Problem 3.26.

Three brands of batteries are under study. It is suspected that the lives (in weeks) of the three brands are different. Five randomly selected batteries of each brand are tested with the following results:

	Weeks of Life
Brand 1	Brand 2	Brand 3
100	76	108
96	80	100
92	75	96
96	82	100
92	82	100

a) Are the lives of these brands of batteries different?

b) Analyze the residuals from this experiment.

c) Construct a 95 percent conﬁdence interval estimate on the mean life of battery brand 2. Construct a 99 percent conﬁdence interval estimate on the mean difference between the lives of battery brands 2 and 3.

d) Which brand would you select for use? If the manufacturer will replace without charge any battery that fails in less than 85 weeks, what percentage would the company expect to replace?

2. A researcher wants to study the average lifetime of a certain brand of batteries (in hours). In testing the hypotheses, H0: μ = 950 hours vs. H1: μ ≠ 950 hours, a random sample of 25 batteries is drawn from a normal population whose standard deviation is 200 hours. Calculate β, the probability of a Type II error when μ = 1000 and α = 0.10.

At a larger grocery store, some food is sold under the brands A, B and C. Historically, sales account for 60% of brand A, 30% of brand B and 10% of brand C. Recently, a sample survey was conducted where 200 customers had to answer on a survey, and of these customers bought 110 brand A, 55 brand B and 35 brand C. The investigation provides evidence that the percentages for the three brands can different from the historical proportions?...
