Let’s assume the null hypothesis that the quality of the two brands of bulbs do not differ by
much. Given x́ 1 = 1500, x́ 2 = 1530, s1 = 50, s2 = 60, n1 = 100, n2 = 100

x´1− x́ 2 1500−1530

Since, the value of z calculated here is greater than 1.96 at 5% level of significance, the null
hypothesis is rejected. Hence, the quality difference is significant between the two brands of
bulbs.
