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...

: A cloth manufacturing company claims that the mean tearing strength of their curtain fabric is 120 pounds. A government inspection agency conducted tests on 49 curtain lengths revealing a mean strength of 115 pounds with a standard deviation of 20 pounds. At the 10% level of significance, does the governments’ information show that the mean tearing strength of the fabric is lower than manufacturer’s claim? null and alternative hypothesis? sigma? z or t distribution? critical value to fourth decimal...
