Essay

Assume that a simple random sample has been selected from a normally distributed population and test the given claim. Use either the traditional method or P-value method as indicated. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, critical value(s) or P-value (or range of P -values) as appropriate, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. A light-bulb manufacturer advertises that the average life for its light bulbs is 900 hours. A random sample of 15 of its light bulbs resulted in the following lives in hours.
$\begin{array} { l l l l l l l l } 995 & 590 & 510 & 539 & 739 & 917 & 571 & 555 \\916 & 728 & 664 & 693 & 708 & 887 & 849 &\end{array}$
At the 10 % significance level, test the claim that the sample is from a population with a mean life of 900 hours. Use the P-value method of testing hypotheses.
