i want to be able to test the ph of foods and drinks so I purchesed a digital ph tester for water. Is there a better ph tester option ? If I wanted to test the ph of something like mayonnaise would I just stick the tester into the mayo or would I need to mix the mayo with water first?

In a left-tailed test, the value of the test statistic is -2. If we know the shaded area is 0.03, then we have sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance.

Hey! :o A public transport company claims that its buses are at least $95\%$ on time. (A bus is still on time here, if he has at most $3$ minutes delay compared to the timetable.) A sample size of $n = 1000$ at various stops results in $66$ delays. The probability that a randomly selected bus...

Setting up a test stand that will need a controller to cycles a device ON and OFF at an adjustable time interval (allows me to make the ON duration and OFF duration whatever I want). It will also need to keep a count, so I can track the cycles count and also set a limit on cycles so it will stop...
