Step 1/2
First, we need to set up our null and alternative hypotheses. The null hypothesis (H0) is that the mean number of desks produced has not changed, so it is still 200.
The alternative hypothesis (H1) is that the mean number of desks produced has changed, so it is not 200.
Answer
Next, we calculate the test statistic. In this case, we are using a z-test. The z-score is calculated as (sample mean - population mean) /
(standard deviation / sqrt(sample size)). Here, the sample mean is 203.5, the population mean is 200, the standard deviation is 16, and the
sample size is 50. The calculated z-score is 1.55. We then compare the calculated z-score to the critical z-score for a 0.05 significance level. The
critical z-score for a 0.05 significance level (two-tailed) is approximately ±1.96. Since our calculated z-score of 1.55 is less than the critical z-
score of 1.96, we do not reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, the correct answer is: Unable to reject the null hypothesis; there is insufficient
evidence to indicate a change in weekly production.
