To test the null hypothesis that the average lifetime for a particular brand of bulb is 775 hours versus the alternative that the average lifetime is different from 775 hours, a sample of 120 bulbs is used. If the standard deviation is 65 hours and α is equal to 0.01, what values for the test statistic will result in rejection of the null hypothesis (Please show all work, thank you.)
