Suppose that in Exercise 4-42 we wanted to be 95% confident that the error in estimating the mean life is less than 5 hours. What sample size should we use?
Exercise 4-42
The life in hours of a thermocouple used in a furnace is known to be approximately normally distributed, with standard deviation σ = 20 hours. A random sample of 15 thermocouples resulted in the following data: 553, 552, 567, 579, 550, 541, 537, 553, 552, 546, 538, 553, 581, 539, 529.
(a) Is there evidence to support the claim that mean life exceeds 540 hours? Use a fixed-level test with α = 0.05.
(b) What is the P-value for this test?
(c) What is the β-value for this test if the true mean life is 560hours?
(d) What sample size would be required to ensure that β does not exceed 0.10 if the true mean life is 560 hours?
(e) Construct a 95% one-sided lower CI on the mean life.
(f) Use the CI found in part
(e) to test the hypothesis.
