Testing of hypothesis and regression problems

3.3
The service life of a battery used in a cardiac pacemaker is assumed to be normally distributed. A random sample of 10 batteries is subjected to an accelerated life test by running them continuously at an elevated temperature until failure, and the following lifetimes (in hours) are obtained: 25.5, 26.1, 26.8, 23.2, 24.2, 28.4, 25.0, 27.8, 27.3 and 25.7.

a) The manufacturer wants to be certain that the mean battery life exceeds 25h. What conclusions can be drawn from these data (use ?alpha? = 0.05)
b) Construct a 90% two-sided confidence interval on mean life in the accelerated test.

3.8
The diameters of aluminum alloy rods produced on an extrusion machine are known to have a standard deviation of 0.0001 in. A random sample of 25 rods has an average diameter of 0.5046 in.
a) Test the hypothesis that mean rod diameter is 0.5025 in. Assume a two-sided alternative and use ?alpha? = 0.05
b) Find the P-value for this test.
c) Construct a 95% two-sided confidence interval on the mean rod diameter

An experiment was conducted to investigate the filling capability of packaging equipment at a winery in Newberg, Oregon. Twenty bottles of Pinot Gris were randomly selected and the fill volume (in ml) measured. Assume that fill volume has a normal distribution. The data are as follows: 753, 751, 752, 753, 753, 753, 752, 753, 754, 754, 752, 751, 752, 750, 753, 755, 753, 756, 751, and 750.
a) Do the data support the claim that the standard deviation of fill volume is less than 1 ml? Use ?alpha? = 0.05
b) Find a 95% two-sided confidence interval on the standard deviation of fill volume.
c) Does it seems reasonable to assume that fill volume has a normal distribution?

Weight, lbs 155 150 180 135 156 168 178 160 132 145

a) Plot the data
b) Calculate the regression line of Y on X
c) Calculate the regression line of X on Y
d) Why do the two regression lines intersect at one point?
