Problem Solving. Show complete solution. Indicate your final answer.

1. The manufacturer of Longlife Lithium Batteries claims that the average life of their new battery, XLS, is
at least 5 hours (or 300 minutes) A random sample of 81 batteries tested showed that the sample mean is
292 minutes with a standard deviation of 25 minutes. Conduct a test at 1% level of significance to check
the validity of this claim. Compute and interpret the p-value for this test.

2. A survey is being planned to estimate the mean average annual income of residents in a city. The
researcher wishes to be 95% confident that the sample mean is correct to within $400 of the true
population mean income. A previous study has shown that the population standard deviation is $1500.
How large a sample should be taken?

3. Production specifications on a machine requires a component part to have a standard deviation of no

more than 0.022 cm in length. Suppose a random sample of 20 component parts produced on this
machine results in a sample standard deviation of 0.019 cm. At .05 level of significance, is there
evidence that that the machine is working properly.
