Question

An advertisement claims that the average service life of a premium battery exceeds that of
ordinary battery by at least 1.5 years. To test his claim, 32 units of each type of battery are
tested under the same conditions. Premium battery had an average service life of 3.5 years
while ordinary battery had an average service life of 2.15 years. Test the advertisement’s claim
using a 0.05 level of significance. Assume normal distribution for each sample with standard
deviations of 0.25 and 0.20 years, respectively.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
