A Belt working in a supply chain environment has to make a decision to change suppliers
of critical raw materials for a new product upgrade. The purchasing manager is depending
on the Belt’s effort requiring that the average cost of an internal critical raw material
component be less than or equal to $4,200 in order to stay within budget. Using a sample
of 35 first article components, a Mean of the new product upgrade price of $4,060, and a
Standard Deviation of $98 was estimated. The Alternative Hypothesis in the above
example is?

The Standard Deviation is equal to $300.

B.

The Mean is less than $4,320.

C.

The Mean is equal to $4,060.

D.

The Mean is less than $4,200.

E.

The Mean is greater than $ 4,200.
