A manufacturer of college textbooks is interested in estimating the strength of the bindings produced by a particular binding machine. Strength can be measured by recording the force required to pull the pages from the binding. If this force is measured in pounds, how many books should be tested to estimate the average force required to break the binding to within .1 lb with 98 % confidence? Assume that o is known to be 5

A manufacturer of college textbooks is interested in estimating the strength of the bindings produced by a particular binding machine. Strength can be measured by recording the force required to pull the pages from the binding. If this force is measured in pounds, how many books should be tested in order to estimate with 95% confidence to within 0.1 lb the average force required to break the binding? Assume that is known to be .8 lb.

In a study examining overweight and obese college football players, Mathews and Wagner(2008) found that on average both offensive and defensive linemen exceeded the at-risk criterionfor body mass index (BMI). BMI is a ratio of body weight to height squared and is commonlyused to classify people as overweight or obese. Any value greater than 30 kg/m2 is considered tobe at risk. In the study, a sample of n = 17 offensive linemen averaged M = 34.4 with a standarddeviation of s = 4.0. A sample of n = 19 defensive linemen averaged M = 31.9 with s = 3.5a. Use a single-sample t test to determine whether the offensive linemen are significantly abovethe at-risk criterion for BMI. Use a one-tailed test with α = .01.b. Use a single-sample t test to determine whether the defensive linemen are significantly abovethe at-risk criterion for BMI. Use a one-tailed test with α = .01.c. Use an independent-measures t test to determine whether there is a significant differencebetween the offensive linemen…
An electrical engineer wishes to determine if, among two specific municipal buildings in town, Building “North” and Building “South”, whether the tensile strength of pipes (in psi) is not the same in each of these two buildings. A sample of pipes was chosen at random from both Building “North” and Building “South”, respectively. Using α = 0.05, which of the following statistical test, or parameter, would be best for determining whether tensile strength of pipes (in psi) is not the same in each of these two buildings? (Assume all statistical assumptions met.) a) Binomial Distribution b) Population Difference in Means (i.e., Unpaired Data) c) The Chi-Squared Test of Independence d) Population Mean Difference (i.e., Paired Data)
A research center claims that 30% of adults in a certain country would travel into space on a commercial flight if they could afford it. In a random sample of 1200 adults in that country, 33% say that they would travel into space on a commercial flight if they could afford it. At α=0.05, is there enough evidence to reject the research center's claim? Complete parts (a) through (d) below. Identify the P-value?
