Definitions:

Mean Lifetime

The average length of time that an entity (like a product or component) is expected to last under specified conditions.

Critical Value(s)

Critical values are threshold values that define regions where the test statistic leads to the rejection of the null hypothesis.

Significance Level

The probability of rejecting the null hypothesis in a statistical test when it is actually true, used as a threshold for determining the statistical significance of a result.

Sample Mean

The average value of a sample set of numbers, calculated by summing all observations and dividing by the number of observations.
