Hypothesis Testing: Erwin L. Medina

The document presents 4 problems involving hypothesis testing using t-tests, z-tests, and p-values. Problem 1 involves testing the average lifespan of car batteries. Problem 2 tests the average amount of fluid dispensed by a machine. Problem 3 tests the average weight of town residents. Problem 4 tests the average time until engine or transmission malfunctions in cars under warranty. Each problem asks the reader to state the null and alternative hypotheses and determine if there is enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at given confidence or significance levels.

HYPOTHESIS

TESTING

E RW I N L. M ED I N A
PROBLEM 1 (T-test)
A company manufactures car batteries with an average life span of 2 or more years. An engineer
believes this value to be less. Using 10 samples, he measures the average life span to be 1.8 years
with a standard deviation of 0.15. (a) State the null and alternative hypotheses. (b) At a 99%
confidence level, is there enough evidence to discard the null hypothesis?

PROBLEM 2 (Z-test)
A factory has a machine that dispenses 80 mL of fluid in a bottle. An employee believes the
average amount of fluid is not 80 mL. Using 40 samples, he measures the average amount
dispensed by the machine to be 78 mL with a standard deviation of 2.5. (a) State the null and
alternative hypotheses. (b) At a 95% confidence level, is there enough evidence to support the
idea that the machine is not working properly?

PROBLEM 3 (p-value)
The average weight of all residents in town XYZ is 168 lbs. A nutritionist believes the true mean
to be different. She measured the weight of 36 individuals and found the mean to be 169.5 lbs
with a standard deviation of 3.9. (a) State the null and alternative hypotheses. (b) At a 95%
confidence level, is there enough evidence to discard the null hypothesis? (Use the p-value
method)

PROBLEM 4 (p-value)
A factory manufactures cars with a warranty of 5 years on the engine and transmission. An
engineer believes that the engine or transmission will malfunction in less than 5 years. He tests a
sample of 40 cars and find the average time to be 4.8 years with a standard deviation of 0.50. (a)
State the null and alternative hypotheses. (b) At a 2% significance level, is there enough evidence
to support the idea that the warranty should be revised?
