The desired percentage of SiO2 in a certain type of aluminous cement is 5.5. To test whether the true average percentage is 5.5 for a particular production facility, 16 independently obtained samples are analyzed. Suppose that the percentage of SiO2 in a sample is normally distributed with σ = 0.32 and that x = 5.23. (Use α = 0.05.)
(b) If the true average percentage is μ = 5.6 and a level α = 0.01 test based on n = 16 is used, what is the probability of detecting this departure from H0? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
