Tests of a new light led to an estimated mean life of 1488 hours and standard deviation of 156 hours. The manufacturer will advertise the lifetime of the bulb using the largest value for which it is expected that 87% of the bulbs will last at least that long. Assuming bulb life is normally distributed, find that advertised value.

A company that produces light bulbs wants to test in their new LCD bulb has an average lifespan that exceeds 5000 hours. To support their claim they have collected a random sample of 70 bulbs and found the average lifespan of these 70 bulbs was 5,099 hours. The population standard deviation is known to be 491 hours. The company would like to test their hypothesis using a significance level of 0.05. Calculate the appropriate test statistic.

The mean life time of the electric light bulbs produced by a company in the past been 1120 hours with a standard deviation of 125 hours. A sample of 8 electric bulbs recently chosen from a supply of newly manufactured bulbs showed a mean life time of 1070 hours. Test the hypothesis that mean life time of the bulbs has not changed using a level of significance of 0.05.
