The calibration of a scale is to be checked by weighing a 13 kg test specimen 25 times. Suppose that the results of different weighings are independent of one another and that the weight on each trial is normally distributed with Sigma = 0.200 kg. Let µ denote the true average weight reading on the scale. Required:
a. What hypotheses should be tested?
b. With the sample mean itself as the test statistic, what is the P-value?

Solution :

a).

Given : Number of times, n = 25

            Sigma, σ = 0.200 kg

            Weight, μ = 13 kg

Therefore the hypothesis should be tested are :

b). When the value of

 Test statics :

          = 45.5  

P-value = 2 x P(Z > 45.5)

            = 2 x 1 -P (Z < 45.5) = 0

Reject the null hypothesis if P value  < α = 0.01 level of significance.

So reject the null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that the true mean measured weight differs from 13 kg.

$8

step-by-step explanation:

it is pretty much backwards.

you take the 4x2 multiply that, and that is = $8

no ,sorry if you needed it but you can ask and try to see if any one will anwser ,

by good luck mark me as brainliest

have a nice day
