A manufacturer of metal plates makes two claims concerning the thickness of the plates they produce. The manufacturer claims that • Statement A: The mean is 200mm • Statement B: The variance is 1.5mm2. To investigate Statement A, the thickness of a sample of metal plates produced in a given shift was measured. The values found are listed in Part (a) of worksheet 'Dataset2', with millimetres (mm) as unit. 1. Calculate the sample mean and sample standard deviation for the data in Part (a) of 'Dataset2'. 2. Set up the framework of an appropriate statistical test on State- ment A. Explain how knowing the sample mean before carrying out the test will influence the structure of your test. 3. Carry out the statistical test and state your conclusions.
