A company claims that their lightbulbs last an average of 400 days. To test this claim, a random sample of 25 lightbulbs is tested and it is observed that they last for an average of 380 days with a standard deviation of 60 days.
Part A) Assuming that the population of the time to failure of all lightbulbs is normally distributed, test the null hypothesis that the average life-length of their lightbulb is 400 days against the alternative that it is less than 400 days. Use a significance level of 0.05.
Part B) Use a significance level of 0.05 to test the null
hypothesis that the population standard deviation is 80 days
against the alternative that it is not equal to 80 days.

2. One Sample t-test for Population Mean A vendor claims that the average weight of a shipment of parts is 1.84. The customer randomly chooses 64 parts and finds the sample has an average of 1.88 and standard deviation of 0.03. Should the customer reject the lot? Assume the customer wants to be 95% confident that the supplier's claim is incorrect before he rejects. (This is the same as the last example, except that 0.03 is the sample standard deviation...

We did a quality control test on a candy company that claims their bags contain 341 grams of candy. 17 bags of candy were tested and it is found that the average amount of candy in the bags is 340.5 grams with a standard deviation of 1.5 grams. we want to test the claim that the company is underfilling its candy bags. (assume population is normally distributed if needed). i) state the null and alternative hypothesis you would use to...

A manufacturer of detergent claims that the contents of boxes sold weigh on average at least 30 ounces. The distribution of weights is known to be normal with standard deviation 0.7. A random sample of 25 boxes yielded an average weight of 29.7 ounces. Suppose an inspector wants to test the null hypothesis that the population mean weight is at least 30 ounces. That is, test the null hypothesis Họ : 4 = 30 against the alternative hypothesis He: u...

2. A manufacturer of transistors claims that its transistors will last an average of 1000 hours. To maintain this claim, 25 resistors are tested each month. What conclusions can you draw from a sample that has a mean of 1010 and a standard deviation of 60? You may assume that the distribution of the lifetime of a transistor is normal [NOTE: To receive FULL CREDIT, you must conduct a COMPLETE hypothesis test and make your conclusions using BOTH a fixed...

Lightbulbs of a certain type are advertised as having an average lifetime of 750 hours. The price of these bulbs is very favorable, so a potential customer has decided to go ahead with the purchase arrangement unless it Can be conclusively demonstrated that the true lifetime is smaller than what is advertised. A random sample of 60 bulbs was selected. In the sample, the mean lifetime was 741.8 and the standard deviation was 19.2. What conclusion would be appropriate for...

Historically, the average temperature for the month of January (31 days) has been 33 °F. A meteorologist claims that our winters are getting harsher because the average temperature this January was only 30 °F. It is assumed that the historic standard deviation of 2.5 °F represents the population standard deviation. a) State the null and alternative hypotheses. (4 pts) b) Is this a right-tailed, left-tailed, or two-tailed test? (2 pts) c) Calculate the test-statistic. (6 pts) d) Find the P-value....

1) I An inventor has developed a new, energy-efficient lawn mower engine. He claims that the engine will run continuously for 5 hours (300 minutes) on a single gallon of regular gasoline. Suppose a simple random sample of 50 engines is tested. The engines run for an average of 295 minutes, with a standard deviation of 20 minutes. Test the null hypothesis that the mean run time is 300 minutes against the alternative hypothesis that the mean run time is...
