An engineer wants to know if producing metal bars using a new experimental treatment rather than the conventional treatment makes a difference in the tensile strength of the bars​ (the ability to resist tearing when pulled​ lengthwise). At
α=0.10​,

answer parts​ (a) through​ (e). Assume the population variances are equal and the samples are random. If​ convenient, use technology to solve the problem.

​(a) Identify the claim and state
H0

and
Ha.



The claim is​ "The new treatment





makes a difference

does not make a difference




in the tensile strength of the​ bars."

What are
H0

and
Ha​?



The null​ hypothesis,
H0​,

is





mu 1 equals mu 2μ1=μ2

mu 1 less than or equals mu 2μ1≤μ2

mu 1 greater than or equals mu 2μ1≥μ2



.

The alternative​ hypothesis,
Ha​,

is





mu 1 not equals mu 2μ1≠μ2

mu 1 greater than mu 2μ1>μ2

mu 1 less than mu 2μ1<>



.


Which hypothesis is the​ claim?









The null​ hypothesis, H0








The alternative​ hypothesis, Ha





​(b) Find the critical​ value(s) and identify the rejection​ region(s).


Enter the critical​ value(s) below.


nothing

​(Type an integer or decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed. Use a comma to separate answers as​ needed.)

Select the correct rejection​ region(s) below.






A.


t>t0






B.


−t0<><>






C.


t<>






D.


t<−t0, t>t0





​(c) Find the standardized test statistic.



t=nothing


​(Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest thousandth as​ needed.)

​(d) Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.








Fail to reject

Reject




the null hypothesis.

​(e) Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.


At the
10%

significance​ level,





there is not

there is




enough evidence to support the claim.
