Consider a chemical company that wishes to determine whether a new catalyst, catalyst XA-100. changes the mean
Question:
a. Letting μ be the mean of all possible yields using the new catalyst, set up the null and alternative hypotheses needed if we wish to attempt to provide evidence that p differs from 750 pounds.
b. The mean and the standard deviation of the sample of 5 catalyst yields are = 811 and s = 19.647. Using a critical value and assuming approximate normality, test the hypotheses you set up in part (a) by setting α equal to .01. The p-value for the hypothesis test is given in the Excel output on the page margin. Interpret this p-value.
