A manufacturer of “Keep it Warm” bags is interested in comparing the heat retention of bagswhen used at five different temperatures (100 oF, 125 oF, 150 oF, 175 oF, and 200 oF). Thirty bagsare selected randomly from last week’s production and randomly assigned, six each, to fivedifferent groups. Items from group 1 at beginning temperature 100 oF were kept in bags for anhour, and the temperatures of those items were recorded after an hour. Similarly, groups 2 to 5were assigned items at 125 oF, 150 oF, 175 oF, and 200 oF, respectively.a. Identify the type of study used here.b. What type of inference is possible from this study?
According to a recent marketing campaign, 00 drinkers of either Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi participated in a blind taste test to see which of the drinks was their favorite. In one Pepsi television commercial, an anouncer states that "in recent blind taste tests, more than one half of the surveyed preferred Diet Pepsi over Diet Coke." Suppose that out of those 100, 59 preferred Diet Pepsi. Test the hypothesis, using ?=0.05α=0.05 that more than half of all participants will select Diet Pepsi in a blind taste test by giving the following:
3. Each of a group of 20 intermediate tennis players is given two rackets, one having nylon strings and the other synthetic gut strings. After several weeks of playing with the two rackets, each player will be asked to state a preference for one of the two types of strings. Let p denote the proportion of all such players who would prefer gut to nylon, and let X be the number of players in the sample who prefer gut. Because gut strings are more expensive, consider the null hypothesis that at most 50% of all such players prefer gut. We simplify this to H0: p = .5, planning to reject H0 only if sample evidence strongly favors gut strings. (a) Is a significance level of exactly .05 achievable? If not, what is the largest α smaller than .05 that is achievable? (b) If 60% of all enthusiasts prefer gut, calculate the probability of a type II error using the significance level from part (a). Repeat if 80% of all enthusiasts prefer gut. (c) If 13 out of the 20 players prefer gut, should H0 be…
According to a recent marketing campaign, 100100 drinkers of either Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi participated in a blind taste test to see which of the drinks was their favorite. In one Pepsi television commercial, an anouncer states that "in recent blind taste tests, more than one half of the surveyed preferred Diet Pepsi over Diet Coke." Suppose that out of those 100100, 5959 preferred Diet Pepsi. Test the hypothesis, using ?=0.05α=0.05 that more than half of all participants will select Diet Pepsi in a blind taste test by giving the following: (a) the test statistic (b) the critical ?z score
Nationally, at least 60% of Ph.D. students have paid assistantships. A collegedean feels that this is not true in his state, so he randomly selects 50 Ph.D.students and finds that 26 have assistantships. At α = 0.05, is the deancorrect?
A researcher wishes to see whether there is a difference in the weight loss ofwomen following one of the three special diets. Women are randomly assignedto the three groups and placed on the diet for 2 months. The weight losses (inpounds) are shown here. At α = 0.05, can the researcher conclude that there isa difference in diets?
A manufacturer of cereal is considering three alter native box colors—red, yellow, and blue. To check whether such a consideration has any effect on sales, 16 stores of approximately equal size are chosen. Red boxes are sent to 6 of these stores, yellow boxes to 5 others, and blue boxes to the remaining 5. After a few days a check is made on the number of sales in each store. The results (in tens of boxes) shown in the following table were obtained. Red Yellow Blue 43 52 61 52 37 29 59 38 38 76 64 53 61 74 79 81a. Calculate the within-groups, between-groups, and total sum of squares.b. Complete the analysis of variance table, and test the null hypothesis that the population mean sales levels are the same for all three box colors.
A certain type of digital camera comes in either a 3-megapixel version or a 4-megapixel version. A camera store has received a shipment of 15 of these cameras, of which 6 have a 3-megapixel resolution. Suppose that 5 of these cameras are randomly selected to be stored behind the counter; the other 10 are placed in a storeroom. Let X= the number of 3-megapixel cameras among the 5 selected for behind-the-counter storage. a. What kind of a distribution does X have (name and values of all parameters)? b. Compute P(X=2), P(X≤2), and P(X≥2). c. Calculate the mean value and standard deviation of X.
According to a recent marketing campaign, drinkers of either Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi participated in blind taste tests to see which of the drinks was their favorite. In one Pepsi television commercial, an anouncer states that "in recent blind taste tests, at least one half of the surveyed preferred Diet Pepsi over Diet Coke." Suppose that in one of those taste tests, 5050 out of the 120120 participating preferred Diet Pepsi. Test the hypothesis, using α=0.05α=0.05 that at least half of all participants will select Diet Pepsi in a blind taste (hint: take HaHa to be that fewer than half prefer Diet Pepsi) test by giving the following:(a) the test statistic Recall the zz value that marks the start of the rejection region is the critical zz score; if you're lower tailed, it's the zz value that has left area of αα; if you're right tailed, it's the zz value whose area to the right is αα; if you're two-tailed, they're the values of the ±z±z value that −z−z has left area of α2α2 and zz…
According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, on-time performance by the airlines is described as follows: Action % of Time On time 70.8 National Aviation System delay 8.2 Aircraft arriving late 9.0 Other (because of weather and other conditions) 12.0 Records of 200 randomly selected flights for a major airline company showed that 125 planes were on time; 40 were delayed because of weather, 10 because of a National Aviation System delay, and the rest because of arriving late. At α = 0.05, do these results differ from the government’s statistics?
A group of Sports Science students (n = 20) are selected from the population to investigate whether a 12-week plyometric-training programmed improves their standing long jump performance. In order to test whether this training improves performance, the students are tested for their long jump performance before they undertake a plyometric-training programme and then again at the end of the programmed .The following table present the results of before and after the training programmed. Test the claim that their long jump performance is higher after the training.
