On the basis of these results‚ the producer of the new‚ improved trash bag feels sure that its 30-gallon bag will be the strongest such bag on the market if the new trash bag’s mean breaking strength can be shown to be at least 50 pounds. The mean of the sample of 40 trash bag breaking strengths in Table 1.9 is x=50

(-3.5)/1.6396 = -2.1347 Critical Value: Zα/2= Z0.05/2= @qnorm(1-0.05/2)= 1.96 When comparing the test statistic to the critical value: Z=2.1347>1.96‚ we reject the null hypothesis. We can calculate the P-value using the EViews command: Show @tdist (t‚ d.f) In this EViews command‚ t stands for the appropriate test statistic and d.f are the degrees of freedom. The appropriate test statistic was calculated above‚ namely Z=2.1347. For the degrees of freedom‚ we can insert NA+NB-2. Show @tdist (2
