A firm makes a certain type of battery-powered toy.The battery life is denoted by $$\(X\)$$ hours and the population mean of $$\(X\)$$ is supposed to be 12 .The Quality Control department wished to test whether the population mean of $$\(X\)$$ is actually less than 12.They tested a random sample of 50 of these toys and found that the sample mean, $$\(\bar{X}\)$$ ,was 11.4. (b)Show that the value $$\(\bar{X}=11.4\)$$ leads to rejection of the null hypothesis at the $$\(5 \%\)$$ significance level. [2] . . . . . . . .
