II. Evaluate the following showing the complete steps in Hypothesis Testing and ANOVA:

Problem #1: A manufacturer claims that the average lifetime of his lightbulbs is 3 years or 36
months. the standard deviation is 8 months. fifty bulbs are selected, and the average lifetime is
found to be 32 months. should the manufacturer's statement be rejected at α = 0.01?

1. Claim: The average lifetime of light bulbs is 3 years or 36 months.

2 H0 μ = 36 months (Claim)
H1 μ ≠ 36 months

3 α = 0.01

4 Tabular Value = 2.326, Two-Tailed, Z – Test

5 Compute:

͞
𝑧 = ơ/√
= /√
= -3.546

6 Decision: Reject H0 at α = 0.01, Since, -3.546 < -2.326 < 2.326

7 Conclusion: There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the average lifetime of light
bulbs is 3 years or 36 months.

Problem #2: A test on car breaking reaction times for men between 18 and 30 years old have
produced a mean and a standard deviation of 0.601 seconds and 0.123 seconds, respectively. when
40 male drivers of this age group were randomly selected and tested for their breaking reaction
times, a mean of 0.587 second came out. at the α=0.10 level of significance, test the claim of the
driving instructor that his graduates had faster reaction times.

1 Claim: The driving instructor claims that his graduates had faster reaction times.

2 H0 μ < 0.587 Minutes (Claim)

H1 μ > 0.587 Minutes

3 α = 0.10

4 Tabular Value = 1.282, One-Tailed (Right), Z – Test

5 Compute:

͞ . .
𝑧 = ơ/√

6 Decision: Accept H0 at α = 0.1, Since, 0.72 < 1.282

7 Conclusion: There is enough evidence to support the claim that the student of the driver
instructor had faster reaction time.

Problem #3: In order to increase customer service, a muffler repair shop claims its mechanics can
replace muffler in 12 minutes. A time management specialist selected six repair jobs and found
their mean time to be 11.6 minutes. the standard deviation of the sample was 2.1 minutes. at
α=0.025, is there enough evidence to conclude that the mean time in changing a muffler is less than
12 minutes?

1 Claim: A muffler repair shop claims its mechanics can replace muffler in 12 minutes.

2 H0 μ = 12 minutes (Claim)
H1 μ ≠ 12 minutes

3 α = 0.025

4 Tabular Value = 1.287 (Interpolation), Two-Tailed, Z – Test

α = 0.02 Tabular Value = 1.134
α = 0.03 Tabular Value = 1.440

5 Compute:

͞ .
𝑧 = ơ/√

6 Decision: Accept H0 at α = 0.025, Since, -1.287 < -0.4666 < 1.287

7 Conclusion: There is enough evidence to support the claim that the muffler can replace muffler
in 12 minutes.

Problem #4: Test the claim that 22% of senior medical students of a certain medical school prefer
pediatrics. Sample data consist of 100 randomly selected seniors of the medical school, with 20 of
them choosing pediatrics. Use 0.05 level of significance.

1 Claim: Test the claim that 22% of senior medical students of a certain medical school prefer
pediatrics.

2 H0 μ = 22% (Claim)
H1 μ ≠ 22%

3 α = 0.05

4 Tabular Value = 1.96, Two-Tailed

of a certain medical school prefer pediatrics.
