2). The average life time of a light bulb is 3000 hours with a standard deviation of 690 hours. A
sample of 36 bulbs is taken.
How large of a sample needs to be taken to provide a 0.01 probability that the average life time
in the sample will be equal to or greater than 3219.24 hours? Z 0.01= 2.33
3).Ethio Travels and Tours PLC would like to estimate the mean amount of money spent by a
tourist to be within Birr 100 with 95% confidence.
If the amount of money spent by tourist is considered to be normally distributed with a
standard deviation of Br 210, what sample size would be necessary for the PLC to meet their
objective in estimating this mean amount?
4). For the year 2013 (E.C), the average fuel consumption of HU vehicles was 200 liters per day
and the standard deviation is 90 liters per day. The manager of the system claims that the average
fuel consumption has increased this year. Assume that to test the claim, the manager sampled
40 vehicles of HU, and the mean of selected vehicles fuel consumption is 160 liters per day.
Formulate hypothesis testing with 1% α; assume the distribution is normally distributed.
