9.2 Z-Test to Compare Two Population Means: Independent Samples
Which batteries last longer? A randomly selected sample of 92 Duralife AA batteries had an average lifespan of 46.2hrs with a standard deviation of 2.67 hrs. A randomly selected sample of 91 Energy AA batteries had an average lifespan of 42.9hrs with a standard deviation of 3.17 hrs. Use a 5% significance level to test the claim that Duralife batteries last longer on average.
