This document contains a student's name, instructor, and schedule information for Module 28. It then lists 3 statistical hypothesis testing problems involving light bulb lifetimes, hamburger sodium content, and cigarette nicotine content. The problems provide sample data and ask the student to test claims about population means against alternatives using a 0.05 or 0.01 significance level.

Module 28
Exercise Set
Solve the following problems.
1. An electrical firm manufactures light bulbs that have a length of life that is approximately normally
distributed with a mean of 800 hours and a standard deviation of 40 hours. Test the null hypothesis that
µ=800 hours against the alternative µ≠ 800 hours if a random sample of 30 bulbs have an average of 700
hours. Use α= 0.05 level 0of significance.

2. According to researches, the human requirement of salt is 220 mg per day which is surpassed in most single
servings of ready-to-eat burgers. If a random sample of 20 hamburgers has a mean sodium content of
244 mg of sodium and a standard deviation of 24.5 mg, does this suggest at α=0.05 that the average sodium
content for single servings of hamburger is greater than 220 mg?
3. A random sample of 8 cigarettes of a certain brand has an average nicotine content of 4.2 mg and a
standard deviation of 1.4 mg. is this in line with the manufacturer’s claim that the average nicotine content
does not exceed by 4 mg? Use α=0.01 level of significance.
