Answer:
Null hypothesis is
Alternative hypothesis is
Test Statistics z = 2.65
CONCLUSION:
Since test statistics is greater than critical value; we reject the null hypothesis. Thus, there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the modified components have a longer mean time between failures.
P- value = 0.004025
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Mean = 960 hours
Sample size n = 36
Mean population 937
Standard deviation = 52
Given that the mean time between failures is 937 hours. The objective is to determine if the mean time between failures is greater than 937 hours
Null hypothesis is
Alternative hypothesis is
Degree of freedom = n-1
Degree of freedom = 36-1
Degree of freedom = 35
The level of significance ∝ = 0.01
SInce the degree of freedom is 35 and the level of significance ∝ = 0.01;
from t-table t(0.99,35), the critical value = 2.438
The test statistics is :
Z = 2.65
The decision rule is to reject null hypothesis if test statistics is greater than critical value.
CONCLUSION:
Since test statistics is greater than critical value; we reject the null hypothesis. Thus, there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the modified components have a longer mean time between failures.
The P-value can be calculated as follows:
find P(z < - 2.65) from normal distribution tables
= 1 - P (z ≤ 2.65)
= 1 - 0.995975 (using the Excel Function: =NORMDIST(z))
= 0.004025
