A popular brand of light bulb is advertised as having a mean life of 1500 hours. A sample of 40 of these bulbs provides an average life of 1428.3 hours. The researcher is interested in finding evidence at the .01 level that the mean life is lower than adverstised. Assume that the population standard deviation is 250 hours.
Which of the following hypotheses correct expresses the question of interest? H0: p=0.9, HA: p≠0.9 H0: μ≥1500, HA: μ<1500 H0: μ ≤1500, HA: μ >1500 H0: σ≤250, HA: σ<250 H0: σ≤250, HA: σ>250
What is the value of the test statistic?
What is the p-value (or any value in its range)?
Which of the following is(are) the correct critical value(s)?

A BLS report indicates that 44% of American workers invest in IRAs. A current study finds 460 out of 1000 surveyed workers have invested in an IRA. The researcher is interested in evidence at the .05 level that the fraction of workers investing in IRAs has changed. Which of the following pairs of hypotheses correctly expresses the question of interest? H0: μ=.44, HA: μ≠.44 H0: p≤.44, HA: p>.44 H0: σ≤1000, HA: σ<1000 H0: p=.44, HA: p≠.44 H0: σ≤480, HA: σ>480...
A light bulb manufacturer guarantees that the mean life of a certain type of light bulb is at least 753 hours. A random sample of 20 light bulbs has a mean life of 732 hours. Assume the population is normally distributed and the population standard deviation is 61 hours. At α=0.02, do you have enough evidence to reject the manufacturer's claim? Complete parts (a) through (e). (a) Identify the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis. A. H0: μ<732 (claim) Ha: μ≥732...
The life expectancy of a particular brand of light bulbs is normally distributed with a mean of 1500 hours and a standard deviation of 75 hours. What is the probability that a bulb will last between 1500 and 1650 hours?
The mean life of a particular brand of light bulb is 1200 hours and the standard deviation is 75 hours. Tests show that the life of the bulb is approximately normally distributed. What is the range of hours that approximately 68% of the bulbs will last?
A light bulb manufacturer claims that the mean life of a certain type of light bulb is 750 hours. If a random sample of 36 light bulbs has a mean life of 725 hours with a standard deviation of 60 hours. Use a=0.05a. State the null and alternative hypotheses.b. State the Type I and Type II errors.c. Find the critical value. Do you have enough evidence to reject the manufacturer’s claim?d. Find the p-value.e. Construct a 95% confidence interval for...
A light bulb manufacturer guarantees that the mean life of a certain type of light bulb is at least 775 hours. A random sample of 23 light bulbs has a mean life of 763 hours. Assume the population is normally distributed and the population standard deviation is 64 hours. At alpha equals 0.08, do you have enough evidence to reject the manufacturer's claim? Complete parts (b) through (d) (b) Identify the critical value(s). Use technology. (c) Identify the standardized test...
A light bulb manufacturer guarantees that the mean life of a certain type of light bulb is at least 743 hours. A random sample of 21 light bulbs has a mean life of 717 hours. Assume the population is normally distributed and the population standard deviation is 64 hours. At a = 0.05, do you have enough evidence to reject the manufacturer's claim? Complete parts (a) through (e) (a) Identify the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis. O A. Ho: $717...
A manufacturer of light bulbs advertises that, on average, its long-life bulb will last more than 5500hours. To test this claim, a statistician took a random sample of 90 bulbs and measured the amount of time until each bulb burned out. The mean lifetime of the sample of bulbs is 5551 hours and has a standard deviation of 420 hours. Can we conclude with 99% confidence that the claim is true? Fill in the requested information below. (a) The value...
1.The average life of light bulbs produced by SABA Electric Co. is expected to be normally distributed with the mean service life of 950 hours and standard deviation of 100 hours. A random sample of 100 bulbs is tested and it has a mean life of 910 hours. Can researcher conclude that the mean service life of the bulbs is less than the expectation? H0 is null hypothesis, and Ha is alternative hypothesis. Which method can researcher use to check...
The life in hours of a 75-watt light bulb is known to be normally distributed with σ = 27 hours. A random sample of 20 bulbs has a mean life of x Overscript bar EndScripts = 1015 hours. Suppose that we wanted the total width of the two-sided confidence interval on mean life to be six hours at 95% confidence. What sample size should be used? Round up the answer to the nearest integer.
