Question

Feit Electric manufactures 60-watt equivalent Compact Fluorescent Bulbs that it guarantees will last at least 10,000 hours. The Consumer Testing Company tested the claim of the manufacturer by purchasing a random sample of 60-watt equivalent CFBs manufactured by Feit Electric. The Consumer Testing Company tested 36 CFBs. The results of the test are found in Chapter_10_Project_HT_CFB.xlsx. The Consumer Testing Company has no other data on CFBs from the manufacturer, so must rely for its test on the sample of 36 bulbs.

Use Proposed R Code for Part Two 2. and the Excel file Chapter_10_Project_HT_CFB.xlsx. Calculation should be completed in RStudio. For the null hypothesis, assume that the Compact Fluorescent Bulbs satisfy the guarantee of Feit Electric.

(a) State the null and the alternative hypothesis. H0 : µ = Ha : µ [ ≠ or > or < ]

(b) Should the test be a left-tail, right-tail or two- tail test?

(c) Calculate t using the R code for variable tcfb given below. [Proposed R Code for Part Two 2.]

(d) Find the rejection region (critical value) for α = 0.01. What is the decision? [Compare tcfb to tcrit01.] Is the null hypothesis rejected or do the CFBs satisfy the guarantee?

(e) Find the rejection region (critical value) for α = 0.05. What is the decision? Compare tcfb to tcrit05.] Is the null hypothesis rejected or do the CFBs satisfy the guarantee?

Answer 1

(a) State the null and the alternative hypothesis. H0 : µ = Ha : µ [ ≠ or > or < ]

The hypothesis being tested is:

H0: µ 10000

Ha: µ < 10000

(b) Should the test be a left-tail, right-tail or two- tail test?

left-tail

(c) Calculate t using the R code for variable tcfb given below. [Proposed R Code for Part Two 2.]

t = 0.779

(d) Find the rejection region (critical value) for α = 0.01. What is the decision? [Compare tcfb to tcrit01.] Is the null hypothesis rejected or do the CFBs satisfy the guarantee?

Reject Ho if t < -2.44.

Since 0.779 < 2.44, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Therefore, we can conclude that µ 10000.

(e) Find the rejection region (critical value) for α = 0.05. What is the decision? Compare tcfb to tcrit05.] Is the null hypothesis rejected or do the CFBs satisfy the guarantee?

Reject Ho if t < -1.69.

Since 0.779 < 1.69, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Therefore, we can conclude that µ 10000.
