The Acme Company has developed a new battery. The engineer in charge claims that the new battery will operate continuously for at least 7 minutes longer than the old battery. To test the claim, the company selects a simple random sample of 100 new batteries and 100 old batteries. The old batteries run continuously for 190 minutes with a standard deviation of 20 minutes; the new batteries, 200 minutes with a standard deviation of 40 minutes. Test the engineer's claim that the new batteries run at least 7 minutes longer than the old. Use a 0.05 level of significance. (Assume that there are no outliers in either sample.) a. Null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis b. Test statistic to be used, appropriate critical region and actual value of the test statistic c. Statistical decision and statistical conclusion

Question
The Acme Company has developed a new battery. The engineer in charge claims that the new battery will
operate continuously for at least 7 minutes longer than the old battery. To test the claim, the company selects a
simple random sample of 100 new batteries and 100 old batteries. The old batteries run continuously for 190
minutes with a standard deviation of 20 minutes; the new batteries, 200 minutes with a standard deviation of 40
minutes. Test the engineer's claim that the new batteries run at least 7 minutes longer than the old. Use a 0.05
level of significance. (Assume that there are no outliers in either sample.)
a. Null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis
b. Test statistic to be used, appropriate critical region and actual value of the test statistic
c. Statistical decision and statistical conclusion
