- 3) Last year, the mean running time for a certain type of flash light battery was 8.5 hours. This year, the manufacturer has introduced a change in the production method which he hopes will change the mean running time. A random sample of 40 of the new light bulbs was obtained and the mean running time was found to be 8.7 hours. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean running time of the new light bulbs is different from last year's mean of 8.5 hours? Perform the appropriate hypothesis test using a significance level of 0.05. Assume that standard deviation of running time of all new light bulb batteries of this type is 0.5 hours.arrow_forwardWhat is the typical age of a person who renews his orher driver’s license online?
