Due to the increasing number of customers, MTAKUJA commercial Bank located at the University of Dar es Salaam has been facing the problem of long customers' queues since the beginning of this year. The Branch manager decided to conduct a small study to determine the cause of this problem. The study concluded that most of its bank tellers were slow and less efficient. However, the study recommended that the long queues would decrease substantially if at least two of its three banks tellers are operating efficiently. Therefore, to solve this problem the bank came up with the new policy that each bank taller should process at least 25 customers per hour. The probability that the first, second and third bank tellers will fail to comply with the new policy is 0.12, 0.09 and 0.1 respectively. Assume that the three counters at MTAKUJA bank operate independent of each other, find the probability that the queues will decrease substantially.

The Research Unit for Cecilion Supermart conducted an experiment to estimate the strength of the carrier bag from the starch-based biofilms made from two different jicamas (sengkuang) of type A and type B. However, the researcher claims that jicama type A produces more strength compared to type B. To support this claim, 10kg weight item was put into 100 carrier bags made from jicama type A and 200 carrier bags made from jicama type B were randomly selected. As a result, 8 bags from jicama type A burst while 12 bags from jicama type B burst. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the difference in true proportion of the carrier bags which burst between jicama type A and type B. Give comment on the parameter estimate.

A production supervisor at a major chemical company wishes to determine whether a new catalyst, catalyst XA-100, increases the mean hourly yield of a chemical process beyond the current mean hourly yield, which is known to be roughly equal to, but no more than, 750 pounds per hour. To test the new catalyst, five trial runs using catalyst XA-100 are made. Assuming that all factors affecting yields of the process have been held as constant as possible during the test runs, it is reasonable to regard the five yields obtained using the new catalyst as a random sample from the population of all possible yields that would be obtained by using the new catalyst. Furthermore, we will assume that this population is approximately normally distributed. Regard the sample of 5 trial runs for which s = 19.00 as a preliminary sample. Determine the number of trial runs of the chemical process needed to make us: (Round up your answers to the next whole number.) (a) 95 percent confident that x¯ , the…
Airlines have increasingly outsourced the maintenance of their planes to other companies. A concern voiced by critics is that the maintenance may be less carefully done, so that outsourcing creates a safety hazard. In addition, flight delays are often due to maintenance problems, so one might look at government data on percent of major maintenance outsourced and percent of flight delays blamed on the airline to determine if these concerns are justified. This was done, and data from 2005 and 2006 appeared to justify the concerns of the critics. Do more recent data still support the concerns of the critics? Data from 2014 is in the given table. Airline Alaska American Delta Frontier Hawaiian JetB1 Ue South west United U.S Airways Outsource Percent 51.0 29.4 36.7 46.3 78.4 68.4 58.2 52.6 54.3 Delay Percent 10.3 20.3 14.48 21.42 5.06 19.93 28.47 23.46 13.68 Select the scatterplot that correctly represents the data from 2014.

There have been many studies recently concerning coffee drinking and cholesterol level. While it is known that several coffee-bean components can elevate blood cholesterol level, it is thought that a new type of paper coffee filter may reduce the presence of some of these components in coffee. The effect of the new filter on cholesterol level will be studied over a 10-week period using 300 nonsmokers who each drink 4 cups of caffeinated coffee per day. Each of these 300 participants will be assigned to one of two groups: the experimental group, who will only drink coffee that has been made with the new filter, or the control group, who will only drink coffee that has been made with the standard filter. Each participant’s cholesterol level will be measured at the beginning and at the end of the study. Describe an appropriate method for assigning the subjects to the two groups so that each group will have an equal number of subjects. In this study, the researchers chose to include a…

Which test would you conduct to determine whether the change in cholesterol level would be greater if people used the new filter rather than using the standard filter? Why would the…
Individuals involved in the criminal justice system are thought to display many dynamic criminogenic needs, meaning that they have areas of need that are specifically associated with a higher risk of offending (e.g., substance use, antisocial peers etc…). Research has demonstrated that addressing these needs in treatment can lead to reductions in committing new crimes when released from prison. A researcher thinks that offenders may also have some strengths that, if built upon, can also lead to further reductions in recidivism. The researcher has 10 incarcerated offenders take 2 assessments: one on dynamic risk factors and one on strengths (both interval scales) to see if these measures are related to each other. Using the data in Table 1 and testing at an alpha of 0.05, use all the steps of hypothesis testing to determine what can be said about the researcher’s hypothesis.

The Us food and Drug administration has a limit for mercury content in fish of 1.0ppm (parts per million) while in Canada the limit is 0.5 ppm. Using the variable average mercury in the Florida lakes dataset to test whether there is evidence that average mercury level of fish ( large mouth Bass) in Florida lakes is less than 1.0ppm and whether there is evidence that average mercury level of fish in Florida lakes is less than 0.5ppm. STATE THE NULL AND ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESES? GIVE THE TEST STATISTICS AND P-VALUE? round the test statistic to two decimal places and the p-value to three decimal places. DOES THIS SAMPLE PROVIDE EVIDENCE THAT THE AVERAGE MERCURY LEVEL OF FISH (LARGE MOUTH BASS) IN FLORIDA LAKES IS LESS THAN 1.0PPM? LESS THAN 0.5 PPM : STATE THE NULL AND ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESES.

What proportion of machine time would be lost in operating four machines when the machine operates 70 percent of the time unattended and the operator attention time at irregular intervals averages 30 percent? Is this the best arrangement on the basis of minimizing the proportion of machine time lost?
Par, Inc., is a major manufacturer of golf equipment. Management believes that Par's market share could be increased with the introduction of a cut-resistant, longer-lasting golf ball. Therefore, the research group at Par has been investigating a new golf ball coating designed to resist cuts and provide a more durable ball. The tests with the coating have been promising. One of the researchers voiced concern about the effect of the new coating on driving distances. Par would like the new cut-resistant ball to offer driving distances comparable to those of the current-model golf ball. To compare the driving distances for the two balls, 40 balls of both the new and current models were subjected to distance tests. The testing was performed with a mechanical hitting machine so that any difference between the mean distances for the two models could be attributed to a difference in the two models. Prepare a managerial report that investigates the effect of the new coating on driving…

After examining these data for all the jurisdictions, someone notes that certain areas have an unusually high “percent of 18-64 yr-olds with no high school diploma.” Based on this finding, this individual concludes that the high percentages are due to the rising population of immigrants in those areas. Further, the individual argues that any estimates of the associated “percent of low-income working families” in those areas should be recalculated after removing this sub-population from the data set, as they are causing the area to “look bad”. In addition to thinking critically, use the key rules about linear regression and extrapolation to write a statistically appropriate and socially responsible response to the individual’s conclusion and argument.
