- A company manufactures bolts with a mean diameter of 5 mm . The company wishes to check that the diameter of the bolts has not decreased. A random sample of 10 bolts is taken and the diameters, \(x \mathrm {~mm}\), of the bolts are measured. The results are summarised below.
$$\sum x = 49.1 \quad \sum x ^ { 2 } = 241.2$$
Using a \(1 \%\) level of significance, test whether or not the mean diameter of the bolts is less than 5 mm .
(You may assume that the diameter of the bolts follows a normal distribution.)
