题目
A factory produces packets of biscuits. The total mass of biscuits in a packet has a normal distribution with mean . A random sample of 12 packets is taken and the mass of the contents of each packet, g, is recorded. The results are summarised as follows.
(a) Find a 99% confidence interval for .
A test of the null hypothesis is carried out on this sample using a 5% significance level. The test does not support the alternative hypothesis .
(b) Find the greatest possible value of .

原卷通用作答要求
Answer all questions. You should use a calculator where appropriate.
You must show all necessary working clearly; no marks will be given for unsupported answers from a calculator.
Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place for angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.
请回答所有题目。适当时应使用计算器。必须清楚展示所有必要的计算过程;仅给出计算器答案而没有过程,不予评分。除非题目另有精度要求,非精确数值答案保留 3 位有效数字,以度为单位的角度保留 1 位小数。

The sample mean is , and the unbiased variance estimate is
The two-sided interval uses , giving
To three significant figures the interval is g.

For a hypothesised mean , the statistic is . Its lower critical value with degrees of freedom is . The limiting value of for non-rejection is therefore
At this boundary the one-sided -value is . The greatest value to the accuracy of the calculation is g.
