Problem 6

A smartphone manufacturer claims that the average battery life of its new model is at least 20.020.0 hours. A consumer group tests a random sample of 1616 phones and finds a mean battery life of 18.718.7 hours with a standard deviation of 2.42.4 hours. At α=0.05α=0.05, is there sufficient evidence to reject the manufacturer's claim? Assume the population is normally distributed.
