A manufacturer produces light bulbs that have a mean life of at least 500 hours when the production process is working properly.

Based on past experience, the population standard deviation is 50 hours and the light bulb life is normally distributed. The operations manager stops the production process if there is evidence that the population mean light bulb life is below 500 hours. if you select a sample of 100 light bulbs and find mean bulb life is 490 hours. Perform the hypothesis test at the significance level of 0.01. Referring to Scenario 9-10, what is the test statistic

Answer:

We conclude that the population mean light bulb life is at least 500 hours at the significance level of 0.01.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a manufacturer produces light bulbs that have a mean life of at least 500 hours when the production process is working properly. The population standard deviation is 50 hours and the light bulb life is normally distributed.

You select a sample of 100 light bulbs and find mean bulb life is 490 hours.

Let \mu = <u><em>population mean light bulb life.</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \geq 500 hours      {means that the population mean light bulb life is at least 500 hours}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu < 500 hours     {means that the population mean light bulb life is below 500 hours}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>One-sample z test statistics</u> as we know about the population standard deviation;

                           T.S. =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \bar X = sample mean bulb life = 490 hours

           σ = population standard deviation = 50 hours

           n = sample of light bulbs = 100

So, <u><em>the test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{490-500}{\frac{50}{\sqrt{100} } }

                                     =  -2

The value of z test statistics is -2.

<u>Now, at 0.01 significance level the z table gives critical value of -2.33 for left-tailed test.</u>

Since our test statistic is higher than the critical value of z as -2 > -2.33, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which <u>we fail to reject our null hypothesis.</u>

Therefore, we conclude that the population mean light bulb life is at least 500 hours.

Kiran scored 36 baskets in 1 week. She scored 1/2 of the baskets on the weekend. She scored 1/4 of them on Tuesday, she scored 1
notka56 [123]

Answer:

6 baskets did Kiran score on Thursday

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the statement:

Kiran scored 36 baskets in 1 week.

On weekend she scored = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 36 = 18 baskets.

She scored 1/4 of them on Tuesday

⇒On Tuesday she scored = \frac{1}{4} \cdot 36 = 9 baskets

She scored 1/12 of them on Wednesday

⇒On Wednesday she scored = \frac{1}{12} \cdot 36 = 3 baskets.

Then;

She scored = On Weekend + On Tuesday + On Wednesday = 18+9+3 = 30 baskets.

Rest on Thursday she scored = 36 - 30 = 6 baskets.

Therefore, 6 baskets did Kiran score on Thursday
