Question

Transcribed Image Text:Chapter 07, Section 7.6, Problem 065
Brooklyn Corporation manufactures DVDS. The machine that is used to make these DVDS is known to produce 6% defective DVDS. The quality control inspector selects a sample of 100 DVDS every week and inspects them for
being good or defective. If 10% or more of the DVDS in the sample are defective, the process is stopped and the machine is readjusted. What is the probability that based on a sample of 100 DVDS the process will be stopped
to readjust the machine?
Round your answer to four decimal places.
the absolute tolerance is +/-0.0035

- The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) conducts the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) and reports a variety of information on each county in America. In the third quarter of 2016, the QCEW reported the total taxable earnings, in millions, of all wage earners in all 3222 counties in America. Suppose that James is an economist who collects a simple random sample of the total taxable earnings of workers in 58 American counties during the third quarter of 2016. According to the QCEW, the true population mean and standard deviation of taxable earnings, in millions of dollars, by county are ?=28.29μ=28.29 and ?=33.493σ=33.493, respectively. Let ?X be the total taxable earnings, in millions, of all wage earners in a county. The mean total taxable earnings of all wage earners in a county across all the counties in James' sample is ?⎯⎯⎯x¯.

- 12. Side effects Even if an experiment is double-blind, the blinding might be compromised if side effects of the treatments differ. For example, suppose researchers at a skin-care company are comparing their new acne treatment against the leading competitor. Fifty subjects are assigned at random to each treatment, and the company's researchers will rate the improvement for each of the 100 subjects. The researchers aren't told which subjects received which treatments, but they know that their new acne treatment causes a slight reddening of the skin. How might this knowledge compromise the blinding? Explain why this is an important consideration in this experiment.arrow_forwardIs the national crime rate really going down?
