To investigate the claim, a consumer group will select a random sample of cell phones with the new batten! and use the phones through 500 charges of the battery. The proportion of batteries that fail to last through 500 charges will be recorded. The results will be used to construct a 95 percent con?dence interval to estimate the proportion of all such batteries that fail to last through 500 charges.
