The manufacturer of a sports car claims that the fuel injection system lasts 48 months before it needs to be replaced. A consumer group tests this claim by surveying a random sample of 10 owners who had the fuel injection system replaced. The ages of the cars at the time of replacement were (in months):32 46 47 48 53 46 30 51 42 52(i) Use your calculator to calculate the mean age of a car when the fuel injection system fails x and standard deviation s. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)x =monthss =months
(ii) Test the claim that the fuel injection system lasts less than an average of 48 months before needing replacement. Use a 5% level of significance.What are we testing in this problem?single meansingle proportion
(a) What is the level of significance?
State the null and alternate hypotheses.H0: μ = 48; H1: μ ≠ 48H0: μ = 48; H1: μ > 48H0: p = 48; H1: p <>H0: p = 48; H1: p ≠ 48H0: μ = 48; H1: μ <>H0: p = 48; H1: p > 48
(b) What sampling distribution will you use? What assumptions are you making?The standard normal, since we assume that x has a normal distribution with known σ.The Student's t, since we assume that x has a normal distribution with unknown σ.The standard normal, since we assume that x has a normal distribution with unknown σ.The Student's t, since we assume that x has a normal distribution with known σ.
What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
