1. Test the hypothesis that the average life of a bulb is 1600 hr. against the alternative that it is 1570 hr. For engineering reasons, only 16 bulbs could be tested obtaining an average of 1590 hr. with a standard deviation of 30 hr. Use a 99% confidence level. Calculate the value of β.

2. An automatic box filling machine has a variability of 0.05 lb. A new automatic machine will be compared with the previous one, and for this, a sample of 18 boxes is taken and the variance is calculated at 0.008 lb. If a 99% confidence level is used, test the hypothesis that the variability remains at 0.05 lb.

3. An oil company states that at most 20% of all car owners buy type A gasoline. Test this hypothesis at the 1% significance level, if a random sample indicates that 58 out of 200 car owners buy type gasoline. TO.

4. A company claims that its lamps are superior to those of its main competitor. If a study showed that a sample of 40 of these lamps has a half-life of 647 hrs. with a standard deviation of 27 hrs., while a sample of 40 of its main competitor had a half-life of 638 hrs. continuous use with a standard deviation of 31 hrs. Should the statement be accepted with a significance level of 0.05?

5. The actual situation of the Fatsa company in terms of the production of carburetors per day, according to the data from the last 8 days, is as follows: 115, 105, 97, 96, 108, 104, 99 and 107. The Model created for the simulation of the plant yields the following 10 carburetor production results per day: 110, 97, 100, 105, 108, 99, 118, 104, 105 and 103. Using a confidence level of 95%, determine if the model results are statistically equal to the real ones. Assume that the production of carburetors follows a normal distribution and that the variances are unknown and equal.

Hypothesis testing is used in business to test assumptions and theories. These assumptions are tested against evidence provided by actual, observed data. A statistical hypothesis is a statement about the value of a population parameter that we are interested in. Hypothesis testing is a process followed to arrive at a decision between 2 competing, mutually exclusive, collective exhaustive statements about the parameter’s value.
