(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 determine the reliability of the manufacturing process. State the null and alternative hypotheses of this situation.
(1 mark)
- If the manufacturing process was declared not to be working properly based on the sample result in part (ii) when the process is indeed working, explain what type of error would it be?
- Calculate the probability of the error described in part (iii).
- Can you use normal approximation to calculate the probability values in question (b) (i) and (iv)? Why/Why not?

5. A shipment of 50 light bulbs contains 10 defective light
bulbs. In order to test the quality of the shipment, a quality
control engineer selects 5 light bulbs at random.
(a) How many different samples are possible?
(b) What is the probability the engineer will select exactly two
defective light bulbs?
(c) The shipment will be rejected if at least one of the light
bulbs in the sample is defective. What is the probability the
sample will be rejected?...

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,...

A manufacturer of light bulbs finds that one light bulb model
has a mean life span of 1025 h with a standard deviation of 80 h.
What percent of these light bulbs will last as follows? (Round your
answers to one decimal place.)
(a) at least 970 h
%
(b) between 810 and 880 h

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...

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 firm rents light bulbs to consumers. The firm covers the cost
of the light bulb and replacing it every time it burns out. The
interest rate is 14%. The cost of producing a light bulb is √N
where N is the number of years the light bulb lasts.
What is the firm's present value cost of providing a lightbulb to a
consumer and replacing it everytime it burns out forever? Using
light bulbs that last 10 years.

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
2.identify region rejections on graph
3.identify standarized test statstics
4. interpret decision

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...

In a box of 12 light bulbs, it is known that 5 of them are
defective. That is, 5 are defective and 7 function properly. We
select 2 bulbs from the bag at random, without replacement. Find
the probability they both function properly. Show work. Round your
answer to 3 decimal places.
