A company has been producing steel tubes of mean inner diameter of 3 cm. A sample of 17 tubes gives an inner diameter of 3.01 cm and a standard deviation of 0.064. Then the value of the t-test statistic is:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Using the sample standard deviation form, t=xˉ−μs/n−1t=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n-1}}.

Here xˉ−μ=0.01\bar x-\mu=0.01, s=0.064s=0.064, n−1=16n-1=16, so s16=0.016\frac{s}{\sqrt{16}}=0.016.

t=0.010.016=0.625t=\frac{0.01}{0.016}=0.625.
