19 Many companies that manufacture light bulbs advertise their 60watt
bulbs as having an average life of 1000 hours. A cynical consumer
bought 30 bulbs and burned them until they failed. He found that they
burned for an average of M = 1233, with a standard deviation of s =
232.06. What statistical test would this consumer use to determine
whether the average burn time of light bulbs differs significantly from
that advertised?
