(choose chapter or problem)

The calibration of a scale is to be checked by weighing a10-kg test specimen 25 times. Suppose that the results of differentweighings are independent of one another and that theweight on each trial is normally distributed with kg.Let m denote the true average weight reading on the scale.a. What hypotheses should be tested?b. Suppose the scale is to be recalibrated if eitheror . What is the probability thatrecalibration is carried out when it is actually unnecessary?c. What is the probability that recalibration is judged unnecessarywhen in fact ? When ?d. Let . For what value c is the rejectionregion of part (b) equivalent to the two-tailedregion of either or ?e. If the sample size were only 10 rather than 25, how shouldthe procedure of part (d) be altered so that ?f. Using the test of part (e), what would you conclude fromthe following sample data?9.981 10.006 9.857 10.107 9.8889.728 10.439 10.214 10.190 9.793 g. Reexpress the test procedure of part (b) in terms of thestandardized test statistic .
