```{r data generation, echo = FALSE, results = "hide"} n <- sample(120:250, 1) mu <- sample(c(125, 200, 250, 500, 1000), 1) y <- rnorm(n, mean = mu * runif(1, min = 0.9, max = 1.1), sd = mu * runif(1, min = 0.02, max = 0.06) ) Mean <- round(mean(y), digits = 1) Var <- round(var(y), digits = 2) tstat <- round((Mean - mu)/sqrt(Var/n), digits = 3) ``` Question ======== A machine fills milk into `r mu`ml packages. 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 absolute value of the t-test statistic? 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 absolute value of the t-test statistic is thus equal to `r fmt(abs(tstat), 3)`. Meta-information ================ extype: num exsolution: `r fmt(abs(tstat), 3)` exname: t statistic extol: 0.01
