The strength of steel wire made by an existing process is normally distributed with a mean of 1550 and a standard deviation of 170. A batch of wire is made by a new process, and a random sample consisting of 25 measurements gives an average strength of 1316. Assume that the standard deviation does not change. Is there evidence at the 1% level of significance that the new process gives a larger mean strength than the old? To answer this question, the alternative hypothesis could be stated as A. µ = 1550 psi B. µ > 1550 psi C. µ ≠ 1550 psi D. µ < 1550 psi

Question
2. The strength of steel wire made by an existing process is normally distributed with a mean of 1550 and a standard deviation of 170. A batch of wire is made by a new process, and a random sample consisting of 25 measurements gives an average strength of 1316. Assume that the standard deviation does not change. Is there evidence at the 1% level of significance that the new process gives a larger mean strength than the old? To answer this question, the alternative hypothesis could be stated as A. µ = 1550 psi B. µ > 1550 psi C. µ ≠ 1550 psi D. µ < 1550 psi
