Question 830444: An average computer mouse inspector can inspect 60 mice per hour. The 48 computer mice inspectors at a particular factory can only inspect 55 mice per hour with a standard deviation of 10. Does the company have reason to believe that these inspectors are slower than average? At a level of significance of a=0.10

An average computer mouse inspector can inspect 60 mice per hour. The 48 computer mice inspectors at a particular factory can only inspect 55 mice per hour with a standard deviation of 10. Does the company have reason to believe that these inspectors are slower than average? A5727t a level of significance of a=0.10
--------
Ho: u = 60
Ha: u < 60 (claim)
-----
t(55) = (55-60)/[10/sqrt(48)] = -3.46
----
p-value = P(z < -3.46) = tcdf(-100,-3.46,47) = 0.0005727....
---
Since the p-value is less than 10%, reject Ho.
The test results support the claim at the 10% level of significance.
