An engineer wants to measure the bias in a pH meter. She uses the meter to measure the pH in 12
neutral substances (pH=7.0) and obtains the following data: 7.04 7.31 7.04 7.01 6.97 7.00 7.00
6.99 7.04 6.97 7.27 7.04 Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that the pH meter is not
correctly calibrated at the alpha= .05 level of significance?
a. Find the sample mean (4 decimals) ____
b. Find the sample standard deviation (4 decimal places)__ (calculator acceptable)
c. State the null and the alternate hypotheses. Ho: ____Ha:_______
d. State the critical value(s) for this test. ____
e. Find the test statistic. ______
f. Approximate the p-value for this test.____
g. Find the appropriate Confidence Interval for this problem. (______, ______)
h. State your conclusion in the context of this problem.

Solution
Let X be measure of the bias in a pH meter. n = 14 Xmean =
(1/12)*(7.04+7.31+7.04+7.01+6.97+7.00+6.
