Is the average capacity of batteries less than 120 ampere-hours? A random sample of 49 batteries had a mean of 118.47 and a standard deviation of 3.66. Assume a normal distribution. Test at the 0.1 level of significance. (USING Z TABLE)
The null and alternative hypothesis is ,
The test is one-tailed test.
The test statistic is ,
The critical value is ,
; Fom Z-table
Rejection Rule : Reject Ho , If Z-stat<-1.28
Decision : Here , Z-stat=-2.93<-1.28
Therefore , reject Ho.
Conclusion : Hence , there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the average capacity of batteries less than 120 ampere-hours.
