A manufacturer of compact fluorescent light bulbs advertises that the distribution of the lifespans of these light bulbs is nearly normal with a mean of 9,000 hours and a standard deviation of 1,000 hours.

(a) What is the probability that a randomly chosen light bulb lasts more than 10,500 hours?
(please round to four decimal places) (b) Describe the distribution of the mean lifespan of 15 light bulbs.

approximately normal with μ = 9000 and σ=1000√15σ=100015
approximately normal with μ = 9000 and σ = 1000
left skewed
right skewed

(c) What is the probability that the mean lifespan of 15 randomly chosen light bulbs is more than 10,500 hours?
(please round to four decimal places)

Compact fluorescent bulbs are much more efficient at producing light than are ordinary incandescent bulbs. They initially cost much more, but last far longer and use much less electricity. According to one study of these bulbs, a compact bulb that produces as much light as a 100 W W incandescent bulb uses only 23.0 W W of power. The compact bulb lasts 10000 hours, on the average, and costs $ $ 11.00, whereas the incandescent bulb costs only $ $...

A manufacturer of light bulbs claims that the average lifetime of one of their bulbs is more than 900 hours. A consumer advocacy group wants to test this claim. They obtained a simple random sample of 61 bulbs and timed how long they took to burn out. They obtained a sample mean of 907.5 hours with a standard deviation of 16.5 hours. It’s your job to test the claim at the 5% significance level and determine if the manufacturer is...

A manufacturer of light bulbs claims that its light bulbs have a mean life of 1520 hours. If a random sample of 40 bulbs is tested and has an average life of 1500 hours and the standard deviation is 80 hours, is there sufficient evidence to claim that the mean life is different than the manufacturer's claim? Use alpha = 0.01. Calculate the test statistic. Calculate a confidence interval for the true mean light bulb life. Use the level of...

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...

A manufacturer claims that the mean lifetime of its fluorescent bulbs is 1000 hours. The lifetimes are normally distributed with a standard deviation of σ = 80 hours. A homeowner decides to test the manufacturer's claim; in a random sample of 40 bulbs, the mean lifetime is 980 hours. At a significance level of α = 0.05, does this data provide evidence to reject the manufacturer's claim? Show all 7 steps for p-value method.
