Suppose the average lifetime of a certain type of car battery is known to be 60 months. Consider conducting a two-sided test on it based on a sample of size 25 from a normal distribution with a population standard deviation of 4 months.
a) If the true average lifetime is 62 months and a =0.01, what is the probability of a type II error?
b) What is the required sample size to satisfy and the type II error probability of b(62) = 0.1?

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 a 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 this sample, the mean lifetime was
741.8 and the standard deviation was 19.2. What conclusion would be
appropriate for...

A manufacturer of electronic components is interested in testing

observations resulted in a mean of 123 hours and a variance of 144
hours square. Does this result provide strong evidence that the
population mean is greater than 120 hours at 5% significance level
under normal distribution assumption?
