A mixture of pulverized fuel ash and Portland cement to be used for grouting should have a compressive strength of more than 1300KN/m2. The mixture will not be used unless experimental evidence indicates conclusively that the strength specification has been met. Suppose compressive strength for specimens of this mixture is normally distributed with ?=60. Let ? denote the true average compressive strength. 1) What are the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses? (4 credits) 2) Let X? denote the sample average compressive strength for n=25 randomly selected specimens. Consider the test procedure with test statistic itself (not standardized). If X?=1340, should H0 be rejected using a significance level of 0.01? [Hint: What is the probability distribution of the test statistic when H0 is true?] (5 credits)

A mixture of pulverized fuel ash and Portland cement to be used for grouting should have a compressive strength of more than 1,300 KN/m2. The mixture will not be used unless experimental evidence indicates conclusively that the strength specification has been met. Suppose compressive strength for specimens of this mixture is normally distributed with 𝜎 = 69. Let 𝜇 denote the true average compressive strength. (b) Let X denote the sample average compressive strength for n = 11 randomly selected specimens. Consider the test procedure with test statistic X itself (not standardized). What is the probability distribution of the test statistic when H0 is true? If X = 1,340, find the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (c) What is the probability distribution of the test statistic when 𝜇 = 1,350 and n = 11? For a test with 𝛼 = 0.01, what is the probability that the mixture will be judged unsatisfactory when in fact 𝜇 = 1,350 (a type II error)? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

A mixture of pulverized fuel ash and Portland cement to be used for grouting should have a compressive strength of more than 1300 KN/m². The mixture will not be used unless experimental evidence indicates conclusively that the strength specification has been met. Suppose compressive strength for specimens of this mixture is normally distributed with σ = 60 KN/m². Let μ denote the true average compressive strength. What are the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses? Describe the type I and type II errors in the context of this problem. Let X̄ denote the sample mean compressive strength for n = 16 randomly selected specimens. Consider the test procedure that rejects the null hypothesis if X̄ ≥ 1330. What is the probability of the type I error? Using the test procedure of part (c), what is the probability that the mixture will be judged unsatisfactory when in fact μ = 1320 (i.e., the type II error when μ = 1320)?

A certain type of concrete mix is designed to withstand 3000 pounds per square inch (psi) of pressure. The strength of concrete is measured by pouring the mix into casting cylinders 6 inches in diameter and 12 inches tall. The cylinder is allowed to set up for 28 days. The cylinders are then stacked on one another until the cylinders are crushed. The following data represent the strength of nine randomly selected casts: 3960,4090,3200,3100,2940,3830,4090,4040,3780 Compute the range, sample variance, and sample standard deviation for strength of the concrete (in psì.
