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.

If x is 50 then what is x4+44+3.5
lesantik [10]
The answer is:  " 10,047.5 " .
_______________________________
Explanation:
________________________________
Given:  " x⁴ + 44 + 3.5 " ;  and given:  "x = 50" ;

we can plug in "50" for "x" ; and solve:
________________________________________
       10⁴ + 44 + 3.5 ;

       =  10,000 + 44 + 3.5 ;

       =   10,047.5

A psychologist wants to know if the difficulty of a task influences our estimate of how long we spend working at it. She designs
Delicious77 [7]

Solution :

It is given that a psychologist wants to determine the difficulty of the task influences on the estimate of how long people spend working on it.

Now we have to describe a experiment by using a completely randomized design and learn the effect of the difficulty on the estimated time is by randomly assigning 15 students to a Group 1 of easy mazes and other 15 students to the second group 2 of hard mazes. And then we compare the time estimates of the two groups.
