Battery life A tablet computer manufacturer claims that its batteries last an average of 10.5 hours when playing videos. The quality-control department randomly selects 20 tablets from each day’s production and tests the fully charged batteries by playing a video repeatedly until the battery dies. The quality control department will discard the batteries from that day’s production run if they find convincing evidence that the mean battery life is less than 10.5 hours. Here are a dot plot and summary statistics of the data from one day:

a. State appropriate hypotheses for the quality-control department to test. Be sure to define your parameter.

b. Check if the conditions for performing the test in part (a) are met.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part a)H0:μ=10.5Ha:μ<10.5

Part b) Large sample condition is not satisfied.

Step by step solution

01

Part a) Step 1: Given information

The claim is that means is less than10.5

02

Part b) Step 2: The objective is to explain the state appropriate hypothesis for the quality-control department to test. 

The null hypothesis states that the population value is equal to the claim value: H0:μ=10.5

The null hypothesis or the alternative hypothesis is the claim. The null hypothesis asserts that the population means equals the value specified in the claim. If the claim is the null hypothesis, then the alternative hypothesis statement is the inverse of the null hypothesis.

H1:μ<10.5

localid="1654460033100" μis the mean battery lifetime.

Part b) Step 1: Given information

Given:

04

Part b) Step 2: The objective is to find the conditions for performing the test in part (a) are met

Random, independent (condition), and Normal/ Large sample are the three conditions.

Random: Satisfied because the tablets were chosen at random.

Independent: Satisfied, because the sample of 20 tablets represents less than 10%of the total tablet population.

Normal/large sample size: Dissatisfied because the sample size of 20 tablets is small and the distribution in the dot plot is skewed.

Because the Normal/Large sample condition is not met, a hypothesis test for the population mean is not appropriate.

Fonts and reading ease Does the use of fancy type fonts slow down the reading of text on a computer screen? Adults can read four paragraphs of a certain text in the common Times New Roman font in an average time of 22 seconds. Researchers asked a random sample of 24 adults to read this text in the ornate font named Gigi. Here are their times (in seconds):

Do these data provide convincing evidence that it takes adults longer than 22 seconds, on average, to read these four paragraphs in Gigi font?

The reason we use t procedures instead of z procedures when carrying out a test about a population mean is that

a. z requires that the sample size be large.

b. z requires that you know the population standard deviation σ

c. z requires that the data come from a random sample.

d. z requires that the population distribution be Normal.

e. z can only be used for proportions.

Significance tests A test of Ho:p=0.5versus Ha:p>0.5based on

a sample of size 200yields the standardized test statistic z=2.19. Assume that the conditions for performing inference are met.

a. Find and interpret the P-value.

b. What conclusion would you make at the α=0.01 significance level? Would

your conclusion change if you used α=0.05 instead? Explain your reasoning.

c. Determine the value of p^= the sample proportion of successes.

How much juice? One company’s bottles of grapefruit juice are filled by a machine that is set to dispense an average of 180 milliliters (ml) of liquid. The company has been getting negative feedback from customers about underfilled bottles. To investigate, a quality-control inspector takes a random sample of 40 bottles and measures the volume of liquid in each bottle. The mean amount of liquid in the bottles is 179.6 ml and the standard deviation is 1.3 ml. Do these data provide convincing evidence at theα=0.05significance level that the machine is underfilling the bottles?
