A potato chip company produces a large number of potato chip bags each day and wants to investigate whether a new packaging machine will lower the proportion of bags that are damaged. The company selected a random sample of 150 bags from the old machine and found that 15 percent of the bags were damaged, then selected a random sample of 200 bags from the new machine and found that 8 percent were damaged. Let pˆOp^O represent the sample proportion of bags packaged on the old machine that are damaged, pˆNp^N represent the sample proportion of bags packaged on the new machine that are damaged, pˆCp^C represent the combined proportion of damaged bags from both machines, and nOnO and nNnN represent the respective sample sizes for the old machine and new machine. Have the conditions for statistical inference for testing a difference in population proportions been met? No, the condition for independence has not been met, because random samples were not selected. A No, the…

The manager of the order-distribution center for North-woods Backpackers has a company directive to downsize his operation. He has decided to conduct work sampling studies of employees in the order-processing department, the ware-house area, and the packaging area. In the warehouse area he has 17 employees who locate items, pull them, and put themon conveyors to the packaging area. A work sampling study was conducted over a five-day period to determine the pro-portion of time warehouse employees were idle, and out of the 50 random observations, 400 employees were idle.a. How many observations should be taken if the managerwants to be 90% confident the estimate is within 5%of the actual proportion of time a warehouse employeeis idle?b. The manager also conducted a work sampling study of the packaging area and discovered that the 28 employ-ees were idle approximately 37% of the time. How might the manager redesign his operation to downsizeand be more efficient?

In analyzing the consumption of cottage cheese by members of various occupational groups, the United Dairy Industry Association found that 326 of 837 professionals seldom or never ate cottage cheese, versus 220 of 489 white-collar workers and 522 of 1243 blue-collar workers (Sheet 53). Assuming independent samples, use the 0.03 level in testing the null hypothesis that the population proportions could be the same for the three occupational groups.
