20 7. A machine fills bags with flour. The weight of flour delivered by the machine into a bag, X grams, is normally distributed with mean μ grams and standard deviation 30 grams. To check if there is any change to the mean weight of flour delivered by the machine into each bag, Olaf takes a random sample of 10 bags. The weight of flour, x grams, in each bag is recorded and x– = 1020 (a) Test, at the 5% level of significance, H0 : μ = 1000 against H1 : μ ≠ 1000 (4) Olaf decides to alter the test so that the hypotheses are H0 : μ = 1000 and H1 : μ > 1000 but keeps the level of significance at 5% He takes a second sample of size n and finds the critical region, X– > c (b) Find an equation for c in terms of n (2) When the true value of μ is 1020 grams, the probability of making a Type II error is 0.0050, to 2 significant figures. (c) Calculate the value of n and the value of c (5) _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ Turn over 21 Question 7 continued _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________
