Question:

A manufacturer can tolerate a small amount (.05 milligrams per liter (mg/l)) of impurities in a raw material needed for manufacturing its product. Because the laboratory test for the impurities is subject to experimental error, the manufacturer tests each batch 10 times. Assume that the mean value of the experimental error is 0 and hence that the mean value of the 10 test readings is an unbiased estimate of the true amount of the impurities in the batch. For a particular batch of the raw material, the mean of the 10 test readings is .058 mg/l, with a standard deviation of .012 mg/l. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that the amount of impurities in the batch exceeds .05 mg/l? Find the p-value for the test and interpret its value.
