A manufacturer of sunflower oil uses machines to distribute liquid ingredients into bottles that move along a filling line. The machine that distributes is working properly when 8 ounces are distributed. Suppose that the average amount distributed in a particular sample of 30 bottles is 7.91 ounces. Assume that the variance of the process is known to be 0.03 ounces squared. Is there evidence that the machine should be stopped (when not 8 ounces are distributed), and production wait for repairs? The lost production from a shutdown is potentially so great that management feels that the level of confidence in the analysis should be 99%.

Consider a capital market with only two risky assets A and B. Their standard deviations are 1 and 2, respectively. There is no risk-free asset. When the correlation coefficient ρAB = 0, construct a portfolio, whose variance is strictly less than 1. [Hint: you may want to try the portfolio that puts more weight on the security with the lower standard deviation.]
Suppose a sample of 950 men found that 642 of them favored the death penalty for capital murder convictions while a sample of 810 women found that 405 of them favored the death penalty for capital murder convictions. Test the claim using a signifiance level of 0.05 that the proportion of men favoring the death penalty is greater tha nthe proportion of women favoring the death penalty. Let p1 = proportion of men favoring the death penalty Let p2 = proportion of women favoring the death penalty Answer the following questions below based upon the above data and the definitions of p1 and p2 Which group of statements correctly describe the Claim, the Null Hypothesis, and the Alternative Hypothesis:

The Greer Tire company manufactures a new steel-belted radial tire to be sold through a national chain of discount stores. Because the tire is a new product, Greer’s managers believe that the mileage guarantee offered with the tire will be an important factor in the acceptance of the product. Let X = miles that the tires last: X~N(60,000 2,500) Find the mileage guarantee that ensures this company will repair no more than 15% of its product for free. Assume the distribution of tire mileage is normal.
