Exercise 8.15
(a) =P(Z1.88)=0.0310
(b) =P(Z-2.75)=0.003
(c) =P(Z-2.88)+ P(Z2.88)=0.002+0.002=0.004
Exercise 8.16
(a) =P(t3.733)=0.001 using df=15 and table A5. Table A8 gives you P(t3.7)=0.001
(b) =P(t-2.5)= P(t 2.5) by symmetry. =0.01 using df=24-1=23 and table A5. Table A8 gives you
P(t2.5)=0.01
(c) =P(t-1.697)+ P(t1.697)=2 P(t1.697) by symmetry. =2(0.05)=0.10 using df=31-1=30 and
table A5. Table A8 gives you 2P(t1.7)=2(0.05)=0.1

Reject H0 if Z < Z Z 0.05 1.645 . Z=-2.14 < -1.645 then H0 is rejected. Conclude that the
true average lifetime of a light bulb is smaller than 750.
Reject H0 if Z < Z Z 0.01 2.33 . Z=-2.14 > -2.33 then H0 is not rejected. Conclude that the
true average lifetime of a light bulb is not smaller than 750.
Small is preferred.

(i) Since |t|=5.81 > t / 2;n 1 t 0.025; 29 2.045 , Reject H0.
(ii) Since P-value=2P(t>5.81)=2(0.0005)=0.001 < =0.05, Reject H0.
Yes, it indicates that the true average weight differs from 200.

(i) Reject H0 if t > t t 0.05; 7 1.895 . Since 0.4978 < 1.895, fail to reject H0.
(ii) P-value =P(t>0.4978) > 0.10 by looking at the t-table with df=7. Since the P-value > =0.05, fail
to reject H0.
Conclude that the average mileage of shaft wear is not larger than 3.5.
15. Exercise 8.45 (a)(c)
(a) P-value=0.084 > = 0.05 then fail to reject H0.
(c) P-value=0.498 > = 0.05 then fail to reject H0.
16. Exercise 8.46 (a)(e)
(a) P-value = P(Z> 1.42)=0.0778
(e) P-value = P(Z > -0.11)=1-0.4562=0.5438
17. Exercise 8.47 (a)(c)
(a) P-value = 2P(Z>2.10)=2(0.0179)=0.0358
(c) P-value = 2P(Z>|-0.55|)=2(0.2912)=0.5824
