Chapter 14.4, Problem 6Q

A sample of ten 40-W light bulbs was taken from each of three manufacturing plants. The bulbs were burned until failure. The number of hours that each remained lit is listed in the following table.

Plant 1 Plant 2 Plant 3
905 1109 571
1018 1155 1346
905 835 292
886 1152 825
958 1036 676
1056 926 541
904 1029 818
856 1040 90
1070 959 2246
1006 996 104
  • (a) Test the hypothesis that the median lives of bulbs produced at the three plants are all the same. Use the 0.05 level of significance.

  • (b) Are the mean lives of bulbs produced at the three plants all the same? Use the analysis of variance with a = 0.05.

  • (c) Change the observation “2246” in the third column to “1500” and redo part (a). How does this change affect the hypothesis test?

  • (d) Change the observation “2246” in the third column to “1500” and redo part (b). How does this change affect the hypothesis test?
