Five readings of the resistance, in ohms, of a piece of wire gave the following results:1.51, 1.49, 1.54, 1.52,1.54. If the wire were pure silver, its resistance would be 1.50ohms. If the wire were impure, the resistance would be increased. If the probability of type I error is 5%, test the hypothesis that the wire is pure silve

A medical researcher says that less than 80% of adults in a certain country think that healthy children should be required to be vaccinated. In a random sample of 200 adults in that country, 76% think that healthy children should be required to be vaccinated. At α=0.05, is there enough evidence to support the researcher's claim? Complete parts (a) through (e) below. Let p be the population proportion of successes, where a success is an adult in the country who thinks that healthy children should be required to be vaccinated. (a) Find the critical value(s) and identify the rejection region(s). z0=______ (b) Identify the rejection region(s). (c) Find the standardized test statistic z. z=______ (d) Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis and (e) interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.
A survey of 90 recently delivered women on the rolls of a county welfare department revealed that 27 had a history of intrapartum or postpartum infection. What is the critical value of z if we need to conclude that the population proportion with a history of intrapartum or postpartum infection is less than 0.25.
In the nation of Gondor, the EPA requires that half the new cars sold will meet a certain particulate emission standard a year later. A sample of 64 one-year-old cars revealed that only 20 met the particulate emission standard. What is the test statistic to see whether the proportion is below the requirement?
A poll of 700 frequent and occasional fliers found that 450 respondents favored a ban on cellphones in flight, even if technology permits it. At α = .05, can we conclude that morethan half the sampled population supports a ban?
A researcher conducts an experiment comparing fourtreatment conditions with n = 12 scores in eachcondition.a. If the researcher uses an independent-measuresdesign, how many individuals are needed for thestudy and what are the df values for the F-ratio?b. If the researcher uses a repeated-measures design,how many individuals are needed for the study andwhat are the df values for the F-ratio?
In a study to estimate the proportion of smokers among the residents in a certain city and its suburbs, it is found that 24 of 104 urban residents aresmokers, while 34 of 108 suburban residents are smokers. Is there a significant difference between the proportions of smokers among urban and suburban residents? Make use of a P-value.
Natalie conducted a study on the effects of triclosan on three algae populations. She collected an algae sample from three different ponds, counted the number of algae cells present in the sample, and then exposed them to a 5 ppm aqueous solution of triclosan and re-counted the number of algae cells in each sample. Using a paired t-test, she obtained a p-value of 0.083 when comparing the original algae population sizes to the population sizes after exposure to triclosan. Natalie concluded that triclosan is toxic to algae because her data for the three samples showed a trend toward a reduction in population size. What could Natalie do to show a statistically significant effect of triclosan on algae population size? Justify your response.
A researcher reports an F-ratio with dfbetween = 2 and dfwithin = 30 for an independent-measures ANOVA. a. How many treatment conditions were compared in the experiment? b. How many subjects participated ion the experiment?
A consumer group is investigating a producer of diet meals to examine if its prepackaged meals actually contain the advertised 6 ounces of protein in each package. Based on the following data, is there any evidence that the meals do not contain the advertised amount of protein? Run the appropriate test at a 5% level of
Experience has shown that the value of orders placed by customers of Handy Glass Ptyis normally distributed, with an average order value (µ) of R10 200, and a standarddeviation (σ) of R1 755. A sample of 85 orders is randomly selected. Determine the standard error for this sample.
A campaign was designed to convince car owners that they should fill their tireswith nitrogen instead of air. At a cost of about $5 per tire, nitrogen supposedlyhas the advantage of leaking at a much slower rate than air, so that the idealtire pressure can be maintained more consistently. Before spending huge sumsto advertise nitrogen, it would be wise to conduct a survey to determine thepercentage of car owners who would pay for the nitrogen. How many randomly selected car owners should be surveyed? Assume that we want to be 95% confident that the sample percentage is within three percentage points of the true percentage of all car owners who would be willing to pay for the nitrogen.
A manufacturer of disk drives for notebook computers wants an MTBF of at least 50,000 hours. Recent testresults for 10 units were one failure at 10,000 hours, anotherat 25,000 hours, and two more at 45,000 hours. The remaining units were still running at 60,000 hours. Determine thefollowing:a) Percent of failuresb) Number of failures per unit-hourc) MTBF at this point in the testing
