Question 4
A manufacturer of car batteries claims that the life of his batteries is approximately normally distributed with a mean life of 7 years and a standard deviation equal to 2 year. What is the probability that a battery last between 1 and 13 years?
| a. |
p = 0.9974 |
|
| b. |
p =0.74 |
|
| c. |
p = 0.99 |
|
| d. |
p = -0.9974 |
Homework Answers
Ans. Let X be life of battery, and X has N( 7, 4)
p = P( 1 < X < 13)
= P[(1-7)/2 < (X-7)/2 < (13-7)/2]
= P (-3 < Z < 3)
= 2*P(0 < Z < 3), since Z is symmetrical distribution abuta z =0
=2*0.4987
=9974
Thus the correct answer is (a)

The manufacturer of a certain brand of auto batteries claims that the mean life of these batteries is 45 months. A consumer protection agency that wants to check this claim took a random sample of 24 such batteries and found that the mean life for this sample is 43.35 months. The lives of all such batteries have a normal distribution with the population standard deviation of 4.5 months. Find the p-value for the test of hypothesis with the alternative hypothesis...

Question number 7 The ABC battery company claims that their batteries last 100 hours, on average. You decide to conduct a test to see if the company's claim is true. You believe that the mean life may be different from the 100 hours the company claims. You decide to collect data on the average battery life (in hours) of a random sample of n 20 batteries. Some of the information related to the hypothesis test is presented below. Test of...
