Question

A manufacturer of light bulbs is interested in understanding if there is a significant difference in the mean lifespan of two different types of bulbs. A random sample of 200 bulbs of Type A was taken, and their mean lifespan was found to be 2000 hours with a standard deviation of 100 hours. A random sample of 150 bulbs of Type B was taken, and their mean lifespan was found to be 1800 hours with a standard deviation of 90 hours. Using a significance level of 0.05, test the hypothesis that there is no difference in the mean lifespan of the two types of bulbs. Also, calculate the p-value and the power of the test.

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
