Essay

Assume that a simple random sample has been selected from a normally distributed population. Find the test statistic, P-value, critical value(s), and state the final conclusion.
-In tests of a computer component, it is found that the mean time between failures is 520 hours. A modification is made which is supposed to increase the time between failures. Tests on a random sample of 10 modified components resulted in the following times (in hours)between failures. $$\begin{array} { l l l l l } 518 & 548 & 561 & 523 & 536 \\499 & 538 & 557 & 528 & 563\end{array}$$ At the 0.05 significance level, test the claim that for the modified components, the mean time between failures is greater than 520 hours.
