The manufacturer of cell phone batteries wants to estimate the useful life of the battery (in thousands of hours). The estimate is to be within .15 (150) hours. Assume a 95 percent level of confidence and that the standard deviation of the useful life of the battery is 2.00 (2,000) hours. |
Determine the required sample size. (Round your answer to the next whole number.) |

Lifetimes of AAA batteries are approximately normally distributed. A manufacturer wants to estimate the standard deviation of the lifetime of the AAA batteries it produces. A random sample of 17 AAA batteries produced by this manufacturer lasted a mean of 11 hours with a standard deviation of 2.5 hours. Find a 95% confidence interval for the population standard deviation of the lifetimes of AAA batteries produced by the manufacturer. Then complete the table below.Carry your intermediate computations to at least...
a) Battery life for a hand-held computer is normally distrbuted and has a population standard deviation of 3 hours. Suppose you need to estimate a confidence interval estimate at the 95% level of confidence for the mean life of these batteries. Determine the sample size required to have a margin of error of 0.253 hours. Round up to the nearest whole number. b)The managers of a company are worried about the morale of their employees. In order to determine if...

A cell phone battery manufacturer claims that one of their batteries for a particular cell phone will outperform a competitor's equivalent brand. To establish this claim, a researcher selected samples of the two brands of batteries and perform accelerated tests on them in the lab under identical conditions. A random sample of 55 of the manufacturer's battery was selected and placed on test. A corresponding random sample of 55 of the competitor's battery was also put...
2 3 5 Lifetimes of AAA batteries are approximately normally distributed. A manufacturer wants to estimate the standard deviation of the lifetime of the AAA batteries it produces. A random sample of 15 AAA batteries produced by this manufacturer lasted a mean of 10.5 hours with a standard deviation of 2.4 hours. Find a 90% confidence interval for the population standard deviation of the lifetimes of AAA batteries produced by the manufacturer. Then complete the table below. Carry your intermediate...
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...
A phone manufacturer wants to compete in the touch screen phone market. He understands that the lead product has a battery life of just 5 hours. The manufacturer claims that while the new touch screen phone is more expensive, its battery life is more than twice as long as that of the leading product. In order to test the claim, a researcher samples 45 units of the new phone and finds that the sample battery life averages 10.5 hours with...

As batteries discharge, their voltage decreases. The manufacturer of a cell phone battery would like to maintain 90.0% of its initial voltage. If a battery has an initial voltage of 5.95 V and loses an average of 0.040 V per minute, how long will it remain at 90.0% or more of the initial voltage? In minutes
A manufacturer of batteries periodically selects samples of batteries. A recent sample of batteries powered a common flashlight for 212, 324, 299, 265, 199, 352, 381, and 392 hours. The standard deviation of the hours of battery life in this sample is
