A company that produces computer cables is considering replacing some of its human workers with automated robots. In an experiment to determine whether the use of robots to weave computer cables is feasible, a robot was used to assemble 470 cables. The cables were examined and there were 19 defectives. Management at this company has determined that if robots are able to produce cables, having no more than 5% being defective, that it will be cost effective to invest in robots. Does this data support the hypothesis that the proportion of defective cables is lower thar 0.05 for robots? Use a = 0. 1.

A large manufacturing company investigated the service it received from its suppliers and discovered that, in the past, 38% of all material shipments were received late. However, the company recently installed a just-in-time system in which suppliers are linked more closely to the manufacturing process. A random sample of 150 deliveries since the just-in-time system was installed reveals that 33 deliveries were late. If we want to test whether the proportion of late deliveries was reduced signicantly at = 0:10 the null and alternative hypotheses are a. Null hypothesis (H0) b. Alternative hypothesis (HA)
A poll of 700 frequent and occasional fliers found that 450 respondents favored a ban on cellphones in flight, even if technology permits it. At α = .05, can we conclude that morethan half the sampled population supports a ban?
Although there is a popular belief that herbalremedies such as Ginkgo biloba and Ginseng mayimprove learning and memory in healthy adults,these effects are usually not supported by wellcontrolled research (Persson, Bringlov, Nilsson,and Nyberg, 2004). In a typical study, a researcherobtains a sample of n = 16 participants and has eachperson take the herbal supplements every day for90 days. At the end of the 90 days, each person takesa standardized memory test. For the general population, scores from the test form a normal distributionwith a mean of μ = 50 and a standard deviation ofσ = 12. The sample of research participants had anaverage of M = 54.a. Assuming a two-tailed test, state the null hypothesis in a sentence that includes the two variablesbeing examined.b. Using the standard 4-step procedure, conduct atwo-tailed hypothesis test with α = .05 to evaluatethe effect of the supplements.
a) Genenesis Dispensary is contemplating of opening a new branch in Mwanza. If the medical for medical service is favourable, Genesis could realize a net profit of Tsh.100 million. On the other hand, if the market turn out to be unfavourable, it can end up losing Tsh. 40 million. Of course, Genesis may opt not to persue this option of expanding its operations. In the absence of data from which to base its decision, te best guess for Gensis is equally likely that the dispensary will either be successful or unsuccessful Required: i) Use the decison tree approach, what decison should Genesis Dispensary take b) Market research firm named, Easy Market Access approach Genesis with an offer to undertake a study of Mwanza medical service market at a fee of Tsh. 5 million. Easy Market Access claims that their experience enables them to use Bayes’ Theoremn to make the following statements about different state of the market: ▪ Provide that the study is favourable, the probability of favourable…
A smartphone manufacturer is so certain of its quality control that it offers a complete replacement warranty if the smartphone fails within 3 years. Based upon compiled data, the company notes that there is a 2 percent chance that its smartphone will fail during the first year, a 10 percent chance that a smartphone that survives the first year fails during the second year, and a 20 percent chance that a smartphone that survives the first two years fails during the third year. The warranty does not cover replacement smartphones after the third year. (a) Formulate the evolution of the status of the smartphone as a Markov Chain whose states include two abosrbing states that involve needing to honor the warranty or having the smartphone survive the warranty period. Construct the transition probability matrix and draw the transition probability diagram. (b) Determine the probability that: (a) the manufacturer will have to honor the warranty and (b) the manufacturer will not…
An independent research group has been studying the chances that an accident at a nuclear power plant will result in radiation leakage. The group considers that the only possible types of accidents at a reactor are fire, mechanical failure, and human error, and that two or more accidents never occur together. It has performed studies that indicate that if there were a fire, a radiation leak would occur 20 percent of the time; if there were a mechanical failure, a radiation leak would occur 50 percent of the time; and if there were a human error, a radiation leak would occur 10 percent of the time. Its studies have also shown that the probability of A fire and a radiation leak occurring together is 0.0010. A mechanical failure and a radiation leak occurring together is 0.0015. A human error and a radiation leak occurring together is 0.0012. (a)What are the respective probabilities of a fire, mechanical failure, and human error? (b)What are the respective probabilities that a…
Since its removal from the banned substances list in 2004 by the World Anti-Doping Agency,caffeine has been used by athletes with the expectancy that it enhances their workout andperformance. However, few studies look at the role caffeine plays in sedentary females.Researchers at the University of Western Australia conducted a test in which they determined therate of energy expenditure (kilojoules) on 10 healthy, sedentary females who were nonregularcaffeine users. Each female was randomly assigned either a placebo or caffeine pill (6mg/kg) 60minutes prior to exercise. The subject rode an exercise bike for 15 minutes at 65% of theirmaximum heart rate, and the energy expenditure was measured. The process was repeated on aseparate day for the remaining treatment. The mean difference in energy expenditure (caffeine –placebo) was 18kJ with a standard deviation of 19kJ. If we assume that the differences follow anormal distribution can it be concluded that that caffeine appears to increase…
The authors of the article "Adjuvant Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy in Node-Positive Premenopausal Women with Breast Cancer"† reported on the results of an experiment designed to compare treating cancer patients with chemotherapy only to treatment with a combination of chemotherapy and radiation. Of the 154 individuals who received the chemotherapy-only treatment, 76 survived at least 15 years, whereas 98 of the 164 patients who received the hybrid treatment survived at least that long. With p1 denoting the proportion of all such women who, when treated with just chemotherapy, survive at least 15 years and p2 denoting the analogous proportion for the hybrid treatment, p̂1 = (rounded to three decimal places) and p̂2 = (rounded to three decimal places). A confidence interval for the difference between proportions based on the traditional formula with a confidence level of approximately 99% is 0.494 − 0.598 ± (2.58) (0.494)(0.506) 154 + (0.598)(0.402) 164…
A hospital conducted a study of the waiting time in its emergency room. The hospital has a main campus and three satellite locations. Management had a business objective of reducing waiting time for emergency room cases that did not require immediate attention. To study this, a random sample of 15 emergency room cases that did not require immediate attention at each location was selected on a particular day, and the waiting times (measured from check into when the patient was called into the clinic area) were collected and stored in the table. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence of a difference in the mean waiting times in the four locations?

A low-level CDC bureaucrat wants to please his boss by gathering evidence thatthe current government-mandated shutdown of society is not causing people’s mentalhealth to deteriorate, so that it can safely be continued for several years if anyexpert says it’s necessary.He polls a random sample of 1600 citizens, gathering data on such items asincome loss, weight gain, access to toilet paper, hours spent binge-watchingNetflix, and number of injuries caused by household fights, and compiles all thisinto a scientifically-weighted “misery index”.The mean misery index from the sample is 99.2; it seems reasonable to use apopulation standard deviation σ = 19.1.a) Does this information provide significant evidence (at the 5% level) that thenationwide mean misery index is less than 100? Set up appropriate null andalternative hypotheses, calculate the appropriate test statistic, find the P-value,and state your conclusion.
