An experiment analyzes imperfection rates for two processes used to fabricate silicon wafers for computer chips. For treatment A applied to 10 wafers, the numbers of imperfections are 8, 7, 6, 6, 3, 4, 7, 2, 3, 4. Treatment B applied to 10 other wafers has 9, 9, 8, 14, 8, 13, 11, 5, 7, 6 imperfections. Treat the counts as independent Poisson variates having means μ and μB. Consider the model log μ = a + Bx, where x = 1 for treatment B and x = 0 for treatment A.

According to a certain government agency for a large country, the proportion of fatal traffic accidents in the country in which the driver had a positive blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.33.Suppose a random sample of 109 traffic fatalities in a certain region results in 47that involved a positive BAC. Does the sample evidence suggest that the region has a higher proportion of traffic fatalities involving a positive BAC than the country at the α=0.05 level of significance?
A corporation randomly selects 150 salespeople and finds that 66% who have never taken a self-improvement course would like such a course. The firm did a similar study 10 years ago in which 60% of a random sample of 160 salespeople wanted a self-improvement course. The groups are assumed to be independent random samples. Let π1 and π2 represent the true proportion of workers who would like to attend a self-improvement course in the recent study and the past study, respectively. What is/are the critical value(s) when performing a Z test on whether population proportions are different if α=0.05? Round to three decimal places. A. −1.960 B. ±1.960 C. ±1.645 D. ±2.080
An analysis was conducted by the Statistics Consulting Center atVirginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in which acertain treatment was applied to a set of tree stumps. The chemicalGarlon was used the with the purpose of regenerating the roots ofthe stumps. A spray was used with four levels of GarlonPage 23 of 23concentration. After a period of time the height of the shoots wasobserved. Does the concentration of Garlon has a significantimpact on the height of the shoots? Use α = 0.05.
A laboratory has two large format printers installed. During the installation, the manufacturer has stated that the capacity of the printer is to print 20 maps of A4 size in an hour. Owing to various factors such as different students working on the printers, raw materials etc., there is a variation in the number of prints produced per hour. A researcher has taken a random sample of prints produced in 10 hours for printer 1 and 13 hours for printer 2, respectively. The following data gives the number of prints produced on a sampled hour by the two printers:Printer 1 18 19 19 18 17 19 18 19 18 19Printer 2 16 17 17 17 16 18 16 16 17 17 16 16 17Can the researcher ascertain that the variance is from the same population (i.e., population variances are equal)? Consider α = 0.05 as the significance level.
A public relations firm found that only 27% of voters in a certain state are satisfied with their US senators. How large a sample of voters should be drawn so that the sample proportion of voters who are satisfied with their senators is approximately normally distributed?
Suppose administrators at a large school district decide to institute mandatory study halls at their middle schools in an effort to boost their students' academic performance. After one year, a guidance counselor decides to test whether students' grade point averages (GPAs) have improved compared to the previous school year. The counselor selects a random sample of 40 eighth-graders from throughout the district who were also enrolled in the district for seventh grade. He records their GPAs for grades seven and eight, and for each student, calculates the difference between the two. The counselor's data is summarized in the given table. Variabledescription Samplemean Sample standarddeviation Standarderror estimate seventh grade GPA x¯= 2.64796 s=0.45763 SE=0.07236 eighth grade GPA x¯=2.78543 s=0.54764 SE=0.08659 difference (8th - 7th) x¯=0.13747 s=0.34586 SE=0.05469 The counselor plans to use this information to conduct a matched-pairs t‑test of the null hypothesis H0:μ=0…
An independent research group is interested in showing that the percentage of babies delivered through the the Cesarian section decreases. For the past years, 20% of the babies were delivered through the Cesarian section. The research group randomly inspects the medical records of 144 births and finds that 25 of the births were by Cesarian section. Can the research group conclude that the percent of births by Cesarian section has decreased at 5% level of significance?
A random selection of volunteers at a research institute have been exposed to a typical cold virus. After they started to have cold symptoms, 15 of them were given multivitamin tablets daily which contain 1 gram of vitamin C and various other vitamins and minerals. The remaining 15 volunteers were given tablets only containing 4 grams of vitamin C. For each individual, the length of time taken to recover from cold is recorded. At the end of the experiment the following data are obtained: Days to recover from cold Treated with multivitamin 8.1, 6.7, 7.2, 6.1, 7.5, 6.2, 6.8, 3.4, 7.4, 5.2, 4.3, 5.6, 4.4, 6.3, 3 Treated with Vitamin C 6, 5.6, 1.5, 4.2, 3.1, 4.7, 4.3, 2.7, 5, 4.7, 6.9, 2.5, 3.1, 3.8, 4.1 Send datato Excel It is known that the population standard deviation of recovery time from cold is 1.8 days when treated with multivitamin, and the population standard deviation of recovery time from cold is 1.5 days…
Two popular drugs used for the treatment of depression are Resithan and Exemor. A random sample of 408 depressed individuals is selected and treated with Resithan, and 192 find relief from their depression. A random sample of 520 depressed individuals is independently selected from the first sample and treated with Exemor, and 211 find relief from their depression. Can we conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that the proportion p1 of all depressed individuals taking Resithan who find relief from depression is greater than the proportion p2 of all depressed individuals taking Exemor who find relief from depression? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified in the parts below. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)
The news release referenced in the previous exercise also included data fromindependent samples of teenage drivers and parents of teenage drivers. In response to aquestion asking if they approved of laws banning the use of cell phones and texting whiledriving, 74% of the teens surveyed and 95% of the parents surveyed said they approved.The sample sizes were not given in the news release, but suppose that 600 teens and 400 parents of teens were surveyed and that these samples are representative of the twopopulations. Do the data provide convincing evidence that the proportion of teens whoapprove of banning cell phone and texting while driving is less than the proportion ofparents of teens who approve?
A national company engaged in the manufacture of air-conditioners offers three basic products in terms of comparative prices-low, medium, and high. Past records show that the percentage sales in three categories are 45, 30, and 25, respectively. A sales promotion was conducted highlighting the advantages of high-priced air-conditioners. After the promotion, a random sample of 100 air-conditioners showed that the number of items sold in the low, medium, and high priced items are 30, 30, and 40, respectively. Test the hypothesis that the current pattern of sales does not differ from the historical pattern. Use a 1% level of significance.
Two popular drugs used for the treatment of depression are Resithan and Exemor.
