Ho: mean = 1400
Ha: mean < 1400
Z = (score-mean)/SEm
SEm = SD/√n
Find table in the back of your statistics text labeled something like "areas under normal distribution" to find the proportion/probability related to the Z score.
A manufacturer claims that the mean lifetime of its lithium batteries is 1400 hours. A homeowner selects 25 of these batteries and finds the mean lifetime to be 1380 hours with a standard deviation of 80 hours. Test the manufacturers claim. Use alpha = 0.05. Round the test statistic to the nearest thousandth. Write the null and alternative hypotheses. Use the p-value method to vote for the null or the alternative hypothesis.
