Deon Buckley · Answer 1

E. There is sufficient evidence that the mean of the pressure required to open a certain valve has increased.

Step-by-step explanation:

Null hypothesis (H0) : μ = 8.4 psi

Alternative hypothesis (H1) : μ> 8.4 psi

If the test was due with a representative minimum number of observations. And, if the null hypothesis was rejected, then the mean pressure required to open a valve is greater than 8.4 psi. We can conclude that (at a certain level of confidence) there is sufficient evidence that the mean of the pressure required to open a certain valve has increased.

Isabelle French · Answer 2

option E is correct, which states that there is no sufficient evidence that the mean of the pressure is required to open a certain valve was increased.
