Question 362868: A manufacturer of desks has made 200 per week for the last year with a standard deviation (σ) of 16. Recently, a manufacturing change was made and now production is at 205 desks per week for the 50 randomly sampled days. Determine, at the 0.01 level of significance (α) using a 1 tail test if the change made any difference.

A manufacturer of desks has made 200 per week for the last year with a standard deviation (σ) of 16.
Recently, a manufacturing change was made and now production is at 205 desks per week for the 50 randomly sampled days.
Determine, at the 0.01 level of significance (α) using a 1 tail test if the change made any difference.
----
Ho: u <= 200
Ha: u > 200
----
t(205) = (205-200)/[16/sqrt(50)] = 2.2097
---
p-value = P(t > 2.2097 when df = 49) = 0.0159
--------------------
Conclusion: Since the p-value is greater than
1%, fail to reject Ho.
--
The test does not show the change made a difference
at the 1% level of significance.
