SeeClear Windows makes windows for use in homes and commercial buildings. The standards for glass thickness call for the glass to average 0.375 inches with a standard deviation equal to 0.050 inch. Suppose a random sample of nequals50 windows yields a sample mean of 0.392 inches. What is the probability if the windows meet the​ standards?

Respuesta :

Answer:  0.0164

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The standards for glass thickness call for the glass to average [tex]\mu=\text{ 0.375 inches}[/tex] with a standard deviation 0[tex]\sigma=\text{ 0.050 inch}[/tex].

[tex]H_0:\mu=0.375\\\\H_a:\mu\neq0.375[/tex]

Since the alternative hypothesis is two-tailed , so the test is two-tailed test.

Sample size : [tex]n=50[/tex] , a large sample ( n>30) so we use z-test.

Sample mean :-[tex]\overline{x}=0.392[/tex]

We assume its a normal distribution.

[tex]z=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z=\dfrac{0.392-0.375}{\dfrac{0.050}{\sqrt{50}}}\approx2.40[/tex]

By using standard normal distribution table , the p-value =

[tex]0.0163951\approx0.0164[/tex]

Thus, the probability if the windows meet the​ standards = 0.0164

The probability if the windows meet the​ standards is 0.016.

Given

The standards for glass thickness call for the glass to average 0.375 inches with a standard deviation equal to 0.050 inches.

Suppose a random sample of nequals50 windows yields a sample mean of 0.392 inches.

Probability;

In probability theory, an event is a set of outcomes of an experiment or a subset of the sample space.

The value of probability if the windows meet the​ standards is given by;

[tex]\rm Z = \dfrac{X-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }}\\\\[/tex]

Substitute all the values in the formula;

[tex]\rm Z = \dfrac{X-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }}\\\\ \rm Z = \dfrac{0.392-0.375}{\dfrac{0.050}{\sqrt{50} }}\\\\ Z = \dfrac{0.392-0.375}{0.050} \times {\sqrt{50} }\\\\Z= \dfrac{0.017}{0.050} \times 7.07\\\\Z=0.34 \times 7.07\\\\Z=2.40[/tex]

By using a standard normal distribution table, the p-value is 0.016.

Hence, the probability if the windows meet the​ standards is 0.016.
