    The engineer wants to test if the average daily energy usage of the factory has changed from the prior average of 2000 megawatt hours using a sample of 400 days with an average of 2040 megawatt hours. The null hypothesis is that the average has not changed versus the alternative that it has changed. The test statistic is calculated to be 1.8824 with a p-value of 0.05978. At the 5% significance level, the null hypothesis cannot be rejected since the p-value is greater than 0.05, so it can be concluded that the average daily energy usage has not changed.

    Exercise 5 – Hypothesis Testing

    PROBLEM 1

    An engineer wants to know if the average amount of energy used in his factory per day has
    changed since last year. The factory used an average of 2,000 megawatt hours (mwh) per day
    prior to last year. Since last year, the engineer surveyed 400 days and found the average energy
    use was 2,040 mwh per day. Assume that the population standard deviation is 425 mwh per
    day.

    a. Specify the null and alternative hypotheses to determine whether the factory's energy use has
    changed.
    b. Calculate the value of the test statistic and the p-value.
    c. At the 5% significance level, can you conclude that the energy usage has changed? Explain. 

    a. HO: µ = 2.000, HA: µ ≠ 2.000


    x́−μ0 2.040 – 2.000
    b. z= = = 1,8824
    σ /√n 425/ √ 400
    P (Z≥ 1,8824) = 1-NORM.DIST(1,8824;0;1;TRUE) = 0,02989
    p-value = 2*0,02989 = 0,05978
    c. We cannot Reject HO, because 0,05978 > 0,05, dapat disimpulkan bahwa Rata-rata
    penggunaan energi pabrik perhari tidak berubah yaitu sebesar 2000 megawatt hours
    (mwh).
