Historically, Shop-Mart has gotten an average of 2000 hours of use from its G&E fluorescent lightbulbs. Because its fixtures are attached to the ceiling, the bulbs are rather cumbersome to replace, and Shop-Mart is looking into the possibility of switching to Phipps bulbs, which cost the same. A sample of Phipps bulbs lasted an average of 2080 hours, and the p-value in a right-tail test (H0: µ # 2000 versus H1: µ . 2000) is 0.012.
Shop-Mart has shared these results with both G&E and Phipps.
a. Give Shop-Mart a recommendation. In doing so, use "0.012" in a sentence that would be understood by a Shop-Mart executive who has had no statistical training but is comfortable with probabilities as used by weather forecasters.
b. In interpreting these results, what level of significance might G&E like to use in reaching a conclusion? Explain.
c. In interpreting these results, what level of significance might Phipps like to use in reaching a conclusion? Explain.
d. If the test had been two-tail (i.e., H0: µ 5 2000 versus H1: µ =! 2000) instead of right-tail, would the p-value still be 0.012? If not, what would the p-value be? Explain.
(DATA SET) Note: Exercises 10.108-10.113 require a computer and statistical software.

Average contribution of exhibit patrons
: Based on the sample data, and using the 0.025 level of significance, can we conclude that the new exhibit has increased the average contribution of exhibit patrons? Identify and interpret the p-value for the test.

Find the maximum height that block b rises
: Block A of mass 11.1 kg lies on a 60.0o incline with a coefficient of friction of 0.545, and block B of mass 1.06 kg is attached to a vertical spring of force constant 210 N/m. The blocks are initially at rest with the spring at equilibrium. Find ..
