In tests of a computer component, it is found that the mean time between failures is  909  hours. A modification is made which is supposed to increase reliability by increasing the time between failures. Tests on a sample of  25  modified components produce a mean time between failures of  955  hours. Using a  1%  level of significance, perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the mean time between failures for the modified components is greater than  909  hours. Assume that the population standard deviation is  53  hours.

In tests of a computer component, it is found that the mean time between failures is 

909

 hours. A modification is made which is supposed to increase reliability by increasing the time between failures. Tests on a sample of 

25

 modified components produce a mean time between failures of 

955

 hours. Using a 

1%

 level of significance, perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the mean time between failures for the modified components is greater than 

909

 hours. Assume that the population standard deviation is
