Module 5 Assignment
Question 1: A. The null hypothesis is that the new machine is able to produce cookies with a mean of 70 pounds according to the specification from the manufacture. The alternative hypothesis is that the new machine is not able to produce cookies with a mean of 70 pounds according to the specification from the manufacture. B. To determine if the machine is not meeting the manufacturer's specifications for average strength, I used the test statistic formula to give me the result. The result is -1.8 based on the formula: z = (69.1 - 70) / (3.5 / sqrt(49)) = -1.8 Here is the code in R: C. The equation that I used to compute the p-value was: 2 * (1-pnorm(abs(test_statistic))) The p-value is .07186064 and since the p-value is greater than the alpha value, the null hypothesis is not rejected since there is not enough evidence that the new machine is not meeting the manufacturer's specifications. D. If the standard deviation was 1.75 pounds, then the new z-score is -3.6. This puts th...
