g A manufacturer of sprinkler systems designed for fire protection claims that the average activating temperature is at least 135oF. To test this claim, you randomly select a sample of 32 systems and find the mean activation temperature to be 133oF. Assume the population standard deviation is 3.3oF. At alpha = 0.10, do you have enough evidence to reject the manufacturer's claim? Find the standardized test statistic z. Round your answer to the hundredths place.

Answer:

There is enough evidence to reject the manufacturer’s claim and  the standardized test statistic z is -3.43

Step-by-step explanation:

A manufacturer of sprinkler systems designed for fire protection claims that the average activating temperature is at least 135°F.

So, Null hypothesis:[tex]H_0:\mu \geq 135[/tex]

Alternate hypothesis :[tex]H_a:\mu <135[/tex]

To test this claim, you randomly select a sample of 32 systems and find the mean activation temperature to be 133°F.

x=133

n = 32

Population Standard deviation =[tex]\sigma = 3.3^{\circ}F[/tex]

Formula :[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z=\frac{133-135}{\frac{3.3}{\sqrt{32}}}\\\\z=-3.428[/tex]

z=-3.43

Refer the z table for p value

p value = 0.0003

[tex]\alpha = 0.10[/tex]

p value < α

So, we failed to accept null hypothesis

Hence there is enough evidence to reject the manufacturer’s claim and  the standardized test statistic z is -3.43
