Q1) In order to test the effects of replacing the bearings on different machines, ten different machines are chose. The number of parts produced in the hour before replacing the bearings and the number of parts produced in the hour after replacing the bearings is recorded.
A. Write the hypotheses that would be used to test the hypothesis that the production before replacing the bearings was greater than after replacing them.
B. Give the value of the test statistic and the p-value of the test: t= p-value=

D. Determine the 90% confidence interval for the difference in production per hour
E. What is the point estimate for the estimate for the difference in production from before and after the bearings are replaced?
F. What would you report to management as the effects of replacing the bearings?
Q2) A. How many randomly selected name brand computers would you need to estimate the mean price within +-$140 with a 90% confidence, if prior knowledge tells you that σ = $1,630? Show your work.
B. Name two ways you could reduce the required size of this sample.
