The following questions require full answers. You must use correct notation and show all
steps in your work.
1. In a study we are comparing the lifespans of batteries made by two manufacturers.
We have
randomly selected 12 batteries from Company A and 10 batteries from Company B. The data on
battery lifespan is summarized in the table below. (Note: SD = standard deviation.)

Is there evidence that the mean lifespan (in hours) for the batteries made by Company A is
less than those made by Company B? If needed, you may assume that the population(s) is(are)
normally distributed.
(a)
[2 marks]
Define the parameter(s) of interest using the correct notation. Then, state the
null and alternative hypotheses for this study.
(b)
[2 marks]
Calculate the observed value of the test statistic.
State the distribution (and
degrees of freedom if needed) it follows.

2. A particular brand of car tire has a suggested air pressure of 30 pounds per square inch (psi).
As part of a typical annual service a mechanic will check the tire pressure when a car is brought
in. Let
X
denote the tire pressure (in psi) found on the left front tire and let
Y
denote the tire
pressure (in psi) of the right front tire. The joint probability distribution of
X
and
Y
is given by:

The mechanic is asked to service a random car. What is the probability that at
least one of the front tires is above the suggested air pressure? That is, find
P
(
X >
30
∪
Y >
30).

(d)
[1 mark]
Based on your answer to part (d), is there a strong linear relationship between
X
and
Y
? Explain.
(e)
[1 mark]
Are
X
and
Y
independent? (Hint: this should involve a calculation. You may
refer to calculations completed in previous parts of this question.)

3. An engineer has designed a new type of sink faucet that does not require the use of washers (a
circular piece of rubber used to prevent leaks) in the design. The engineer suspects that using
the production method for their prototype design they have that 4% of the created faucets will
leak within two years under normal use. The engineer hires a plumbing company to test their
faucet prototype, and the company reports that from a random sample of 280 faucets, 17 of them
had leaks within two years with normal use. From this, the plumbing company claims that the
proportion of faucets with leaks is different from 4%. Test the plumbing company’s claim.

You want to get on the President’s Honor Roll which requires a minimum GPA of 3.5. You currently have a GPA of 3.4 based on 32 credit hours. If you take 12 credit hours in the next semester, what does your semester GPA need to be?
Calculate the needed grade points for 44 (32+12) credit hours by multiplying (3.5 x 44). Subtract from current GPA (32 x 3.4) and divide by the next semester credit hours to find the lowest semester GPA which would give an overall GPA of 3.5. Round to 2 decimal places.
You must get at least a ______ GPA for this semester.
