A sale manager of Febreze, air freshener product would like to compare whether the sale distribution reflects the population in four different locations. According to Australian Bureau of Statistics, 35% of the population lives in Melbourne, 21% in Sydney, 24% in the Canberra, and 20% in Adelaide. Table below presents a breakdown of a sample of 400 orders randomly selected from those shipped last month. What is the critical value at the .01 level of risk?

A low-level CDC bureaucrat wants to please his boss by gathering evidence thatthe current government-mandated shutdown of society is not causing people’s mentalhealth to deteriorate, so that it can safely be continued for several years if anyexpert says it’s necessary.He polls a random sample of 1600 citizens, gathering data on such items asincome loss, weight gain, access to toilet paper, hours spent binge-watchingNetflix, and number of injuries caused by household fights, and compiles all thisinto a scientifically-weighted “misery index”.The mean misery index from the sample is 99.2; it seems reasonable to use apopulation standard deviation σ = 19.1.a) Does this information provide significant evidence (at the 5% level) that thenationwide mean misery index is less than 100? Set up appropriate null andalternative hypotheses, calculate the appropriate test statistic, find the P-value,and state your conclusion.

When companies are designing a new product, one of the steps typically taken is to see how potential buyers react to a picture or prototype of the proposed product. The product-development team for a notebook computer company has shown picture A to a large sample of potential buyers and picture B to another, asking each person to indicate what they "would expect to pay" for such a product. The data resulting from the two pictures are provided in file (sheet 6). Using the 0.05 level of significance, determine whether the prototypes might not really differ in terms of the price that potential buyers would expect to pay.

To evaluate the coagulation effects of three drugs, 30 healthy volunteers were randomly assigned into 3 groups and injected with different drugs. Their relevant coagulation times were measured as follows A(group=1): 36.8 34.4 34.3 35.7 33.2 31.1 34.3 29.8 35.4 31.2B(group=2): 40.0 35.5 36.7 39.3 40.1 36.8 33.4 38.3 38.4 39.8C(group=3): 32.9 37.9 30.5 31.1 34.7 37.6 40.2 38.1 32.4 35.6Questions: ① If you want to evaluate whether the coagulation effects of the three drugs are different, which method should be used? and what are the model assumptionsfor the application of this method?② Compare the difference of the coagulation effects among three drugs by SPSS,present the main results and make interpretation.③ Make pairwise comparisons of the efficacy of the three drugs, write out the method of pairwise comparison you adopted (just write one method) and the corresponding p-values.
o combat antibiotic resistance, the Quality Improvement Consortium recommends a throat swab to confirm strep throat before a physician prescribes antibiotics to children under age 5. Nationally, 40 percent of children under 5 who received antibiotics did not have a throat swab. The Colorado Department of Health took a random sample of 79 children under the age of 5 who received antibiotics for throat infections and found that 24 did not have a throat swab. At α = .05, is this a statistically significant reduction over last year’s national rate of 40 percent? (a-1) Choose the correct null and alternative hypotheses. H0: π ≥ .40 vs. H1: π < .40 H0: π ≤ .40 vs. H1: π > .40 H0: π = .40 vs. H1: π ≠ .40 (a-2) Calculate the critical value. (A negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) Critical value (a-3) Calculate the test statistic. (A negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your…
