A computer manufacturer believes that the proportion of hardware malfunctions is different in humid climates than in dry climates. To test this claim, the manufacturer takes a random sample of 400 machines sold in Florida (humid) and 400 machines sold in Arizona (dry). The manufacturer finds that 44 of the machines in Florida and 24 of the machines in Arizona had hardware malfunctions. d. Does the evidence support the computer manufacturer's claim at the 10% significance level?
A toothpaste manufacturer claims that children brushing their teeth daily with his company’s product (brand A) will have fewer cavities than children using brand B. In a carefully supervised study, the number of cavities in a sample of 5 children using brand A toothpaste was compared with the number of cavities in a sample of 5 children using brand B toothpaste. Using the information below, assess whether there is a significant difference in the mean number of cavities across the two groups. Use an alpha level of .05. Obtained value: Critical/ cut-off value: Conclusion: Brand A Brand B Mean = 1.1 Mean = 4.3 SS = 12 SS = 10
A grassroots group opposed to a proposed increase in the gas tax claimed that the increase would hurt working-class people the most, since they commute the farthest to work. Suppose that the group randomly surveyed 24 individuals and asked them their daily one-way commuting mileage. The results are in Table below. Using a 5% significance level, test the hypothesis that the three mean commuting mileages are the same. working-class professional (middle incomes) professional (wealthy) 17.8 16.5 8.5 26.7 17.4 6.3 49.4 22.0 4.6 9.4 7.4 12.6 65.4 9.4 11.0 47.1 2.1 28.6 19.5 6.4 15.4 51.2 13.9 9.3
A drug company is interested in investigating whether the color of their packaging has any impact on sales. To test this, they used five different colors (blue, green, orange, red, and yellow) for the boxes of an over-the-counter pain reliever, instead of their traditional white box. The following table shows the number of boxes of each color sold during the first month Box color Blue Green Orange Red White No. of boxes sold 310 292 280 216 296 Using the 1% significance level, test the null hypothesis that the number of boxes sold of each of these five colors is the same.

A well-known brokerage firm executive claimed that at least 90% of investors are currently confident of meeting their investment goals. An XYZ Investor Optimism Survey, conducted over a two week period, found that in a sample of 800 people, 88% of them said they are confident of meeting their goals. What practical conclusion can we make about the claim? What would be our formal conclusion if we used a 0.01 significance level?
The respiratory disturbance index (RDI), which is the number of apneic and hypopneic episodes per hour of sleep, was used as a measure of severity of sleep apnea. An RDI of 5 or more indicates sleep-related breathing disturbances. The RDIs for the females and males samples in a study in US are as follows. At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the female patients are less suffer than male from the apnea disease?
