Chapter 8  Tests of Hypotheses Based on a Single Sample Introduction Example 8.8 A dynamic cone penetrometer(DCP) is used for measuring material resistance to penetration (mm/blow) as a cone is driven into pavement or subgrade. Suppose that for a particular application, it is required that the true average DCP value for a certain type of pavement be less than 30. The pavement will not be used unless there is conclusive evidence that the specification has been met. Let’s state and test the appropriate hypotheses using the following data 14.1 14.5 15.5 16.0 16.0 16.7 16.9 17.1 17.5 17.8 17.8 18.1 18.2 18.3 18.3 19.0 19.2 19.4 20.0 20.0 20.8 20.8 21.0 21.5 23.5 27.5 27.5 28.0 28.3 30.0 30.0 31.6 31.7 31.7 32.5 33.5 33.9 35.0 35.0 35.0 36.7 40.0 40.0 41.3 41.7 47.5 50.0 51.0 51.8 54.4 55.0 57.0 1.μ= true average DCP value 2. :μ=30 3. μ30 (so the pavement will not be used unless the null hypothesis is rejected) 4. 6.with n=52 , =28.76,and s=12.2647, 5.Using a test with significance level .05, will be rejected if z≤ - 1.645 (a lower-tailed test) 7.Since -0.73-1.645, cannot be rejected. We do not have compelling evidence for concluding that 30 , so use of the pavement is not justified. Null hypothesis: : Test statistic value: Case III: A Normal Population Distribution When σis unknown A well-designed and safe workplace can contribute greatly to increased productivity. It is especially important that workers not be asked to perform tasks, such as lifting , that exceed their capabilities. The accompanying data on maximum weight of lift (MAWL, in kg) for a frequency of four lifts/min was reported. Subjects were randomly selected from the population of healthy males age 18-30. Assuming that MAWL is normally distributed, does the following data suggest that the population mean MAWL exceeds 25? 25.8 36.6 26.3 21.8 27.2 Example 8.9 Solution: Let’s car
