A computer manufacturer estimates that its cheapest screens will last less than 2.8 years. A random sample of 61 of these screens has a mean life of 2.4 years. The population is normally distributed with a population standard deviation of 0.88 years. At α=0.02, what type of test is this and can you reject the organization’s claim using the test statistic?

A computer manufacturer estimates that its line of minicomputers has, on average, 8.6 days of downtime per year. To test this claim, a researcher contacts seven companies that own one of these computers and is allowed to access company computer records. It is determined that, for the sample, the average number of downtime days is 5.2, with a sample standard deviation of 1.1 days. Assuming that number of downtime days is normally distributed, test to determine whether these minicomputers actually...
