. A company that receives shipments of batteries tests a random sample of nine of them before agreeing to take a shipment. The company concerned that the true mean lifetime of all batteries in the shipment should be at least 50 hours. From past experience it is safe to conclude that the population distribution of lifetimes is normal with standard deviation of 3 hours. For one particular shipment the mean lifetime for a sample of nine batteries was 48.2 hours.

a. Test at the 5% significance level the null hypothesis that the population mean lifetime is at least 50 hours.

b. Find the p-value for this test. What can you conclude with this value?

A battery company produces typical consumer batteries and claims that their batteries last at least 100 hours, on average. Your experience with their batteries has been somewhat different, so you decide to conduct a test to see if the company’s claim is true. You believe that the mean life is actually less than the 100 hours the company claims. You decide to collect data on the average battery life (in hours) of a random sample and obtain the following information:...

A company provides portable walkie-talkies to construction crews. They use batteries that last, on average, 62 hours of continuous use. The purchasing manager receives a brochure advertising a new brand of batteries that claims it has more longevity than the brand currently in use. To test this, the new brand is installed in 10 randomly selected radios. Here are the results for the lifetime of the batteries (in hours): 55 61 68 72 70 59 70 64 60 67 Is...

A modification has been made to the production line which produces a certain electronic component. Past evidence shows that lifetimes of the components have a population standard deviation of 700 hours. It is believed that the modification will not affect the population standard deviation, but may affect the mean lifetime. The previous mean lifetime was 3250 hours. A random sample of 50 components made with the modification is taken and the sample mean lifetime for these components is found to...

Grand Auto Corporation is a manufacturer of automobile batteries. The company claims that its top of the line Never Die batteries are good, on average, for at least 65 months. A consumer protection agency tested a random sample of 36 such batteries to check this claim. It found that sample mean is 63 months. Suppose the population standard deviation is σ = 3 months. a. At 5% level of significance, can you conclude that the average life of Never Die...

Three different brands of car batteries, each having a 42 month warranty, were included in a study of battery lifetime. A random sample of batteries of each brand was selected, and lifetime, in months, was determined. An analysis of variance was conducted and the p-value was 0.053. The hypothesis that all mean lifetimes are the same was retained at the 5% level. Multiple comparisons of the means were also carried out with the following (somewhat contradictory) findings: The Tukey's 95%...

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) buys bolts from two suppliers, and it is very important the mean widths of the bolts received from both suppliers are equal since they must be used interchangeably.  NASA receives a large shipment of bolts from each supplier, and draws a random sample of 49 bolts from each shipment. It wants to test whether the mean width is the same in both shipments.  Suppose that NASA finds the mean width of the bolts taken from...

One of the factors that a company will use in determining whether it will locate a new Italian restaurant at a particular location is its distance from local college students. The managers believe that an important measure of distance is the average walking time from the most popular bar in town.   For a particular site, they believe that if the mean walking time is 8 minutes. To test this in a particular location, a random sample of n = 50...
