The quality-control manager at a compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL) factory needs to determine whether the mean life of a large shipment of CFLS is equal to 7550 hours. The population standard deviation is 1,120 hours. A random sample of 64 light bulbs indicates a sample mean life of 7,214 hours. a. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence that the mean life is different from 7550 hours? b. Compute the p-value and interpret its meaning. c. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean life of the light bulbs.
