1. The average useful life of a random sample of 33 similar calculator batteries

made on a production line is found to be 99.5 hours continuous use, with variance 18.49
hours. Test the null hypothesis that the population mean lifetime is 100 hours against
the alternative that it is not equal to 100 hours. Use the 1% level of significance.

2. Eagle fuel advertises that it can produce a high gas mileage if it is used. A car
usually averages 10.75 km/L with a standard deviation of 1.2 km/L when driven on a
highway. In a study, thirty similar cars are sent on a road trip to test its mileage when
they run Eagle fuel. It turns out that the thirty cars averaged km/L. At the =
5% level of significance, is there sufficient evidence to suggest that Eagle fuel results in
a higher gas mileage?
Solution. (Hint: H0: =10.75; H0: >10.75).

11
- There is no sufficient evidence to suggest that Eagle fuel results in a higher

12
gas mileage, since the value of Z which is 0.25 is not significant at p<. 05.
