Question 1102488: An average computer mouse inspector can inspect 40 mice per hour with a population standard deviation of 10 mice per hour. The 42 computer mice inspectors at a particular factory can only inspect 33 mice per hour. Does the company have reason to believe that these inspectors are slower than average at alpha = 0.10?
A) No, because the test value -2.62 falls in the critical region.
B) Yes, because the test value -4.54 falls in the noncritical region.
C) No, becuase the test value -2.62 falls in the noncritical region.
D) Yes, because the test value -4.54 falls in the critical region.

Ho: u = 40
Ha: u < 40
z(33) = (33-40)/(10/sqrt(42)) = -4.54
