The lifespan of xenon metal halide arc-discharge bulbs for aircraft landing lights is normally distributed with a mean of 2,400 hours an a standard deviation of 570 hours. (a) If a new ballast system shows a mean life of 2,826 hours in a test on a sample of 9 prototype new bulbs, would you conclude that the new lamp's mean life exceeds the current mean life at a = 0.01? Yes No (b) What is the p-value? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.) p-value
