Module 5. T-Test One Sample Test

The document is an assignment on performing a t-test to analyze two different data sets. The first analyzes data from a paint supplier measuring can volumes, finding the average volume is equal to 1 gallon. The second analyzes steel bar length data from a manufacturer, finding the average length is equal to the required 3 feet. Both analyses use a t-test to compare the sample means to hypothesized values and reject or fail to reject the null hypotheses at given significance levels, leading to conclusions about the production processes.

Read, understand, and analyse carefully the given situations. Work on the problem and follow
the step-by-step procedure in problem solving -- from null hypothesis to
recommendation. Round off to three decimal places.

1. The manager of a paint supply store would want to know if the content of a 1 gallon
can of paint bought from a known paint producer is actually 1 gallon. As such, he
randomly sampled 60 cans of paint and it yielded an average of 0.998 gallon with
standard deviation of .04 gallon. At a .01 level of significance, is the average content
of a one gallon can of paint is less than 1 gallon?

Null hypothesis: The average content of a one gallon can of paint is higher than or equal to 1
gallon.

Alternative hypothesis: The average content of a one gallon can of paint is less than 1 gallon

Level of Significance: 0.01 (one tail)

Degree of Freedom = n-1 = 60-1 = 59

T-test critical: - 2.391, The critical value is negative, left tail (less)

Normal Curve: left

Decision rule:

Reject null hypothesis if T < - 2.391 ;otherwise, do not reject the null hypothesis.

Calculate the t-test value: T= (0.998-1)/0.04/√60 = -0.387

Conclusion: Reject the null hypothesis, -0.387 < -2.391; which means there is enough
evidence to support that the average content of a one gallon can of paint is equal to 1 gallon.

Recommendation: The findings shows that the content of a one-gallon paint is equal to a
gallon. With this in results, they can continue to use their methods to keep the paint's volume
consistent or come up with better and more effective ideas to ensure that no matter what
problems the paint supplier faces, the content of paint in their can will always be one gallon.
To keep track of how much paint is being produced, they can periodically conduct hypothesis
testing.

2. The production process in a steel bar manufacturing firm, if working properly, produces
steel bars with a mean length of at least 3 feet. A test on randomly select 50 steel bars
showed a mean length of 2.95 fee with standard deviation of .35 foot. At a .05 level of
significance, is the mean length of the steel bars shorter than 3 feet?

Null hypothesis: The mean length of the steel bars longer than or equal to 3 feet.

Alternative hypothesis: The mean length of the steel bars shorter than 3 feet.

Level of Significance: 0.05

Degree of Freedom = n-1 = 50-1 = 49

T-test critical: -1.677, The critical value is negative, left tail (less)

Normal Curve: left

Decision rule: Reject null hypothesis if T < - 1.677 ;otherwise, do not reject the null
hypothesis.

Calculate the t-test value: T= (2.95-3)/0.35/√50 = -1.010

Conclusion: Reject the null hypothesis, -1.010< -1.677; which means there is enough
evidence to support that the mean length of the steel bars equal to 3 feet.

Recommendation: The length of the steel bars produced is proven to be equal to 3 feet with a
2.95 and 50 sample mean and sample, respectively. The steel bar manufacturing company must
therefore continue with its current strategies. Additionally, it would be much better if they
monitored their equipment to see if the length of steel bars produced deviated from the average.

The management of the company must also develop initiatives to boost employee motivation
so that they can work effectively and deliver high-quality steel bars.
