TopicHypothesis test of a normal distribution

4 The manufacturer of a tablet computer claims that the mean battery life is 11 hours. A consumer organisation wished to test whether the mean is actually greater than 11 hours. They invited a random sample of members to report the battery life of their tablets. They then calculated the sample mean. Unfortunately a fire destroyed the records of this test except for the following partial document.
