    This can be solved using the formula for t test which is = x - mu over standard deviation divided by the square root of the number of samples. In this case, it is 1185 - 1200 over 70 divided by square root of 100 which give us a value of 2.14 which is equal to. 9839 in area. Only rarely, just over one time in a hundred tries of 100 light bulbs, would the average life exceed 1200 hours.
