Write the word or phrase that best completes each statement or answers the question 14)A manufacturer receives an order for fluorescent light bulbs. The order requires that 14) the bulbs have a mean life span of 500 hours. The manufacturer selects a random sample of 25 fluorescent light bulbs and finds that they have a mean life span of 495 hours with a standard deviation of 15 hours. Test to see if the manufacturer is making acceptable light bulbs. Use a 95% confidence level. Assume the data are normally distributed. MULTIPLE CHOICE.
