6) In order to test the effects of replacing the bearings on different machines, ten different machines are chose. The number of parts produced in the hour before replacing the bearings and the number of parts produced in the hour after replacing the bearings is recorded. (chart is on attachment)
A. Write the hypotheses that would be used to test the hypothesis that the production before replacing the bearings was greater than after replacing them.
H0: There is no significant difference in the mean number of parts produced before and after the replacement of bearings.
H1 : The mean number of parts produced after the replacement of bearings is higher than that of mean number of productions before the replacement.
B. Give the value of the test statistic and the p-value of the test:
The test statistic used is where is the mean of differences, S is the SD of differences
Rejection Criteria: Reject the null hypothesis, if value of test statistic is greater than the critical value of t.
