Assume that the two populations of lifetimes are normally distributed and that the population variances are equal. Can we conclude, at the 0.01 level of
significance, that there is a difference in the mean lifetime of the light bulbs in the two brands?
Perform a two-tailed test. Then fill in the table below.
Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)
The null hypothesis:
H, :0
The alternative hypothesis:
D=0
OSO
The type of test statistic:
(Choose one)
The value of the test statistic:
(Round to at least three
decimal places.)
The two critical values at the
D and I
0.01 level of significance:
(Round to at least three
decimal places.)
Can we conclude that there is a difference in the
mean lifetimes of the light bulbs in the two brands?
O Yes
