1. A manufacturing company is interested in predicting the number of defects that will be produced each hour on the assembly line. The managers believe that there is a relationship between the defect rate and the production rate per hour. The managers believe that they can use production rate to predict the number of defects. The following data were collected for 8 randomly selected hours. Defects Production rate/h 2 3 1 2 3 5 40 45 20 35 40 50 30 50 e. At a significance level of .01 can you conclude that production rate is a good predictor of the number defects?

Five samples of a ferrous-type substance were used to determine if there is a difference between a laboratory chemical analysis and an X-ray fluorescence analysis of the iron content. Each sample was split into two subsamples and the two types of analysis were applied, with the accompanying results. Assuming that the populations are normal, test at the 0.10 level of significance whether the two methods of analysis give, on the average, the same result.
In a project for a botany class, 15 sunflower seeds were randomly assigned to and planted inpots whose soil had been subjected to one of three fertilizer treatments. Twelve of the seedsgerminated, and the table below shows the height of each plant (in cm) 2 weeks aftergermination.

A veterinarian is interested in researching the proportion of men and women cat owners and believes that the proportion of men cat owners is significantly different than the proportion of women cat owners. The veterinarian decides to obtain two independent samples of men and women cat owners and finds from one sample of 80 men, 30% owned cats. In the second sample of 60 women, 55% owned cats. Test the veterinarian's belief at the α=0.05α=0.05 significance level. Preliminary: Is it safe to assume that nmen≤5%nmen≤5% of all men and nwomen≤5%nwomen≤5% of all women?

An online clothing retailer is testing a new e-mail campaign by sending one version of the e-mail with the word “free” in the subject line (version A) to a group of 1,500 customers and another version of the e-mail with word “discount” in the subject line (version B) to a different group of 1500 customers. After tracking the responses to the two versions of the e-mail advertising, the retailer finds that 75 responded to version A and 105 responded to version B. At 0.05 significance level, can it be concluded that the response rate for version B is higher than the response rate to version A What is your decision? Enter “R” if your decision is to reject the null hypotheses. Enter “F” if the decision is fail to/do not reject the null hypotheses. Your answer (R/F) is: Which of the followings is the most appropriate conclusion for the hypotheses test? Enter the number corresponding to the most appropriate conclusion in the answer box. For example, if statement number 2 is the most…

A statistical program is recommended. Jensen Tire & Auto is in the process of deciding whether to purchase a maintenance contract for its new computer wheel alignment and balancing machine. Managers feel that maintenance expense should be related to usage, and they collected the following information on weekly usage (hours) and annual maintenance expense (in hundreds of dollars). Weekly Usage(hours) AnnualMaintenanceExpense 13 17.0 10 22.0 20 30.0 28 37.0 32 47.0 17 30.5 24 32.5 31 39.0 40 51.5 38 40.0 #1) Develop the estimated regression equation that could be used to predict the annual maintenance expense (in hundreds of dollars) given the weekly usage (in hours). (Round your numerical values to two decimal places.) #2) The expected expense of a machine being used 34 hours per week is $ hundred.
10. The research department at the home office of Superior Insurance conducts ongoing research on the causes of automobile accidents, the characteristics of the drivers, and so on. A random sample of 400 policies written on single persons revealed 120 had at least one accident in the previous three- year period. Similarly, a sample of 600 policies written on married persons revealed that 150 had been in at least one accident. At the 0.05 significance level, is there a significant difference in the proportions of single and married persons having an accident during a three-year period? Determine and interpret the p- value.
A study, which randomly surveyed 3,700 households and drew on this information from the IRS, found that 79% of households have conducted at least one IRA rollover from an employer-sponsored retirement plan. Suppose a recent random sample of 90 households in a certain county was taken and respondents were asked whether they had ever funded an IRA account with a rollover from an employer-sponsored retirement plan. Based on the sample data below, can you conclude at the 0.10 level of significance that the proportion of households in the county that have funded an IRA with a rollover is different from the proportion for all households reported in the study? 77 respondents said they had funded an account; 13 respondents said they had not
