A manufacturer wants to increase the shelf life of a line of cake mixes. Past records indicate that the average shelf life of the mix is 216 days. After a revised mix has been developed, a sample of nine boxes of cake mix had a mean of 217.222 days and a standard deviation of 1.2019 days. What is the computed value of the test statistic?
Solution:
Given in the question
Average shelf life of the mix(Population mean) = 216
Sample size (n) = 9
Sample mean = 217.222
Sample standard deviation = 1.2019
Test stat value can be calculated as
Test stat value = (Sample mean - Population mean)/Sample standard
deviation/sqrt(n)
Tets stat = (217.222 - 216)/1.2019/sqrt(9) = 1.222/0.4006 =
3.05
So Computed value of test statistic = 3.05

A manufacturer wants to increase the shelf life of a line of cake mixes. Past records indicate that the average shelf life of the mix is 216 days. After a revised mix has been developed, a sample of nine boxes of cake mix gave these shelf lives (in days): 215, 217, 218, 219, 216, 217, 217, 218, and 218. Using α = 0.025, has the shelf life of the cake mix increased? - No, because computed t lies in the...
A manufacturer claims his light bulbs have a mean life of 1800 hours. A consumer group wants to test if their light bulbs do not last as long as the manufacturer claims. They tested a random sample of 270 bulbs and found them to have a sample mean life of 1790 hours and a sample standard deviation of 60 hours. Assess the manufacturer's claim. a) What is the null hypothesis? Correct: y = 1800 Incorrect x = 1800 Incorrect x...
The mean life of a battery used in a digital clock is 305 days. The lives of the batteries follow a normal distribution. The battery was recently modified to last longer. A sample of 20 of the modified batteries had a mean life of 308 days with a standard deviation of 12 days. A hypothesis test is undertaken to determine whether the modification increased the battery life. What is the value of the test statistic for the hypothesis test? In...
A manufacturer claims his light bulbs have a mean life of 2000 hours. A consumer group wants to test if their light bulbs do not last as long as the manufacturer claims. They tested a random sample of 210 bulbs and found them to have a sample mean life of 1980 hours and a sample standard deviation of 50 hours. Assess the manufacturer's claim. a) What is the null hypothesis? Ou = 2000 O x = 2000 Ox< 2000 Ou...
A manufacturer claims his light bulbs have a mean life of 1800 hours. A consumer group wants to test if their light bulbs do not last as long as the manufacturer claims.

A phone manufacturer wants to compete in the touch screen phone market. Management understands that the leading product has a less than desirable battery life. They aim to compete with a new touch screen phone that is guaranteed to have a battery life more than two hours longer than the leading product. A recent sample of 120 units of the leading product provides a mean battery life of 5 hours and 40 minutes with a standard deviation of 30 minutes. A...
Clearly choc -D size batteries produced by MNM Corporation have had a life expectancy of 87 hours. Because of an improved production process, it is believed that there has been an increase in the life expectancy of its size batteries. A sample of 36 batteries showed an average life of 88.5 hours. Assume from past information that it is known that the standard deviation of the population is 9 hours. What is the p-value associated with the sample results? Select...
The
z-tests
Help with this page is greatly appreciated. I dont understand
how to show a full diagram. Thanks in advance :)
The z-test 10.1 Assume that a treatment does have an effect and that the treatment effect is being evaluated with a z hypothesis test. If all factors are held constant, how is the outcome of the hypothesis test influenced by sample size? To answer this question, do the following two tests and compare the results. For both tests,...
