A manufacturer of workstations claims that a new workstation achieves a score of 200 on the Tower of Hanoi benchmark. An independent testing organization disputes this claim and believes that the workstation is slower than claimed. Note: The Tower of Hanoi (TOH) benchmark score is the number of TOH moves made in 25 microseconds. 1. Give the appropriate null and one-sided research hypotheses that correspond to the testing organizations point of view. H0: mu=200 Ha: mu<200 2. The testing organization selects a random sample of 17 workstations and discovers that the mean benchmark score is 199 with a standard deviation of 2.5. a) Compute the test statistic for your hypotheses. Since the sample is small, s(ybar)=2.5/sqrt(16)=0.625. Since we assume H0 true, t=(199-200)/0.625=-1.6 Reminder: Since n is small, you must assume y normally distributed. b) Determine the p-value. From the t-table, for 16 df, the proportion to the right of 1.6 is between 5% and 10%. By symmetry, this is also the proportion to the left of -1.6 which is the desired proportion. c) Given the p-value obtained comment on the manufacturers claim. This is non-significant and so we have insufficient evidence to challenge the manufacturers claim.
