Question
The manufacturer of a sports car claims that the fuel injection system lasts at least 48 months before it needs to be replaced. A consumer group does not believe this claim. The consumer group believes that it must be less than 48 months. The consumer group tests th the​ manufacturer's claim by surveying a random sample of 15 sports car
owners
who had the fuel injection system replaced. The ages of sports cars at the time of replacement were​ (in months) as​ follows: Assume that that the age of sports cars at the time of replacement is normally distributed.
