For a cooking oil company, the price they are paid for coconuts in large shipments is based on the amount of coconut extract from the load. Therefore, there is a need to determine the amount of coconut extract in the whole load prior to extraction. A sample of n coconut can be taken and find y1, . . . , yn , the amount of coconut extract in these coconuts.

Test for a Single Proportion Example 4: NFL Overtime At the start of overtime in a National Football League game, a coin is flipped to determine which team will kick-off and which will receive. The question of interest is how much advantage (if any) is given to the team that wins the coin flip at the start of the sudden death overtime period. In the overtime games played between 1974 and 2009, the winner of the coin flip won the game in 240 of the 428 games in which a winner was determined in overtime. Assume that the overtime games played during this time period can be viewed as a sample of all possible NFL overtime games. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the team winning the coin flip has an advantage in overtime games? Show all details of the test.

Pulling Apart Wood. How heavy a load (in pounds) is 4step needed to pull apart pieces of Douglas fir 4 inches long and 1.5 inches square? Here are data from students doing a laboratory exercise: 33,190 31,860 32,590 26,520 33,280 32,320 33,020 32,030 30,460 32,700 23,040 30,930 32,720 33,650 32.340 24,050 30,170 31,300 28,730 31,920 We are willing to regard the wood pieces prepared for the lab session as an SRS of all similar pieces of Douglas fir. Engineers also commonly assume that characteristics of materials vary Normally. Suppose that the strength of pieces of wood like these follows a Normal distribution, with standard deviation 3000 pounds. Is there statistically significant evidence at thea = 0.10 level against the hypothesis that the meanis 32,500 pounds for the two-sided alternative? Is there statistically significant evidence at thea = 0.10 level against the hypothesis that the meanis 31,500 pounds for the two-sided alternative?
A nutrition study investigated knowledge about fruit juices. The study was conducted in a pediatric clinic. Accompanying parents were asked to classify a national brand of “fruit drink”, that contains less than 10% fruit juice, as 100% fruit juice, fruit juice mix, or no fruit juice at all. The investigators asked 150 parents. The table contains the results. Juice Content Gender Female Gender Male Total 100% 15 15 30 1%-99% 55 25 80 0% 30 10 40 100 50 150 What is the value of the chi‑square statistic for the test of independence for this table? - 7.239 -3.84 -5.156 -1.645
Toxaphene is an insecticide that has been identified as a pollutant in the Great Lakes ecosystem. To investigate the effect of toxaphene exposure on animals, groups of rats were given toxaphene in their diet. The article “Reproduction Study of Toxaphene in the Rat” (J. of Environ. Sci. Health, 1988: 101–126) reports weight gains (in grams) for rats given a low dose (4 ppm) and for control rats whose diet did not include the insecticide. The sample standard deviation for 23 female control rats was 32 g and for 20 female low-dose rats was 54 g. Does this data suggest that there is more variability in low-dose weight gains than in control weight gains? Assuming normality, carry out a test of hypotheses at significance level .05.

Genetics Two human traits controlled by a single geneare the ability to roll one’s tongue and whether one’s earlobes are free or attached to the neck. Genetic theory saysthat people will have neither, one, or both of these traitsin the ratio 1:3:3:9 (1 attached, noncurling; 3 attached, curling; 3 free, noncurling; 9 free, curling). An Introduc-tory Biology class of 122 students collected the data shown. Are they consistent with the genetic theory? Testan appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusion.
