QUESTION:

A company that manufactures brackets for an automaker regularly selects brackets from the production line and performs a torque test. The goal is for mean torque to equal 125. Let \(X\) equal the torque and assume that \(X\) is \(N\left(\mu, \sigma^{2}\right)\). We shall use a sample of size \(n=15\) to test \(H_{0}: \mu=125\) against a two-sided alternative hypothesis.

(a) Give the test statistic and a critical region with significance level \(\alpha=0.05\). Sketch a figure illustrating the critical region.

(b) Use the following observations to calculate the value of the test statistic and state your conclusion:
