A machine fills milk into $r mu
$ml packages. It is suspected that the
machine is not working correctly and that the amount of milk filled differs
from the setpoint $\mu_0 = r mu
$. A sample of $r n
$ packages
filled by the machine are collected. The sample mean $\bar{y}$ is equal to
$r Mean
$ and the sample variance $s^2_{n-1}$ is equal to
$r Var
$.
Test the hypothesis that the amount filled corresponds on average to the setpoint. What is the value of the t-test statistic?
answerlist(questions, markup = "markdown")
The t-test statistic is calculated by:
$$
\begin{aligned}
t & = & \frac{\bar y - \mu_0}{\sqrt{\frac{s^2_{n-1}}{n}}}
= \frac{r Mean
- r mu
}{\sqrt{\frac{r Var
}{r n
}}}
= r tstat
.
\end{aligned}
$$
The t-test statistic is thus equal to
$r fmt(tstat, 3)
$.
