:) (a) The use of condoms is generally considered a safeguard against HIV transfer. The data in the table below is taken from certain population, to test if there is an association between condom use and HIV transfer. By using appropriate notations, state the null and alternative hypotheses formally and test the null at a = 0.05. If your chosen statistic rejects the null, evaluate the residuals to sort out potentially contributing cells.

1. The data are generated from an initial parental cross. One parent displays the disease phenotype and one displays the wild-type (WT) phenotype. The WT parent always has a homozygous genotype. Your task is to perform a chi-square goodness of fit test on each of two F2 data sets, and make a decision, based on your statistical analyses as to which F2 data set provides greater evidence for indicating the correct mode of inheritance. In this problem, the true mode of inheritance is autosomal dominant, homozygous lethal. Evidence is measured in the following ways: the p-value is greater than 0.05, so we do not reject the null hypothesis, and the p-value is closer to 1. A few things of which to be mindful. 1. In the parental generation, the WT parent always has a homozygous genotype. 2. For the autosomal dominant mode of inheritance, the disease gene always homozygous for the disease allele in the parental generation. 3. For the autosomal dominant, homozygous lethal any person with the…
A manufacturer of hand-held calculators receives large shipments of printed circuits from a supplier. It is too costly and time-consuming to inspect all incoming circuits, so when each shipment arrives, a sample is selected for inspection. Information from the sample is then used to test H0: p = 0.01 versus Ha: p > 0.01, where p is the actual proportion of defective circuits in the shipment. If the null hypothesis is not rejected, the shipment is accepted, and the circuits are used in the production of calculators. If the null hypothesis is rejected, the entire shipment is returned to the supplier because of inferior quality. (A shipment is defined to be of inferior quality if it contains more than 1% defective circuits.) In this context, define Type I and Type II errors. (Select all that apply.) a. A Type I error is obtaining convincing evidence that more than 1% of a shipment is defective when in fact (at most) 1% of the shipment is defective. b. A Type I error is not…

1) A cement producer, manufactures and then fills 40kg-bags of powder cement on twodistinct production tracks located in separate suburbs. To determine whether differencesexist between the average fill rates for the two tracks, a random sample of 25 bags fromTrack 1 and a random sample of 16 bags from Track 2 were recently selected. Each bag’sweight was measured and the following information measures from the samples arereported:Production ProductionTrack 1 Track 2n1 = 25 n2 = 16x2 = 40.02 x1 = 39.87 s1 = 0.59 s2 = 0.88 Supervision believes that the fill rates of the two tracks are normally distributed with equalvariances.Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the true mean difference between the twotracks.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------2) Two independent simple random samples were selected from two normallydistributed populations with unequal variances yielded the following information:Sample 1…

An urban community wants to show that the incidence of breast cancer is higher in their locality than in a neighboring rural area. (PCB levels were found to be higher in the soil of the urban community). If you find that in the urban community 20 out of 200 adult women have breast cancer and that in the rural community 10 out of 150 adult women have it, could you conclude, at a significance level of 0.05, that breast cancer is more prevalent in the urban community?1. The parameter of interest is:2. The hypotheses for this test are:3. The calculated test statistic is:4. The critical region is:5. Draw the critical region (make decision):6. It can be concluded that:

The average drying time of a manufacturer’s paint is 20 minutes. Investigating the effectiveness of a modifica-tion in the chemical composition of her paint, the manu-facturer wants to test the null hypothesis μ = 20 minutes against a suitable alternative, where μ is the average dry-ing time of the modified paint. (a) What alternative hypothesis should the manufactureruse if she does not want to make the modification in thechemical composition of the paint unless it decreases thedrying time?(b) What alternative hypothesis should the manufactureruse if the new process is actually cheaper and she wants tomake the modification unless it increases the drying timeof the paint?
