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 idea?
2.Which set of ideas can she formulate for her research?
A. H0: µ = 950 and Ha: µ is not equal to 950
B. H0: µ = 950 and Ha: µ <950
C. H0: µ = 910 and Ha: µ <910
D. H0: µ = 910 and Ha: µ > 910
3.What significance level (α) do you suggest for this test?
A. Level of significance = 100
B. Level of significance = 0%
C. Level of significance = 95%
D. Level of significance = 99%
E. None of the above
4. Which one of the following is a correct conclusion based on the given data?
A. Reject H0. The mean service life of the bulbs is less than the expectation.
B. Do not reject H0. The mean service life of the bulbs is less than the expectation.
C. Reject H0. The mean service life of the bulbs is not less than the expectation
D. Do not reject H0. The mean service life of the bulbs is not less than the expectation
E. None of the above.

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...

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,...

The life span of 100 W light bulbs manufactured by a particular company follows a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 120 hours, and its average life time is guaranteed for a minimum of 800 hours. A delivery of 10,000 of light bulbs is sent to a wholesale store, and the quality control staff in the store randomly selected 50 bulbs to test the life time. The average life time of the sample is found out to be 760...

Stats Hw- Please Help 3. A company that manufactures compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL) claims that they will operate for a mean of 10,000 hours with a level of significance equal to 0.05. An engineer from the company performs a test to validate this claim. The hypotheses are: Null hypothesis: μ = 10,000 hours Alternate hypothesis: μ ≠ 10,000 hours The engineer does accelerated lifetime testing on 50 of these bulbs and finds that the mean lifetime is 9875 hours...

A mortgage specialist would like to analyze the average mortgage rates for Atlanta, Georgia. He collects data on the annual percentage rates (APR in %) for 30-year fixed loans as shown in the following table. If he is willing to assume that these rates are randomly drawn from a normally distributed population, can he conclude that the mean mortgage rate for the population exceeds 4.20%? Test the hypothesis at a 10% level of significance. (You may find it useful to...
