An inventor has developed a new, energy-efficient lawn mower engine. He claims that the engine will run continuously for 330 minutes on a single gallon of regular gasoline. From his stock of engines,the inventor selects a random sample of 1100 engines for testing. The engines run for an average of 329.97 minutes, with a standard deviation of 26.42 minutes. Test the hypothesis that the mean run time is significantly different at a 0.05 level of significance. The null and alternative hypothesis would be:   H0:μ=330H0:μ=330 H1:μ>330H1:μ>330 H0:p=82.5H0:p=82.5 H1:p<82.5H1:p<82.5 H0:p=82.5H0:p=82.5 H1:p>82.5H1:p>82.5 H0:μ=330H0:μ=330 H1:μ<330H1:μ<330 H0:μ=330H0:μ=330 H1:μ≠330H1:μ≠330 H0:p=82.5H0:p=82.5 H1:p≠82.5H1:p≠82.5 The test is:   two-tailed left-tailed right-tailed The test statistic is:  (to 2 decimals) The p-value is:  (to 4 decimals) Based on this we: Reject the null hypothesis Fail to reject the null hypothesis

Question
An inventor has developed a new, energy-efficient lawn mower engine. He claims that the engine will run continuously for 330 minutes on a single gallon of regular gasoline. From his stock of engines,the inventor selects a random sample of 1100 engines for testing. The engines run for an average of 329.97 minutes, with a standard deviation of 26.42 minutes. Test the hypothesis that the mean run time is significantly different at a 0.05 level of significance.

The null and alternative hypothesis would be:

 

H0:μ=330H0:μ=330
H1:μ>330H1:μ>330
H0:p=82.5H0:p=82.5
H1:p<82.5H1:p<82.5
H0:p=82.5H0:p=82.5
H1:p>82.5H1:p>82.5
H0:μ=330H0:μ=330
H1:μ<330H1:μ<330
H0:μ=330H0:μ=330
H1:μ≠330H1:μ≠330
H0:p=82.5H0:p=82.5
H1:p≠82.5H1:p≠82.5


The test is:

 

two-tailed
left-tailed
right-tailed


The test statistic is:  (to 2 decimals)

The p-value is:  (to 4 decimals)

Based on this we:
  • Reject the null hypothesis
  • Fail to reject the null hypothesis
