A researcher makes a research about the life time of batteries which have a normal distribution. In order to understand the life time of batteries s/he randomly selected 49 batteries and calculate the sample mean as 48 hours and standard deviation of 5 hours. Construct 80 % confidence interval for the true population mean of life time of batteries.

Forty refrigerators from two different models of a refrigerator manufacturer are compared to see if the smaller model uses less energy than the larger model. The energy was measured in kilowatt hours per month (kwh/mo). From years of testing these models, it is known that the standard deviation of kwh/mo is 34 kwh/mo for the smaller model and 40 kwh/mo for the larger one. From this survey, the sample means and standard deviations are 125 and 34, and 90 and 40, respectively. If we conduct a hypothesis test, the decision and conclusion are Group of answer choices Do not reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the average kwh/mo are the same. Reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the average kwh/mo are different. Reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the average kwh/mo for the smaller refrigerator is higher than for the larger model. Do not reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the average kwh/mo for the smaller refrigerator is higher than for…
