Question
The​ quality-control manager at a compact fluorescent light bulb​ (CFL) factory needs to determine whether the mean life of a large shipment of CFLs is equal to
7,472
hours. The population standard deviation is
1,080 hours.
A random sample of
81
light bulbs indicates a sample mean life of
7,172
hours.
a. At the
0.05
level of​ significance, is there evidence that the mean life is different from 7,472 hours?
b. Compute the​ p-value and interpret its meaning.
c. Construct a
95​%
confidence interval estimate of the population mean life of the light bulbs.
d. Compare the results of​ (a) and​ (c). What conclusions do you​ reach?
 
 
a. Let
μ
be the population mean. Determine the null​ hypothesis,
H0​,
and the alternative​ hypothesis,
H1.
 
H0​:
μ=
H1​:
μ≠
What is the test​ statistic?
 
ZSTAT=
​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)
What​ is/are the critical​ value(s)?
 
 
​(Round to two decimal places as needed. Use a comma to separate answers as​ needed.)
 
What is the final​ conclusion?
 
A.
Fail to reject
H0.
There
is
sufficient evidence to prove that the mean life is different from
7,472
hours.
 
B.
Reject
H0.
There
is
sufficient evidence to prove that the mean life is different from
7,472
hours.
 
C.
Reject
H0.
There
is not
sufficient evidence to prove that the mean life is different from
7,472
hours.
 
D.
Fail to reject
H0.
There
is not
sufficient evidence to prove that the mean life is different from
7,472
hours.
b. What is the​ p-value?
 
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
Interpret the meaning of the​ p-value. Choose the correct answer below.
 
A.
Fail to reject
H0.
There
is not
sufficient evidence to prove that the mean life is different from
7,472
hours.
 
B.
Reject
H0.
There
is
sufficient evidence to prove that the mean life is different from
7,472
hours.
 
C.
Fail to reject
H0.
There
is
sufficient evidence to prove that the mean life is different from
7,472
hours.
 
D.
Reject
H0.
There
is not
sufficient evidence to prove that the mean life is different from
7,472
hours.
c. Construct a​ 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean life of the light bulbs.
 
?≤μ≤?
