Refer to the following information for Questions 22, and 23.

A random sample of 94 light bulbs had a mean life of x¯ = 587 hours. The standard
deviation of the lifetime of all such light bulbs is of o = 36 hours.

22. Construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the mean life, µ, of all light bulbs of this
type.
23. It was expected that the mean lifetime of the light bulbs was 600 hours. Do the results
contradict expectations? Explain your answer.

24. Consider the hypothesis test given by

H0 : µ = 50
H1 : µ > 50

In a random sample of 100 subjects, the sample mean is found to be x¯ = 53.4. Also, the
population standard deviation is o = 8

Determine the P-value for this test. Is there sufficient evidence to justify the rejection of
H0 ? Explain.

25. We perform the following hypothesis test of proportion of successes in a population.
H0 : p = 0.7 vs. H2 : p < 0.7.
In a sample of 100 items, we discover 63 successes.
What is the conclusion at the ? = 0.05 level? Explain your answer.

26. Given a sample size of 18, with sample mean 660.3 and sample standard deviation 95.9,
we perform the following hypothesis test.
H0 : µ = 700
H1: µ ? 700

Friday 29

The worker’s boss thinks the worker’s claims processing is sporadic and is not evenly
distributed throughout the week. At the a = 0.05 level, is there sufficient evidence to
conclude that the worker’s claims processing is sporadic?

Show all work – include the hypotheses, the computation of the test statistic, state the
critical value, and state the conclusion of the test.

30. Below is a compilation of student distribution in our four statistics classes from the
summer of 2009.

Course STAT 200 STAT 225 STAT 230 STAT 250
Frequency 249 71 133 47

At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that
2011’s enrollment distribution differs from the 2009 distribution?

Show all work – include the hypotheses, the computation of the test statistic, state the critical value, and state the conclusion of the test.

About the Solutions
The answers to Question 13, 14, and 17 are reproduced below. Please purchase the full solutions if you wish to use them.

13. Determine the expected value of x.

x P(x) x*P(x)
-2 0.15 -0.3
4 0.05 0.2
5 0.3 1.5
6 0.1 0.6
7 0.4 2.8

Mean 4.8

The expected value is found by adding the x*P(x) column. The calculated expected value is 4.8

14. Determine the standard deviation of x.

Answer:

x P(x) x*P(x) (x-mean)^2 * P(x)
-2 0.15 -0.3 6.936
4 0.05 0.2 0.032
5 0.3 1.5 0.012
6 0.1 0.6 0.144
7 0.4 2.8 1.936

Stan Dev 3.009983389

The standard deviation is found by taking the “square root” of the summation of the column: (x-mean)^2*P(x)

Here the calculated standard deviation is 3.00998

17. What is the expected value of X? What is the standard deviation of X?

Expected Value= 15*.2
=3

Standard Deviation= Squareroot(15*.2*.8)
=1.549
