The capacities (in ampere-hours) were measured for a sample of 120 batteries. The average was 178 and the standard deviation was 12.

a.)

Find a 95% lower confidence bound for the mean capacity of this type of battery. Round the answer to two decimal places.

b.) An engineer claims that the mean capacity is greater than 175 ampere-hours. With what level of confidence can this statement be made? Express the answer as a percent and round to two decimal places.

In a random sample of 120 car batteries produced by a special method, the sample average lifetime was 135 hours and the sample standard deviation was 12 hours. An engineer claims that the mean lifetime is between 132.452 and 137.548 hours. Assume data is normally distributed. (a) What level of confidence can this statement be made with? (b) Create a confidence interval for the population variance and explain how you did it. State your conclusion.

A battery company claims that their batteries last on average 60 hours. The standard deviation of the battery life is 4 hours. Assuming that their claim is true, what would be the lowest 5% of values we would get if we were to sample 100 batteries and find their mean life length? Please show me how to do it, thank you!

Suppose that 500 batteries made by a certain manufacturer lasted on the average 2420 hours with a standard deviation of 300 hours. Do you have enough evidence to reject the manufactuer's claim that the average life is at least 2500 hours? Test the claim at significance level a = 0.05. (a) State clearly what your null and alternative hypotheses are. (b) Find the critical region of the test. (c) Find the p-value of the test. (d) What is your conclusion?

A battery company claims that its batteries last an average of 100 hours under normal use. After several complaints that the batteries do not last this long, an independent testing laboratory decided to test the company’s claim with a random sample of 42 batteries. The data from the 42 batteries appeared to be unimodal and symmetric with a mean 97 hours and a standard deviation of 12 hours. What sample size would allow us to increase our confidence level to...
