A manufacturer of rechargeable laptop batteries markets its batteries as having, on average, 500 charges. A consumer group decides to test this claim by assessing the number of times 30 of their laptop batteries can be recharged and finds the average is 497, with a standard deviation of 10.
The resulting p-value is 0.1111; thus, the null hypothesis is not rejected. The consumer group concludes that the manufacturer’s claim that its laptop batteries can be recharged, on average, 500 times is accurate.
