Newly purchased tires of a particular type are supposed to be filled to a pressure of 30 psi. Let m denote the true average pressure. A test is to be carried out to decide whether m differs from the target value. Determine the P-value for each of the following z test statistic values.a. 2.10b. -1.75c. -.55d. 1.41e. -5.3

A:
Answer: a) 48.21 %b) 45.99 %c) 20.88 %d) 42.07 %e) 50 %Note: these values represent differences between z values and the meanStep-by-step explanation:The test to carry out is: Null hypothesis H₀ is μ₀ = 30 The alternative hypothesis m ≠ 30In which we already have the value of z for each case therefore we look directly the probability in z table and carefully take into account that we had been asked for differences from the mean (0.5)a) z = 2.1 correspond to 0.9821 but mean value is ubicated at 0.5 then we subtract 0.9821 - 0.5 and get 0.4821 or 48.21 %b) z = -1.75 P(m) = 0.0401 That implies the probability of m being from that point p to the end of the tail, the difference between this point and the mean so 0.5 - 0.0401 = 0.4599 or 45.99 %c) z = -.55 P(m) = 0.2912 and this value for same reason as before is 0.5 - 0.2912 = 0.2088 or 20.88 %d) z = 1.41 P(m) = 0.9207 0.9207 -0.5 0.4207 or 42.07 %e) z = -5.3 P(m) = 0 meaning there is not such value in z table is too small to compute and difference to mean value will be 0.5 d) z= 1.41 P(m) =
