An industrial engineer is investigating the effect of four assembly methods (A, B, C, D) on the assemblytime for a color television component. Four operators are selected for the study. Furthermore, theengineer knows that each assembly method produces such fatigue that the time required for the lastassembly may be greater than the time required for the first, regardless of the method. That is, a trenddevelops in the required assembly time. To account for this source of variability, the engineer uses theLatin square design shown below. Analyze the data from this experiment (a=0.05) and draw appropriateconclusions.OperatorOrder ofAssembly141C = 10B = 82B = 7A = 83A = 5D=94D = 10C = 142D = 14C = 18B = 10A = 103A = 7D = 11C = 11B = 12

1. Suppose that, in Example 2.27, 400 units of food A, 600 units of B, and 600 units of C are placed in the test tube each day and the data on daily food consumption by the bacteria (in units per day) are as shown in Table 2.6. How many bacteria of each strain can coexist in the test tube and consume all of the food? Table 2.6 Bacteria Strain I Bacteria Strain II Bacteria Strain III Food A 1 2 0 Food B 2 1 1 Food C 1 1 2
In a classic study of infant attachment, Harlow (1959) placed infant monkeys in cages with two artificial surrogate mothers. One “mother” was made from bare wire mesh and contained a baby bottle from which the infants could feed. The other mother was made from soft terry cloth and did not provide any access to food. Harlow observed the infant monkeys and recorded how much time per day was spent with each mother. In atypical day, the infants spent a total of 18 hours clinging to one of the two mothers. If there were no preference between the two, you would expect the time to be divided evenly, with an average of μ=9 hours for each of the mothers. However, the typical monkey spent around 15 hours per day with the terry-cloth mother, indicating a strong preference for the soft, cuddly mother. Suppose a sample of n=9 infant monkeys averaged M=15.3 hours per day with SS=216 with the terry-cloth mother. Is this result sufficient to conclude that the monkeys spent significantly more time with…

A national study found that treating people appropriately for high blood pressure reduced their overall mortality by 20%. Treating people adequately for hypertension has been difficult because it is estimated that 50% of hypertensives do not know they have high blood pressure, 50% of those who do know are inadequately treated by their physicians, and 50% who are appropriately treated fail to follow this treatment by taking the right number of pills. If the preceding 50% rates were each reduced to 35% by a massive education program, then what effect would this change have on the overall mortality rate among true hypertensives; that is, would the mortality rate decrease and, if so, what percentage of deaths among hypertensives could be prevented by the education program? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) The overall mortality rate among hypertensives would be reduced by how much? If possible please demonstarte how this can be done on a calculator, thank you!
Jointsoft is a great over-the-counter arthritis medication, but who will ever know about it? Unfortunately, many people with arthritis tend to be elderly and rather immobile, so advertisers of arthritis medications face limitations in ways to get their messages across. Currently, their best modes of advertisement are commercials on daytime TV, advertisements in select magazines, fliers in convalescent homes, and advertisements on certain Web pages. Marketing managers for Jointsoft are investigating these four modes of advertisement in four small communities (with a different mode of advertisement in each community). The marketing managers have selected 38 days at random and are looking at the daily sales (in dollars) in each of the communities on each of these days. Here is what they have to work with.

Consider the hypothetical case that there were only two brands of juice on the market, company A and company B. 52% of the population drinks juice from company A (it is not known whether these people consume only juice A or if they also consume juice B). 51% of the population drinks juice of company B (again, it is not known how many of these people drink only juice B or if they drink both juice). However, it is known that 21% of the population does not drink juice. Based on these data, we can estimate that the percentage of the population that drinks juice from both companies is: (choose only one): a) 36% b)37% c) 24% d)23% e)5.3%
In a large metropolitan area, 20% of the commuters currently use the public transportation system, whereas the remaining 80% commute via automobile. The city has recently revitalized and expanded its public transportation system. It is expected that 6 months from now 30% of those who are now commuting to work via automobile will switch to public transportation, and 70% will continue to commute via automobile. At the same time, it is expected that 20% of those now using public transportation will commute via automobile and 80% will continue to use public transportation. (a) Construct the transition matrix for the Markov chain that describes the change in the mode of transportation used by these commuters. P A T = P A (b) Find the initial distribution vector for this Markov chain. X0 = (c) What percentage of the commuters are expected to use public transportation 6 months…
