Question

Clark Heter is an industrial engineer at Lyons Products. He would like to determine whether there are more units produced on the night shift than on the day shift. A sample of 60 day-shift workers showed that the mean number of units produced was 352, with a population standard deviation of 24. A sample of 64 night-shift workers showed that the mean number of units produced was 362, with a population standard deviation of 31 units.

The decision rule is to reject H0: d n if z < . (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

The test statistic is z = . (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

Test Hypothesis
Ho: d n
H1: d < n

X(Mean) = 352, s.d1 = 24, n1 = 60 Y(Mean) = 362, s.d2 = 31, n2 = 64
Test Statistic: Z = (X-Y)/Sqrt(s.d12/n1)+(s.d22/n2)
Zo = 352-362/Sqrt((576/60)+(961/64))
Zo = -2.02
| Zo | =2.02
Critical Value
Z = 0.02% is 2.054
We got |Zo | = 2.016 & | Z | =2.054
Make Decision
Hence Value of | Zo | < | Z | and Here we Do not Reject Ho
P-Value = 0.02192
Hence Value of P0.02 < 0.02192,Here We Do not Reject Ho
