Batteries produced by a manufacturing company have had a life expectancy of 135 hours. Because of an improved production process

, the company believes that there has been an increase in the life expectancy of its batteries. A sample of 42 batteries showed an average life of 140 hours. From past information it is known the standard deviation of the population is 24 hours. Test to determine whether there has been an increase in the life expectancy of batteries. What is the test statistic and what conclusion can be made at the.10 level of significance? a. z =.208; Do not reject the null hypothesis b. z =.088; Do not reject the null hypothesis c. z = 1.35; Reject the null hypothesis d. z = 2.33; Reject the null hypothesis

Answer:  c. z = 1.35; Reject the null hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

Let \mu be the average life expectancy of its batteries.

As per given , we have

Null hypothesis : H_0 : \mu =135

Alternative hypothesis : H_a : \mu >135

Since H_a is right-tailed and population standard deviation is also known, so we perform right-tailed z-test.

Test statistic : \dfrac{\overlien{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

where, n= sample size

\overlien{x}= sample mean

\mu= Population mean

\sigma=population standard deviation

For n=42,\ \overline{x}=140\ \&\ \sigma=24, we have

z=\dfrac{140-135}{\dfrac{24}{\sqrt{42}}}=1.35015431217\approx1.35

Critical one-tailed test value for 0.10 significance level :

z_{0.1}=1.28

 Decision : Since critical z value (1.28) < test statistic (1.35), so we reject the null hypothesis .

[When critical value is less than the test statistic value , we reject the null hypothesis .]

Tom's age is 5 more than twice Dic's age.
kvasek [131]
If we break the answer down, we can solve this pretty easily.
We can represent Dic's age with x.
Tom's age is 5 MORE (+5) than TWICE (2x) Dic's age (x)
Therefore, our answer is 5+2x (Five more than twice Dic's age)

The correct answer is C: 5+2x
