A producer of pocket calculators purchases the main processor chips in lots of1,000. The producer would like to have a 1 percent rate of defectives but willnormally not refuse a lot unless it has 4 percent or more defectives. Samples of50 are drawn from each lot, and the lot is rejected if more than two defectives arefound.a. What are p0, p1, n, and c for this problem?
A real estate office wants to make a survey in a certain town, which has 50,000 households, to determine how far the head of household has to commute to work. A simple random sample of 1,000 households is chosen, the occupants are interviewed, and it is found that on average, the heads of the sample households commuted 8.7 miles to work; the SD of the distances was 9.0 miles. (All distances are one-way; if someone isn't working, the commute distance is defined to be 0.) Fill in the following blanks, rounding to 1 decimal place. And please input part b as lower bound to upper bound. (a) The average commute distance of all 50,000 heads of households in the town is estimated as _______ miles, and this estimate is likely to be off by _________ miles or so. (b) The 95%- confidence interval for the average commute distance of all heads of households in the town is from ________ to ___________ Fill in the blanks
The television show Lett3rs has been successful for many years. That show recently had a share of 19, which means, that among the TV sets in use, 19% were tuned to Lett3rs. An advertiser wants to verify that 19% share value by conducting its own survey, and a pilot survey begins with 10 households have TV sets in use at the time of a Lett3rs broadcast. If at most one household is tuned to Lett3rs, does it appear that the 19% share value is wrong? (Hint: Is the occurrence of at most one household tuned to Lett3rs unusual?) A. no, it is not wrongB. yes, it is wrong
A polling organization has been hired to conduct a survey to determine the proportion of people who are likely to support an upcoming ballot initiative. To help determine the size of the sample required for the main poll, a preliminary poll of 20 people is taken that yields the results below.

A professor has been teaching an undergraduate course for the last 15 years and has noticed that in the fall term there are more failures than in the same course offered in the winter term. The professor is wondering if this may be due to students being less prepared for the subject matter in the fall than in the winter because more students are taking the prerequisite simultaneously. Before drawing any conclusions though, the professor goes back over all the grades in all classes she taught in the last 15 years and counts the number of students that passed or failed. She then also records who had and had not completed the prerequisite first (see the table attached for data). On the basis of the last 15 years of data, should the 3 professor conclude that there is a difference in pass and failure rates depending on whether the prerequisite was done or not? Use the alpha of 0.05 and carry out all the steps of hypothesis testing to answer the hypothesis.
A farmer estimates that 4% of the 1,400 fruit trees on his farm will fail to produce fruit, with a margin of error of 2.5%. Based on this information, which statements are true? Select all that apply. Because 4% of the fruit trees will fail to produce fruit, the farmer should calculate 4% of 1,400. Then, he should subtract 2.5% of that number to find the low end of the range. He should also add 2.5% to that number to find the high end of the range trees that fail to produce fruit. Between 53 and 57 trees can be expected to fail to produce fruit. Because there is a margin of error of 2.5%, the farmer should calculate 2.5% of 1,400 to find the high end of the range of trees that fail to produce fruit. The lowest number of trees that fail to produce fruit is simply 0. Between 0 and 35 trees can be expected to fail to produce fruit. Because there is a margin of error of 2.5%, between 1.5% and 6.5%6.5% of the fruit trees will fail to produce fruit. The farmer should calculate 1.5%…

The television show CSI: Shoboygan has been successful for many years. That show recently had a share of 19, which means, that among the TV sets in use, 19% were tuned to CSI: Shoboygan. An advertiser wants to verify that 19% share value by conducting its own survey, and a pilot survey begins with 12 households have TV sets in use at the time of a CSI: Shoboygan broadcast.
The quality department at an electronics company has noted that, historically, 91% of the units of a specific product pass a test operation, 6% fail the test but are able to be repaired, and 3% fail the test and need to be scrapped. Due to recent process improvements, the quality department would like to test if the rates have changed. A recent sample of 500 parts revealed that 473 parts passed the test, 20 parts failed the test but were repairable, and 7 parts failed the test and were scrapped. (You may find it useful to reference the appropriate table: chi-square table or table)a. Choose the appropriate alternative hypothesis for the test.
