In a clinical study, a random sample of 540 participants agree to have their blood drawn, which is to be examined for the presence of antibodies against a certain contagious disease. It is found in 22% of the blood samples, which experimenters hope to extrapolate to the general population. From this random sample, 10 participants' blood samples are selected at random. If X is the number of samples out of the 10 who have these antibodies, what can we say about X? A. The sample size is not large enough for us to approximate X using a normal distribution B.The expected value of X is 22 C. X can be approximated using a normal distribution in lieu of a binomial distribution D. X has a sampling distribution that is normal

3. Each of a group of 20 intermediate tennis players is given two rackets, one having nylon strings and the other synthetic gut strings. After several weeks of playing with the two rackets, each player will be asked to state a preference for one of the two types of strings. Let p denote the proportion of all such players who would prefer gut to nylon, and let X be the number of players in the sample who prefer gut. Because gut strings are more expensive, consider the null hypothesis that at most 50% of all such players prefer gut. We simplify this to H0: p = .5, planning to reject H0 only if sample evidence strongly favors gut strings. (a) Is a significance level of exactly .05 achievable? If not, what is the largest α smaller than .05 that is achievable? (b) If 60% of all enthusiasts prefer gut, calculate the probability of a type II error using the significance level from part (a). Repeat if 80% of all enthusiasts prefer gut. (c) If 13 out of the 20 players prefer gut, should H0 be…
A consumer products testing group is evaluating two competing brands of tires, Brand 1 and Brand 2. Tread wear can vary considerably depending on the type of car, and the group is trying to eliminate this effect by installing the two brands on the same 10 cars, chosen at random. In particular, each car has one tire of each brand on its front wheels, with half of the cars chosen at random to have Brand 1 on the left front wheel, and the rest to have Brand 2 there. After all of the cars are driven over the standard test course for 20,000 miles, the amount of tread wear (in inches) is recorded, as shown in the table below.

Suppose that Fred, a United States politician from a large western state, wants to create a new law that would require children under the age of 16 to be accompanied by an adult at all times in public places. Based on previous voting records, Fred believes that he could gain the support of 2525% of likely voters. To test his hypothesis, Fred conducts a random survey of 12001200 likely voters and asks if they would support his proposition. Let ?X denote the number of likely voters in Fred's sample that pledge their support, assuming that Fred's belief that 25%25% of likely voters would support his proposal.

A certain company produces fidget spinners with ball bearings made of either plastic or metal. Under standard testing conditions, fidget spinners from this company with plastic bearings spin for an average of 2.7 minutes, while those from this company with metal bearings spin for an average of 4.2 minutes. A random sample of three fidget spinners with plastic bearings is selected from company stock, and each is spun one time under the same standard conditions; let x¯1x¯1 represent the average spinning time for these three spinners. A random sample of seven fidget spinners with metal bearings is selected from company stock, and each is likewise spun one time under standard conditions; let x¯2x¯2 represent the average spinning time for these seven spinners.
