produce a mean pressure of 6.6 psi, is there sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level that the valve does not perform to the specifications?

Step 1 of 6: State the null and alternative hypotheses.

Step 2 of 6: Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Step 3 of 6: Specify if the test is one-tailed or two-tailed.

Step 4 of 6: Find the P-value of the test statistic. Round your answer to four decimal places.

Step 5 of 6: Identify the level of significance for the hypothesis test.

Step 6 of 6: Make the decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.
