A research company has designed three different systems to clean up oil spillages. The following table contains the results, measured by how much surface area (in square meters) is cleared in 1 hour. The data were found by testing each method in several trials. Is there any significant difference in the testing of effectiveness of the three systems? Use the 0.05 level of significance.

A recent poll found that 664 out of 1026 randomly selected people in a particular country felt that colleges and universities with big sports programs placed too much emphasis on athletics over academics. Assuming the conditions for the CLT are met, use the accompanying Minitab output to complete parts a and b below. N Event Sample p 95% CI for p 1026 664 0.647173 (0.617934, 0.676413) Question content area bottom b. Suppose a sports blogger wrote an article claiming that a majority of adults from this country believe that colleges and universities with big sports programs place too much emphasis on athletics over academics. Does this confidence interval support the blogger's claim? Explain your reasoning. A. No, it is not a plausible claim because the confidence interval contains 50%. B. No, it is not a plausible claim because the confidence interval does not contain only values above 50%. C. Yes, it is a…
An experiment was conducted to test whether students’ performance (above or below average) is independent of stress level as a result of pressure on time table for the term in Hwanhwan Senior High School. The table below gives a 3 × 2 contingency table of the sample.Above Average Average Below AverageTOTALStressed 135. 250 285 670Not stressed 150 157 107 414TOTAL. 285 407 392 1084With the help of chi-square test statistics X2= ∑(oi - eij)/eij, determine whether students’ performance for the selected term in the school is independent of their stress level experienced from the time table at a = 0.05.
Organizations such as J.D. Power and Associates use the proportion of owners likely to repurchase a particular automobile as an indication of customer loyalty for the automobile. An automobile with a greater proportion of owners likely to repurchase is concluded to have greater customer loyalty. A study was conducted to compare the customer loyalty for three automobiles: Chevrolet Impala, Ford Fusion, and Honda Accord. The study contained 500 respondents and the data is summarized in the Microsoft Excel Online file below. Use the spreadsheet to perform the required calculations and hypothesis test.
An automotive engineer is investigating two different types of metering devices for an electronic fuel injection system to determine whether they differ in their fuel mileage performance. The system is installed on 10 different cars, and a test is run with each metering device on each car. The data is provided below: Metering Device Car 1 2 1 17.6 16.8 2 19.4 20.0 3 18.2 17.6 4 17.1 16.4 5 15.3 16.0 6 15.9 15.9 7 16.3 16.5 8 18.0 18.4 9 17.3 16.4 10 19.1 20.1 Is there a significant difference between the means of the two metering devices?

Three types of medium sized cars assembled in New Zealand have been test driven by a motoring magazine and compared on a variety of criteria. In the area of fuel efficiency performance, five cars of each brand were each test driven 1000 km; the km per litre data are obtained as follows (kilometres per litre): Brand A (7.6; 8.4; 8.0; 7.6; 8.4). Brand B (7.8; 8.0; 9.1; 8.5; 9.6). Brand C (9.6; 10.4; 9.2; 9.7; 10.6). SSE = 4.26 and TSS = 13.693. what is the critical value at 5% significance level
In an agricultural experiment, the effects of two fertilizers on the production of oranges were measured.

Dean for student affairs of a small university is worried about students’ expenditure on internet expense during the period study from home since this Covid-19 outbreak. Especially she wants to know whether students of social sciences spend more compared to students from science and technology. As a quick and preliminary study, she collected a sample of 9 students from science and technology and 11 students from social sciences. Total spending for internet is in Rp0000 during the month of April 2029. The results are presented in the following table. Questions: 1. Explain whether you can or cannot use normal approach to the case. 2. Conduct the test by showing formal steps in hypothesis test (design, decision rule, statistical test, and conclusion) at α = 0.05

In the COVID-19 data set, there are several questions that participants answer about the reactions of their government to the pandemic, as well as questions about their own well-being, in terms of measures of distress, such as anxiety and depression. This data was collected quite early in the pandemic, near the beginning of the first wave in late March. One might ask whether how one viewed their government might affect one's concerns about the health of their family and themselves. What type of procedure might you use to see whether there was an association between attitudes towards governtment and worries about health?
