A factory produces a type of light tube, Its lifespan can be expressed this way: X~(u, 200^2). From experience, it's known that the average lifespan u is 1500 hours. Now, after adopting a new technique, 25 light tubes are randomly selected from those produced and the average lifespan is found to be 1675 hours. With the new technique adopted, what is the value of the test statistic?

The lifespan of a particular brand of CFL light bulb is uniformly distributed between 19 and 39 months. Assume lifespans are independent from light bulb to light bulb. In a package that contains two of these CFL light bulbs, find the probability that the first bulb lasts for more than 28.3 months or the second bulb lasts for less than 28.2 months.
