Question

Assume you are a camera buff. You and your camera club have recently learned that Kannon Camera has developed a new camera that it claims can take an average of more than 10 photographs per second. This is very impressive, but you have learned (from painful experience) to be skeptical of technology claims.
You decide to evaluate the company’s claim so you do a little digging around on the internet. You find that a consumer group has gathered the following data on this camera. A sample of 16 cameras was used; they were tested and found to have a mean number of photographs per second of 10.50. Previous tests of cameras of this type revealed that the population sigma is equal to 0.52. For your analysis, assume you have decided to use an alpha of 0.10.
In summary, in the problem you are given: x(bar)= 10.5, s =.52, n=16, a=.10
Type of variable:________, sigma:________, Type of distribution:_______, Number of tails:_________,
