  Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Question 2

D size batteries produced by MNM Corporation have had a life expectancy of 87 hours. Because of an improved production process, the company believes that there has been an INCREASE in the life expectancy of its D size batteries. A sample of 36 batteries showed an average life of 88.5 hours. Assume from past information that it is known that the standard deviation of the population is 9 hours.
 a. Use a .01 level of significance, and test to determine if there has been an increase in the life expectancy of the D size batteries.
 b. What is the p-value associated with the sample results? What is your conclusion, based on the p-value?

Answer to Question 1

F

Answer to Question 2

a. H0:   87
Ha:  > 87 z = 1; therefore do not reject H0 . There is not sufficient evidence at  = .01 to conclude that there has been an increase in the life expectancy in the D size batteries.
b. p-value = 0.1587; therefore, do not reject H0 (same conclusion as part a)

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
