The mean length of certain construction lumber is supposed to be 8.5 feet. A random
sample of 21 pieces of such lumbers gives a sample mean of 8.3 feet and a sample
standard deviation of 1.2 feet. A builder claims that the mean of the lumber is different
from 8.5 feet. Does the datasupport the builder's claim at a= 0.05?
Step:
1.State the null and alternative hypothesis concerning the population mean, "\\mu" and the type of test to be used.
2.Specify the level of significance "\\alpha"
3.State the decision rule
4.Collect the data and perform calculations.
5. Make a statistical decision.
6.State the conclusion.
