Batteries. We work for the Watchdog for the Consumer consumer advocacy group. We’ve been asked to look at a battery company that claims its batteries last an average of 100 hours under normal use. There have been several complaints that the batteries don t last that long, so we decide to test them. To do this, we select 16 batteries and run them until they die. They lasted a mean of 97 hours, with a standard deviation of 12 hours.
a) One of the editors of our newsletter (who does not know statistics) says that 97 hours is a lot less than the advertised 100 hours, so we should reject the company’s claim. Explain to him the problem with doing that.
b) What are the null and alternative hypotheses?
c) What assumptions must we make in order to proceed with inference?
d) At a 5% level of significance, what do you conclude?
e) Suppose that, in fact, the average life of the company s batteries is only 98 hours. Has an error been made in part d? If so, what kind?
