It is suspected that the machine is not working correctly and that the amount of milk filled differs from the setpoint $\mu_0 = `r mu`$. A sample of $`r n`$ packages filled by the machine are collected. The sample mean $\bar{y}$ is equal to $`r Mean`$ and the sample variance $s^2_{n-1}$ is equal to $`r Var`$. Test the hypothesis that the amount filled corresponds on average to the setpoint. What is the value of the t-test statistic? ```{r questionlist, echo = FALSE, results = "asis"} answerlist(questions, markup = "markdown") ``` Solution ======== The t-test statistic is calculated by: $$ \begin{aligned} t & = & \frac{\bar y - \mu_0}{\sqrt{\frac{s^2_{n-1}}{n}}} = \frac{`r Mean` - `r mu`}{\sqrt{\frac{`r Var`}{`r n`}}} = `r tstat`. \end{aligned} $$ The t-test statistic is thus equal to $`r fmt(tstat, 3)`$. ```{r solutionlist, echo = FALSE, results = "asis"} answerlist(ifelse(solutions, "True", "False"), markup = "markdown") ``` Meta-information ================ extype: schoice exsolution: `r mchoice2string(solutions, single = TRUE)` exname: t statistic
