Question 25 • Probability and Statistics with Applications Honors Sem-2-FL-1210300 (2024-2025)
A manufacturer of cell phones would like to estimate how much longer the battery lasts in their model 10 phone than in their model 9 phone. To estimate this difference, they randomly select 40 cell phones of each model from the production line. They subject each phone to a standard battery life test. The 40 model 10 phones have a mean battery life of 14.4 hours with a standard deviation of 2.1 hours. The 40 model 9 phones have a mean battery life of 12.8 hours with a standard deviation of 2.3 hours. Are the conditions for inference met?
Answer
A
Yes, all three conditions for inference are met.
B
No, the random condition is not met for both samples.
C
No, the 10% condition is not met for both samples.
D
No, the Normal/large sample condition is not met for both samples.
