QUESTION 2. (10 marks): A new light bulb is being considered for use in an office with computers.
It is decided that the new bulb will only be used if it has a mean lifetime of more than 500 hours. A
random sample of 40 bulbs is selected and placed on life test. The mean and standard deviation are
found to be 505 hours and 18 hours, respectively.
a. State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.
c. Locate the rejection region for the test using a 5% significance level OR Calculate the p-value
e. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the mean lifetime of the light bulbs
Good Luck
