题目
The lengths of pencils made at a factory are normally distributed. The standard deviation of the lengths is , and the mean is supposed to be . An inspector thinks that the mean is actually greater than . He takes a random sample of pencils produced at the factory and finds that the mean of these lengths is . He then carries out a hypothesis test.
(a) He finds that the value of the test statistic is correct to decimal places.
(i) Calculate the value of .
(ii) Carry out the hypothesis test at the significance level.
(b) Explain whether it was necessary to use the Central Limit Theorem in carrying out the test.

(a) 他发现检验统计量 保留 位小数后为 。
(i) 计算 的值。
(ii) 在 的显著性水平下进行假设检验。
(b) 说明在进行检验时是否有必要使用中心极限定理。
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。

Let be the population mean pencil length. Test
The critical value for an upper-tail test at the level is . Since the given statistic is , reject .
There is sufficient evidence at the significance level that the population mean pencil length is greater than .
(b)

总体长度已经正态,不需要依靠大样本的中心极限定理来得到样本均值正态。

No. The population distribution of pencil lengths is normal, so the sample mean is normally distributed without using the Central Limit Theorem.
