Question 5

(a) A company advertises that its electric motors provide an efficiency that is at least 25%
higher than the industry norm. A consumer interest group ran an experiment with a
sample of 32 machines for which the increases in efficiency over the industry norm had a
sample mean of x = 22.8% and a sample standard deviation of s = 8.72%. Carry out a

by the procedure below.
