Answer:

a. At the 0.05 level of significance,  there is evidence that the mean life is different from 6,500 hours.

b. The p value= ≈ 0.00480 for z- test which is less than 0.05 and H0 is rejected .

The p value= 0.006913 for t- test which is less than 0.05 and H0 is rejected for 49 degrees of freedom.

c. CI [6583.336 ,6816.336]

d.  The range of CI [6583.336 ,6816.336] tells that the cfls having a different mean life lie in this range.

Step-by-step explanation:

Population mean = u= 6500 hours.

Population standard deviation = σ=500 hours.

Sample size =n= 50

Sample mean =x`=  6,700 hours

Sample standard deviation=s=  600 hours.

Critical values, where P(Z > Z) =∝ and P(t >) =∝

Z(0.10)=1.282  

Z(0.05)=1.645  

Z(0.025)=1.960  

t(0.01)(49)= 1.299

t(0.05)= 1.677  

t(0.025,49)=2.010

Let the null and alternate hypotheses be

H0: u = 6500 against the claim Ha: u ≠ 6500

Applying Z test

Z= x`- u/ s/√n

z= 6700-6500/500/√50

Z= 200/70.7113

z= 2.82=2.82

Applying  t test

t= x`- u /s/√n

t= 6700-6500/600/√50

t= 2.82

a. At the 0.05 level of significance,  there is evidence that the mean life is different from 6,500 hours.

Yes we reject H0  for z- test as it falls in the critical region,at the 0.05 level of significance, z=2.82 > z∝=1.645

For t test  we reject H0   as it falls in the critical region,at the 0.05 level of significance, t=2.82 > t∝=1.677 with n-1 = 50-1 = 49 degrees of freedom.

b. The p value= ≈ 0.00480 for z- test which is less than 0.05 and H0 is rejected .

The p value= 0.006913 for t- test which is less than 0.05 and H0 is rejected for 49 degrees of freedom.

c. The 95 % confidence interval of the population mean life is estimated by

x` ±  z∝/2  (σ/√n )

6700± 1.645 (500/√50)

6700±116.336

6583.336 ,6816.336

d. The range of CI [6583.336 ,6816.336] tells that the cfls having a different mean life lie in this range.
