Eleven components were tested to failure. The ordered ages (in hours) at failure were: 71, 87, 102, 104, 106, 111, 113, 117, 143, 159. The test was stopped at 200 hours (leaving one “survivor”). Calculate the Laplace (trend) statistic and test its significance. Clearly state your hypothesis, and conclusion.

Our null hypothesis is H0 : There is no trend in the data set against Ha: There is a trend present in the data.
We have the test statistic as , Here
So T = 12.18188 > 1.96
So, we reject the null hypothesis at 5% level of significance and conclude that there is a trend present in the given data set.
