The L. L. Bean catalog department that receives the majority of its orders by telephone conducted a study to determine how long customers were willing to wait on hold before ordering a product. The length of time was found to be a random variable best approximated by an exponential distribution with a mean equal to 3 minutes.
Question 3:
A researcher wants to study the average lifetime of a certain brand of rechargeable batteries (in hours). In testing the hypotheses, H0: = 950 hours vs. H1: 950 hours, a random sample of 25 rechargeable batteries is drawn from a normal population whose standard deviation is 200 hours.
Question 4:
A production filling operation has a historical standard deviation of 6 ounces. When in proper adjustment, the mean filling weight for the production process is 47 ounces. A quality control inspector periodically selects at random 36 containers and uses the sample mean filling weight to see if the process is in proper adjustment. Using a standardized test statistic, test the hypothesis at the 5% level of significance if the samples mean filling weight is 48.6 ounces.
