Question 13

A company advertised phone batteries with a mean standby time of 235 hours.

A phone shop manager feels that the batteries have a standby time of less than 235 hours.

The manager conducts an experiment and collects the following summary statistics:

n=200∑x=46313∑x2=10861255 n = 200 \quad \sum x = 46313 \quad \sum x^2 = 10861255 n=200∑x=46313∑x2=10861255
a.

Find the mean and standard deviation of the sample.
