A battery pack used in a medical device needs to be recharged about every 5 hours. A random sample of 20 battery packs is selected and subjected to a life test. The average life of these batteries is 5.05 hours with standard deviation ?=0.3 hours. Assume that battery life is normally distributed. Is there evidence to support the claim that mean battery life is more than 5 hours? Use ?=0.01.
a. Use P-value approach to test the hypothesis.
b. Use t-test to test the hypothesis.
c. Use confidence interval to test the hypothesis
d. If the true mean life is 5.1 hours, what is the type II error?
A battery pack used in a medical device needs to be recharged about every 5 hours.
A random sample of 20 battery packs is selected and subjected to a life test.
The average life of these batteries is 5.05 hours with standard deviation ?=0.3 hours.
The battery life is normally distributed.
Here n=20,
=5.05, ?=0.3,
Here we have to test if the mean battery life is more than 5 hours i.e our hypothesis of chief interest are:
Null Hypothesis(H0):mean battery life ()=5 hours
vs
Alternative Hypothesis(H1):mean battery life > 5 hours.
