Suppose a researcher wants to see if the proportion of college educated adults is higher in New York compared to Florida. The researcher randomly samples 500 adults in New York and found that 196 had a college education, while a random sample of 600 adults in Florida found that 227 had a college education.At the 0.05 level of significance, does the data provide evidence to suggest the proportion of college educated adults is higher in New York than Florida? Step 1: Define the parameter & setup the testStep 2: State the Level of SignificanceStep 3: Find the value of the Test StatisticsStep 4: Find P-Value OR Find Critical ValueStep 5: State Conclusion and why
part 3 question *3* A physician claims that joggers' maximal volume oxygen uptake is greater than the average of all adults, which is 36.7 ml/kg. A sample of 35 joggers has a mean of 40.6 milliliters per kilogram (ml/kg) and a standard deviation of 6 ml/kg. Is there enough evidence to support the physician's claim using α=0.05 ?
Question A - A company producing steel nails receives an order for 5000 nails of length 50 mm. Due to externalfactors such as temperature and pressure, the lengths of the nails produced by the machine is normallydistributed with a standard deviation of 1.6 mm. Acceptable lengths (lengths that any customer willconsent to buy) must have a tolerance of 2 mm. If the machine is set to produce nails with a meanlength of 5.0 cm, determine the percentage of nails that are acceptable. A. 0.7888 / B. 0.8877 / C. 0.9921 / D. 0.7878 Further to the information provided in question A above, we are informed that nails produced thatare shorter than the minimum acceptable length have to be scrapped. Consider that 4.8cm is still theminimum threshold for acceptable nail length. If the cost to produce one nail is 45 cents, how muchdoes the company incur in Rand losses due to scrapping? A. R247.70 / B. R347.91 / C. R237.60 / D. R471.99 Further considering information given in questions A and question B, if…

Your company manufactures plastic wrap for food storage. The tear resistance of the wrap, denoted by X, must be controlled so that the wrap can be torn off the roll without too much effort but it does not tear too easily when in use. In a series of tests (see data table below), 15 rolls of wrap are made under carefully controlled conditions and the tear resistance of each roll is measured. The results are used as the basis of a quality assurance specification. If X for a subsequently produced roll falls more than two standard deviations away from the test period average, the process is declared out of specification and production is suspended for routine maintenance.

A random sample of 24 adult male wolves from the Canadian Northwest Territories gave an average weight x1 = 98.8 pounds with estimated sample standard deviation s1 = 6.9 pounds. Another sample of 22 adult male wolves from Alaska gave an average weight x2 = 90.8 pounds with estimated sample standard deviation s2 = 7.0 pounds. (a) Categorize the problem below according to parameter being estimated, proportion p, mean μ, difference of means μ1 – μ2, or difference of proportions p1 – p2. Then solve the problem. p1 – p2μ μ1 – μ2p (b) Let μ1 represent the population mean weight of adult male wolves from the Northwest Territories, and let μ2 represent the population mean weight of adult male wolves from Alaska.

As the population ages, there is increasing concern about accident-related injuries to the elderly. An article reported on an experiment in which the maximum lean angle—the farthest a subject is able to lean and still recover in one step—was determined for both a sample of younger females (21–29 years) and a sample of older females (67–81 years). The following observations are consistent with summary data given in the article: YF: 28, 34, 32, 27, 28, 32, 31, 35, 32, 28 OF: 19, 14, 21, 13, 12 Does the data suggest that true average maximum lean angle for older females (OF) is more than 10 degrees smaller than it is for younger females (YF)? State and test the relevant hypotheses at significance level 0.10. (Use ?1 for younger females and ?2 for older females.)
