**Battery Life Statistical Analysis**

The life in hours of a battery is known to be approximately normally distributed, with a standard deviation \(\sigma = 1.25\) hours. A random sample of 10 batteries has a mean life of \(\bar{x} = 40.5\) hours.

**(a)** Is there evidence to support the claim that battery life exceeds 40 hours? Use \(\alpha = 0.050\).

- The battery life is significantly different greater than 40 hours at \(\alpha = 0.050\).

**(b)** What is the *P-value* for the test in part (a)?

- *P-value* = [Input Box]
- Round your answer to three decimal places (e.g. 98.765).

**(c)** What is the *β-error* for the test in part (a) if the true mean life is 42 hours?

- \(\beta =\) [Input Box]
- Round your answer to five decimal places (e.g. 98.76543).

**(d)** What sample size would be required to ensure that \(\beta\) does not exceed 0.1 if the true mean life is 44 hours?
