Question 19

The resistance of a specific type of resistor is normally distributed with a mean of 10.2 ohms and a standard deviation of 0.15 ohms.

a.

Find the probability that a randomly selected resistor has a resistance of less than 10.0 ohms.

[2]
b.

Write down the null and alternative hypotheses to test if the mean resistance is less than 10.2 ohms.

[1]
c.

A sample of 10 resistors is measured and the mean resistance is found to be 10.1 ohms. Carry out a test at the 1% significance level to see if there is evidence that the mean resistance is less than 10.2 ohms.
