The true average diameter of ball bearings of a certain type issupposed to be 0.5 inch.

What conclusion is appropriate when testing H0: μ =0.5 versus Ha: μ ≠ 0.5 inch in each of the followingsituations?

(a)    

n = 15, t = 1.8, α = 0.05

1. Reject H0

2.Fail to rejectH0    


(b)    

n = 15, t = −1.8, α = 0.05

1. Reject H0

2. Fail to rejectH0    


(c)    

n = 27, t = −2.5,α = 0.01

1. Reject H0

2. Fail to rejectH0    


(d)    

n = 27, t = −3.7

1. Reject H0 at any reasonable significancelevel

2. Fail to reject H0 at any reasonablesignificance level
