QuestionConhlence intervals and Hypothesis Testing Hypothesis test for the population mean: Z test using p values 0/5
According to a report done by $S \&$ J Power, the mean lifetime of the light bulbs it manufactures is 42 months. A researcher for a consumer advocate group tests this by selecting 19 bulbs at random. For the bulbs in the sample, the mean lifetime is 36 months. It is known that the population standard deviation of the lifetimes is 9 months. Assume that the population is normally distributed. Can we conclude, at the 0.01 level of significance, that the population mean lifetime, $\mu$, of light bulbs made by this manufacturer differs from 42 months?
Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places, and round your responses as specified below. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis $H_{0}$ and the altemative hypothesis $H_{1}$. $$\begin{array}{l} H_{0}: \square \\ H_{1}: \square \end{array}$$ (b) Determine the type of test statistic to use. (Choose one) (c) Find the value of the test statistic. (Round to three or more decimal places.) $\square$ (d) Find the $p$-value. (Round to three or more decimal places.) $\square$ (e) Can we conclude that the population mean lifetime of light butbs made by this manufacturer differs from 42 months?
