B. Write the 5-step solution for the following problem. You can use any approach (the critical value
approach or the p-value approach) convenient to you.
An electrical company claims that the lives of the light bulbs it manufactures are normally distributed
with a mean of 1000 hours and a standard deviation to 100 hours. Test if the sample mean is
significantly different from 1000 hours if a random sample of 100 bulbs produced by his company as a
mean life of 980 hours use 0.05 level of significance.
Data
Null hypothesis 𝜇= 1000
Level of Significance 0.05
Sample size 100
Sample Mean 980
Sample Standard Deviation 100

Lower Critical Value -1.959962787
Upper Critical Value 1.959962787
P- Value 0.045500124
reject the null hypothesis
5-Step Solution
1. Ho : 𝜇 = 1000 : there is no significant difference from 1000 hours if a random sample of 100 bulbs
produced by his company as a mean life of 980 hours.
Ha : 𝜇 <1000 : there is a significant difference from 1000 hours if a random sample of 100 bulbs
produced by his company as a mean life of 980 hours.
2. ɑ =0.05 ; p-value= 0.045500124; 2-T non directional
3. Decision Rule: Reject Ho since
p- value (0.045500124)< (0.05)
4. Decision = reject the null hypothesis
because p-value of 0.045500124 is less than the level of significance which is 0.05.
Conclusion : Therefore, there is a significant difference from 1000 hours if a random sample of 100
bulbs produced by his company as a mean life of 980 hours.
C. The reduce the number of the plant accidents, LVN trading implemented a new safety program for
employees. To determine its effectiveness the number of accidents 10 weeks before and after the
program was implemented were recorded.

Lower Critical Value
Upper Critical Value 1.833112923
P- Value 0.0097995169
5-Step Solution
1. Ho: = 10 :There is no significant difference in the number of accidents before and after the
implementation of the safety program.
Ha: < 10_: There is a significant difference in the number of accidents before and after the
implementation of the safety program
2. a =0.05; p-value=0.0097995169
3. Decision Rule: Reject Ho since
p- value (0.0097995169)< (0.05)
4. Decision = reject the null hypothesis
because p-value of 0.0097995169 is less than the level of significance which is 0.05.
Conclusion : Therefore, there is a significant difference in the number of accidents before and after
the implementation of the safety program
D. Fast food restaurants, the drive through window is an increasing source of revenue. The chain that
offers the fastest service is considered most likely to attract additional customers. The following is the
time in seconds that a customer is served by the top three password restaurants which offer drive
through services. Use a =0.05 level of significance to test if there is a significant difference on the
length of service of the top three fast food chains.
