A manufacturer must test that his bolts are 1.00 cm long when they come off the assembly line. He must recalibrate his machines if the bolts are too
long or too short. After sampling 64 randomly selected bolts off the assembly line, he calculates the sample mean to be 1.05 cm . He knows that the
population standard deviation is 0.18 cm . Assuming a level of significance of 0.05 , is there sufficient evidence to show that the manufacturer needs
to recalibrate the machines?
Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.

To compute the test statistic for the hypothesis test, follow these steps:

**Given:**
- Null hypothesis $$ H_0: \mu = 1.00 $$ cm
- Alternative hypothesis $$ H_a: \mu \neq 1.00 $$ cm
- Sample size $$ n = 64 $$
- Sample mean $$ \bar{x} = 1.05 $$ cm
- Population standard deviation $$ \sigma = 0.18 $$ cm

**Step 2: Compute the Test Statistic**

The test statistic $$ z $$ is calculated using the formula:
$$
z = \frac{\bar{x} - \mu_0}{\sigma / \sqrt{n}}
$$
Plugging in the values:
$$
z = \frac{1.05 - 1.00}{0.18 / \sqrt{64}} = \frac{0.05}{0.0225} \approx 2.22
$$

**Answer:**  
The test statistic is **2.22**.
The test statistic is 2.22.
