Suppose you are a quality control manager at a manufacturing company that produces light bulbs. The company has recently made changes to the manufacturing process, and you want to investigate whether these changes have had a significant impact on the average lifespan of the bulbs. You collect a random sample of 30 light bulbs produced under the new process and find that the sample mean lifespan is 1200 hours with a sample standard deviation of 100 hours. Additionally, you collect a random sample of 35 light bulbs produced under the old process and find that the sample mean lifespan is 1180 hours with a sample standard deviation of 90 hours. Assuming that the population standard deviations are unknown but equal, test at a 5% significance level that the average lifespan of the light bulb has changed with the new manufacturing process.

An auditor takes a random sample of 880880 invoices from the 9510 invoices relating to the activities of a company in 2019. The sample mean value of the sampled invoices was £126 and the sample standard deviation was £58. Find a 99% confidence interval for the mean value of all the invoices for 2019. Round to 3 decimal places The records of the company states that the total income from the 9510 invoices was £1150710. The auditor's sample evidence does not support this stated total. True or false? What is the probability, rounded to 3 decimal places, that the company's income does not exceed the value in the records?
Two different brands of milk are randomly sampled, and the fat content in each bottle is determined. Twenty-six bottles of Brand A yielded an average fat content of 26 grams with a standard deviation of 5 grams, and 31 bottles of Brand B yielded an average fat content of 25.8 grams with a standard deviation of 7 grams. Test the hypothesis at the 10% level of significance that the variances are different.
A mobile company is innovating a new mobile phone and is interested how long it will take for a battery to charge fully. The standard deviation is known to be 15 minutes. The company wishes to test if the mean charging time is at most 30 minutes compared to the claim that it is more than 30 minutes. A random sample: of 35 mobile phones was selected and a mean charging time is more than 35 minutes. Can it be concluded that the mean charging time is not at most 30 minutes if the critical region is greater than 35 minutes?
A new computer chip design(A) is being compared to the current design(B).Fifty independent chips of each design are tested for speed at performing a certain task. The new computer chip (A) performed the task in 481.2 ms, on average, with a sample standard deviation of 14.3 ms. The current computer chip (B) performed the task in 495.6 ms, on average, with a sample standard deviation of 16.4 ms. Can you conclude, at a 5% significance level, that chip A performs this task faster than chip B?
A study was conducted that measured the total brain volume (TBV) (in mm³) of patients that had schizophrenia and patients that are considered normal. The first table contains the TBV of the non- schizophrenic patients and the second table contains the TBV of schizophrenia patients. Compute a 99% confidence interval for the difference in TBV of non-schizophrenic patients and patients with Schizophrenia. Prior studies say nothing about the equality of variances. Round to the nearest whole number.

For a new study conducted by a fitness magazine, 220 females were randomly selected. For each, the mean daily calorie consumption was calculated for a September-February period. A second sample of 260 females was chosen independently of the first. For each of them, the mean daily calorie consumption was calculated for a March-August period. During the September-February period, participants consumed a mean of 2385.8 calories daily with a standard deviation of 218. During the March-August period, participants consumed a mean of 2414.2 calories daily with a standard deviation of 267.5. The population standard deviations of daily calories consumed for females in the two periods can be estimated using the sample standard deviations, as the samples that were used to compute them were quite large. Construct a 90% confidence interval for −μ1μ2, the difference between the mean daily calorie consumption μ1 of females in September-February and the mean daily calorie consumption μ2 of females…
An expert reviews a sample of 10 scientific articles and records the following number of errors in each article: 0, 4, 2, 8, 2, 3, 1, 0, 5,7. Compute the mean, SS, variance, and standard deviation for this sample using the computational formula.
Suppose two proposed computer mouse designs were compared by recording wrist extension in degrees for 23 people who each used both mouse types. The difference in wrist extension was computed by subtracting extension for mouse type B from the wrist extension for mouse type A for each student. The mean difference was reported to be 8.81 degrees. Assume that it is reasonable to regard this sample of 23 people as representative of the population of computer users. (a) Suppose that the standard deviation of the differences was 10 degrees. Is there convincing evidence that the mean wrist extension for mouse type A is greater than for mouse type B? Use a 0.05 significance level. (Use a statistical computer package to calculate the P-value. Use μd = μA − μB. Round your test statistic to two decimal places, your df down to the nearest whole number, and your P-value to three decimal places.) t= df = P-value = State your conclusion. Fail to reject H0. We have convincing evidence that the mean…

2) The manufacturer of a certain brand of automobiles component claims that mean life of these component is 70 months. An independent agency wants to check this claim and took a random sample of 40 components and found that the mean life for this sample is 67 months with a standard deviation of 5 months. At 5% LOS, can we conclude that the mean life of these component is less than 70 months?
