A company that produces cell phones claims its standard phone battery lasts longer on average than other batteries in the market. To support this claim, the company publishes an ad reporting the results of a recent experiment showing that under normal usage,their batteries last at least 35 hours. To investigate this claim, a consumer advocacy group asked the company for the raw data. The company sends the group the following results: 35, 34, 32, 31, 34, 34, 32, 33, 35, 55, 32, 31

Find the 95% CI for the mean battery life:

   What did you do with the outlier?

A national manufacturer of replacement shock absorbers claims that its product lasts longer than the type that the car manufacturer usually installs. To examine this claim independent samples of cars were equipped with the original (sample 1) and replacement shock absorbers (sample 2). The cars were then driven until the shock absorbers were no longer effective, and the number of kms was recorded in thousands. The 90% confidence interval for the difference in the average distance travelled was estimated as...

A company claims their new cell phone model has a mean battery life of 60 hours. A consumer group suspects this claim is exaggerated so they record the battery life of 100 randomly selected cell phones of this model and conduct a hypothesis test. The sample gives a mean life of 58 hours and a standard deviation of 10. Use this information to answer the following questions. a. What is the null hypothesis about the population mean battery life? b....
