4. The National Institute of Mental Health published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 9.5 percent of American adults suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 100 people in a certain town, seven of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that town suffering from depression or a depressive illness is lower than the percent in the general adult American population.
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 test statistic is 6.90 Find the p-value. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) p-value = State your conclusion. Reject H0. We conclude that the relationship between weekly usage (hours) and annual maintenance expense (in hundreds of dollars) is significant. Do not reject H0. We conclude that the relationship between weekly usage (hours) and annual maintenance expense (in hundreds of dollars) is significant. Reject H0. We cannot conclude that the relationship between weekly usage…
a) What proportion of 20% of defective items should a supervisor in the quality system of a plastic products company accept when they ask him to evaluate a routine inspection procedure for orders of 100 identical articles, knowing that the procedure consists of taking a sample of 10 items and the one to accept the order if no more than 2 defective items are found? b) How many defective items are expected to appear in the sample?

The table below shows the estimated vaccination coverage of adolescents aged 13-17 years, as reported in national surveys in 2020 and 2021. Vaccine Percent vaccinated (95% CI) Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis vaccine) 2020: 90.1 (89.2–90.9) 2021: 89.6 (88.6–90.5) MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine) 2020: 92.4 (91.6–93.2) 2021: 92.2 (91.2–93.2) HPV (human papillomavirus vaccine) 2020: 58.6 (57.3–60.0) 2021: 61.7 (60.2–63.2) Answer these: a. For which vaccine(s) was there a statistically significant change in coverage from 2020 to 2021? For each, note whether it was a statistically significant increase or decrease? b. For which vaccine(s) was there no significant change in coverage from 2020 to 2021?
6.6 The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) received a complaint from recreational fish- ermen that a community was releasing sewage into the river where they fished. These types of releases lower the level of dissolved oxygen in the river and hence cause damage to the fish resid- ing in the river. An inspector from the DNR designs a study to investigate the fishermen’s claim. Fifteen water samples are selected at locations on the river upstream from the community and fifteen samples are selected downstream from the community. The dissolved oxygen readings in parts per million (ppm) are given in the following table. Upstream 5.2 4.8 5.1 5.0 4.9 4.8 5.0 4.7 4.7 5.0 4.6 5.2 5.0 4.9 4.7 Downstream 3.2 3.4 3.7 3.9 3.6 3.8 3.9 3.6 4.1 3.3 4.5 3.7 3.9 3.8 3.7 a. In order for the discharge to have an impact on fish health, there needs to be at least an .5 ppm reduction in the dissolved oxygen. Do the data provide sufficient evidence that there is a large enough reduction in the mean…
A study was conducted in 1997 to measure the total fat content, calories, and sodium content of vegetable burgers available at supermarkets and commonly used as a meat substitute. Measurements on 54 different brands of "veggie burgers," and the results were used to develop the 3-way contingency table below. Under 130 Calories Under 130 Calories 130 Calories or More 130 Calories of More Total Fat Content Under 320 g Sodium 320 g Sodium or More Under 320 g of Sodium 320 g Sodium or More Under 3 g 6 12 1 1 3-4 g 7 4 3 5 Over 4 g 1 1 7 6 A= {"Under 130 Calories"}, B= {"320 g Sodium or More"} C= {"Over 4 g Total Fat"} A vegetable burger is selected randomly from the group.

What proportion of the sampled wafers had at leastone particle? At least five particles?b. What proportion of the sampled wafers had betweenfive and ten particles, inclusive? Strictly between fiveand ten particles?c. Draw a histogram using relative frequency on thevertical axis. How would you describe the shape of thehistogram?
The quality department at an electronics company has noted that, historically, 91% of the units of a specific product pass a test operation, 6% fail the test but are able to be repaired, and 3% fail the test and need to be scrapped. Due to recent process improvements, the quality department would like to test if the rates have changed. A recent sample of 500 parts revealed that 473 parts passed the test, 20 parts failed the test but were repairable, and 7 parts failed the test and were scrapped. (You may find it useful to reference the appropriate table: chi-square table or table)a. Choose the appropriate alternative hypothesis for the test.
