Resistors labeled as 100 Ω are purchased from two different vendors. The specification for this type of resistor is that its actual resistance be within 5% of its labeled resistance. In a sample of 180 resistors from vendor A, 150 of them met the specification. In a sample of 270 resistors purchased from vendor B, 233 of them met the specification. Vendor A is the current supplier, but if the data demonstrate convincingly that a greater proportion of the resistors from vendor B meet the specification, a change will be made. a) State the appropriate null and alternate hypotheses. b) Find the P-value. c) Should a change be made?
Resistors labeled as 100 Ω are purchased from two different vendors. The specification for this type of resistor is that its actual resistance be within 5% of its labeled resistance. In a sample of 180 resistors from vendor A, 149 of them met the specification. In a sample of 270 resistors purchased from vendor B, 233 of them met the specification. Vendor A is the current supplier, but if the data demonstrate convincingly that a greater proportion of the resistors from vendor B meet the specification, a change will be made. P-value?

A random sample of 80 poultry farms of one variety gave an average production of 240 eggs per bird. Another random sample of 50 poultry farms of another variety gave an average production of 195 eggs per bird. At a=0.05 is there sufficient evidence to support that there is a significant difference between the egg production of the two varieties of birds. Assume o1 =18 eggs and o2=15 eggs
The 2019-2020 flu season was especially tough. By the end of the season, an estimated total of 49 million people in the United States had contracted the flu, of whom an estimated 79,000 died from the flu. Assume that the US population was 300,000,000 during the 2019-2020 flu season and that during the season, a total of 2.9 million Americans died from all causes (including the flu). Assume the population of the US remained the same at the midpoint of the season. Report mortality rates per 100,000. Be sure to express the measure in the correct format. a.What was the proportionate mortality rate from flu during the 2019-2020 flu season? b.What was the case fatality rate from flue during the 2019-2020 flu season?

Based on this information alone, can we determine that the risk of dying from flu in 2019 was higher in this country compared to the US? Why or why not?
To increase egg production, a farmer decided to increase the number of times the lights in his henhouse were on. Ten hens were randomly selected, and the number of eggs each produced was recorded. After one week of lengthened light time, the same hens were monitored again. The data is given here. At α = 0.05, can it be concluded that the increased light time increased egg production?

Suppose a company charges a premium of $150 per year for an insurance policy for storm damage to roofs. Actuarial studies show that in case of a storm, the insurance company will pay out an average of $8000 for damage to a composition shingle roof and an average of $12,000 for damage to a shake roof. They also determine that out of every 10,000 policies, there are 7 claims per year made on composition shingle roofs and 11 claims per year made on shake roofs. What is the company’s expected value (i.e., expected profit) per year of a storm insurance policy? What annual profit can the company expect if it issues 1000 such policies? Determine the probability of a composition shingle roof claim out of 10,000 = ______ Determine the probability of a shake roof claim out of 10,000 = ______ How many claims are made out of 10,000? = _______ What is the probability of no claims out of 10,000? = _______ How much does each shingle roof claim cost the company, don’t forget each person pays $150…
