A cell phone manufacturer claims that its phone will last for more than 8 hours of continuous talk time when the battery is fully charged. To test this claim, a sample of n = 18 phones were tested. The results showed a sample mean of 8.2 hours and a sample standard deviation of 0.4 hour.a. Conduct the hypothesis test using a 0.05 level of significance and determine whether or not the company's claim is supported.

40. A cell phone manufacturer claims that its phone will last for more than 8 hours of continuous talk time when the battery is fully charged. To test this claim at a 10% level of significance, a random sample of 18 phones were selected. The results showed a sample mean of 8.2 hours and a sample standard deviation of 0.4 hour. Based on the data and hypothesis test, can you dispute the cell phone manufacturer’s claim? A. YES B. NO C. there is not enough information to answer this question

Standby time is amount of time a phone can remain powered on while not being used. A cell phone company claims that the standby time of certain phone model is 16 days on average. A consumer report firm gathered a sample of 19 batteries and conducted tests on this claim. The sample mean was 15 days and 10 hours and the sample standard deviation was 30 hours. Assume that the standby time is distributed as normal. In testing if the average standby time is shorter than 16 days, compute the value of the test statistic (round off to second decimal place).

A manufacturer claims that the mean lifetime of its lithium batteries is 1500 hours. A homeowner selects 25 of these batteries and finds the mean lifetime to be 1470 hours with a standard deviation of 80 hours. Use the classic approach to test the manufacturer's claim. Use α = 0.05. Using hypothesis testing
