ns of use. Fifty Bovano lamps are fitted with brand A light bulbs and 50 Bulbrite lamps are fitted with brand B light bulbs. Each light bulb is left on for 20,000 hours straight. Light bulb life is then measured for each bulb, and the average light bulb life for the two brands is compared. What is wrong with this experimental design?
