A light-bulb manufacturer advertises that the average life for its light bulbs is 900 hours.
A random sample of 15 of its light bulbs resulted in the following lives in hours.
995 590 510 539 739 917 571 555
916 728 664 693 708 887 849
At the 10% significance level, test the claim that the sample is from a population with a
mean life of 900 hours. Use the P-value method of testing hypotheses. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses,
test statistic, critical value(s) or P-value (or range of P-values) as appropriate, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.

Q6. A Light bulb manufacturer warrantees that the life
of bulbs has normal distribution with
average life (μ) of
400 hours and standard deviation (σ) 20 hours. A customer selects
one bulb
randomly from the
received shipment and installs it under the ceiling of the house.
The true
statement (s) that
the installed bulb will continue to burn for at least for 482 hours
is/are:
a. It is rare but
not impossible that bulb will continue...

What percent of these light bulbs will last as follows? (Round your
answers to one decimal place.)

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.

statistic.
Calculate a confidence interval
for the true mean light bulb life. Use the level of...

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.

BIG Corporation advertises that its light bulbs have a mean
lifetime, u , of 3000 hours. Suppose that we have reason to doubt
this claim and decide to do a statistical test of the claim. We
choose a random sample of light bulbs manufactured by BIG and find
that the mean lifetime for this sample is 2860 hours and that the
sample standard deviation of the lifetimes is hours. Based on this
information, answer the questions below. What are the...

A light bulb manufacturer guarantees that the mean life of a
certain type of light bulb is at least 720 hours. A random sample
of 51 light bulbs as a mean of 701.6 hours with a population
standard deviation of 62 hours. At an α=0.05, can you support the
company’s claim using the test statistic? claim is the alternative,
reject the null and support claim as test statistic (-2.12) is not
in the rejection region defined by the critical value...

A light bulb manufacturer guarantees that the mean life of a
certain type of light bulb is at least 757 hours. A random sample
of 22 light bulbs has a mean life of 729 hours. Assume the
population is normally distributed and the population standard
deviation is 65 hours. At a=0.02, do you have enough evidence to
reject the manufacturer's claim.
1. identify null and alternative hypothesis

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 new extended-life light bulb has an average life of 750 hours,
with a standard deviation of 50 hours. If the life of these light
bulbs approximates a normal distribution, about what percent of the
distribution will be between 650 hours and 850 hours?

(b) A light
bulb manufacturer requires no more than 10% defective light bulbs
if the manufacturing process is to be considered working.
Assuming the manufacturing process is producing only 10%
defectives, what is the probability that a sample of 20 randomly
selected light bulbs will contain exactly 2 defective
light bulbs?
Suppose the reliability of the manufacturing process is
unknown. In a random sample of 10 light bulbs 5 defectives
are found. Based on this result, the manufacturer wants to...
