A randomly selected sample of 32 individuals reported that their smartphone stopped working after an average of 4.2 years. Assume that we know the population standard deviation of smartphone life expectancy is 1.2 years. Test the claim that the average smartphone life expectancy is less than 4.7 years (the average based on past studies). Use a 0.01 significance level. 1) State the Null Hypothesis, Alternate Hypothesis, type of test & level of significance (2 pts) 2) Check the conditions. (2 pts)...

(1 point) A sample of 6 measurments, randomly selected from a normally distributed population, resulted in a sample mean x = 7.5 and sample standard deviation s = 1.08. Using a = 0.01, test the null hypothesis that the mean of the population is 8.1 against the alternative hypothesis that the mean of the population is less than 8.1 by giving the following: (a) the degree of freedom (b) the critical t value (c) the test statistic The final conclusion...
