the operations manager of a manufacturer of television remote controls wants to determine which batteries last the longest in his product. he took a random sample of his remote controls and tested two brands of batteries. the number of minutes of continuous use before the batteries failed for each brand are given in battery.xlsx . if significance level is 10%, is there statistical evidence of a difference in longevity between the two batteries?

Sagot :

There is no sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a difference in the longevity of the two brands of batteries , as the null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

So the mean and standard deviation for the sample of battery 1 is :

M(1)=  106+ 111+ 109+ 105/4 =107.75

standard deviation (1)=r√(x(i)-M/(n-1)=root(22.75/3)=2.754

Similarly, for the second  battery, the mean and   standard deviation  is

M(2)= 125 +103+ 121+ 118/4=116.75

S(2)=√(276.75/3)=√(92.25)=9.605

Here the hypothesis test for the difference between populations means, here the claim is that the longevity of the two brands of batteries differs.So the alternative and null hypotheses are:

H(0)= μ1-μ2=0

H(1)=μ1-μ2 ≠0

Here the  significance level is 0.05(α), The difference between sample means is M(d)=107.75- 116.75=-9 .Now the  estimated standard error of the difference between the means is :

s(Md)=√(2.754²+9.605²/4)=4.996, Now the test static will be, t=-9-0/4.996=-1.8014 and the degree of freedom is 4+4-2=6 .Here  the test is two-tailed  with  degrees of freedom of  the test static is -1.8014, so the P-value for the  test is : 2.P(t< -1.8014)=0.122

Here the P-value (0.122) is greater than the significance level so the effect is insignificant, and the null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

The sample data for each battery is:

Battery 1: 106 111 109 105

Battery 2: 125 103 121 118
