Question:
A company producing light bulbs wishes to claim that their light bulbs last more
900 hours. To test this claim, the company took a random sample of 1000 ( = 1000) from those it has
produced and found that the average lifetime for this sample is 884 burning hours (< = 884). The
company knows that the standard deviation of the lifetime of light bulbs is 91 hours ( = 91). Can the
company claim that the average lifetime of its light bulbs is more than 900 hours?
