An engineer designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The engineer designed the valve such that it would produce a mean pressure of 5.9 pounds/square inch. It is believed that the valve performs above the specifications. The valve was tested on 270 engines and the mean pressure was 6.0 pounds/square inch. Assume the variance is known to be 0.49. A level of significance of 0.02 will be used. Determine the decision rule. Enter the decision rule.
From the given information,
Using calculator,
Test statistic=3.3534
Critical value=2.326
Decision Rule:-
Reject null hypothesis if test statistic is greater than critical value.
Hence,
As test statistic is greater than critical value, hence we have to Reject the null hypothesis at 2% level of significance.
Decision:-
Reject the null hypothesis.
