NeverReady batteries has engineered a newer, longer lasting AAA battery. The company claims this battery has an average life span of hours with a standard deviation of hours. Your statistics class questions this claim. As a class, you randomly select batteries and find that the sample mean life span is hours. If the process is working properly, what is the probability of getting a random sample of batteries in which the sample mean lifetime is hours or less? Is the company’s claim reasonable?
