Perform a one-sample z -test for a population mean using the P -value approach. Be sure to state the hypotheses and the significance level, to compute the value of the test statistic, to obtain the P -value, and to state your conclusion. In the past, the mean running time for a certain type of flashlight battery has been 8.2 hours. The manufacturer has introduced a change in the production method which he hopes has increased the mean running time. The mean running time for a random sample of 40 light bulbs was 8.4 hours. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean running time of all light bulbs, μ , has increased from the previous mean of 8.2 hours? Perform the appropriate hypothesis test using a significance level of 0.05 . Assume that σ = 0.5 hours. H0 : =μ8.2 hours H1 : >μ8.2 hours =α0.05 =z2.62 P -value =0.0044 Reject H0 . At the 5% significance level, the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean running time of all light bulbs, μ , has increased from the previous mean of 8.2 hours. H0 : =μ8.4 hours H1 : >μ8.4 hours =α0.05 =z2.62 P -value =0.0044 Reject H0 . At the 5% significance level, the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean running time of all light bulbs, μ , has increased from the previous mean of 8.4 hours. H0 : =μ8.2 hours H1 : >μ8.2 hours =α0.05 =z2.53 P -value =0.0057 Reject H0 . At the 5% significance level, the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean running time of all light bulbs, μ , has increased from the previous mean of 8.2 hours. H0 : =μ8.4 hours H1 : >μ8.4 hours =α0.05 =z2.53 P -value =0.0057 Reject H0 . At the 5% significance level, the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean running time of all light bulbs, μ , has increased from the previous mean of 8.4 hours.
