What is a sample space?
Fasteners are manufactured for an application involving aircraft. Each fastener is categorized either as conforming (suitable for its intended use), downgraded (unsuitable for its intended use but usable for another purpose), and scrap (not usable). It is thought that 85% of the fasteners are conforming, while 10% are downgraded and 5% are scrap. In a sample of 500 fasteners, 405 were conforming, 55 were downgraded, and 40 were scrap. Can you conclude that the true percentages differ from 85%, 10%, and 5%? a) State the appropriate null hypothesis. b) Compute the expected values under the null hypothesis. c) Compute the value of the chi-square statistic. d) Find the P-value. What do you conclude?
The state education commission wants to estimate the fraction of tenth grade students that have reading skills at or below the eighth grade level. Step 1 of 2: Suppose a sample of 333 tenth graders is drawn. Of the students sampled, 260 read above the eighth grade level. Using the data, estimate the proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level. Enter your answer as a fraction or a decimal number rounded to three decimal places. Step 2 of 2: Suppose a sample of 333 tenth graders is drawn. Of the students sampled, 260 read above the eighth grade level. Using the data, construct the 80% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level. Round your answers to three decimal places.
A consumer-testing agency wants to evaluate the claim made by a manufacturer of discount tires. The manufacturer claims that its tires can be driven at least 35,000 miles before wearing out. To determine the average number of miles that can be obtained from the manufacturer’s tires, the agency randomly selects 60 tires from the manufacturer’s warehouse and places the tires on 15 cars driven by test drivers on a 2-mile oval track. The number of miles driven (in thousands of miles) until the tires are determined to be worn out is given in the following table. Car Miles Driven 1 25 2 27 3 35 4 42 5 28 6 37 7 40 8 31 9 29 10 33 11 30 12 26 13 31 14 28 15 30 Average 31.47 Standard 5.04 Agency would like to know if the manufacturer’s claim is false. Carryout an appropriate hypothesis test (use 1% significance level). Check any assumptions you think are relevant before doing the text.
Your place of employment is trying to determine whether to allow its employees to work from home for2 days a week. Knowing that you’ve previously taken a statistics course, your boss asks you to “figure itout”. You create a survey to gauge employee interest in this area.1. Formerly, your place of employment has tried to give surveys to everyone, a census, but only a fewpeople responded to the email. Your new plan is to randomly choose some employees and administerthe survey yourself. You put everyone’s name on a numbered list and randomly choose numbers untilyou have your sample. What form of sampling is being described here?2. Suppose you want to estimate the percentage of employees who want to work from home. Doingsome research on the internet, you find a recent study that found that 72% of employees prefer a hybridremote-office model. Using that value as your sample proportion, ?̂, estimate how many people youwould need to survey in order to estimate the percentage in your company…

Place a 99% confidence interval on the average number of miles driven, m, prior to the tires wearing out. b. Is there significant evidence (a 5 .01) that the manufacturer’s claim is false? What is the level of significance of your test? Interpret your findings.
A lawyer received a complaint from a representative for factory workers somewhere in Pampanga. The workers were being forced to work for more than 8 hours. 8 hours is the average/normal work time per day in the Philippines as stated in the Labor Code and was initially stipulated by their employer when they were hired. They also reported that they were not receiving any compensation for their overtime work. The lawyer commissioned you to conduct a survey involving 10 randomly selected workers from the factory to inquire about their work time. The data you collected is displayed below. 8 hours 6 hours 5 hours 10 hours 14 hours 3 hours 9 hours 8 hours 11 hours 14 hours Use the P-Value Approach in testing the complaint of the workers. 1) Estimate μ at 99% confidence interval. 2) If you drew the wrong conclusion and gave the labor lawyer the wrong advice, what type of error would you have committed?
Camille for her part wants to assess the impact of an awareness campaign aimed at reducing the amount of household food waste. The campaign is taking place in a subset of neighborhoods of Ville de Montréal. Camille’s objective is to compare the average amount of food waste produced in those neighborhoods, with that in neighborhoods not targeted by the campaign. Therefore, she randomly chooses five neighborhoods targeted by the campaign and five neighborhoods where the campaign does not take place. In each of the 10 neighborhoods, she monitors the weekly amount of food waste (kg) for each of a number of households, and calculates amounts on a per household basis; see below. Is the amount of food waste per household in the neighborhoods targeted by the campaign lower, on average, than in those not targeted by the campaign? Use α= 0.05.
A company studied the number of lost-time accidents occurring at its brownsville,Texas, plant. historical records show that 6% of the employees suffered lost-time accidents last year. Management believes that a special safety program will reduce suchaccidents to 5% during the current year. In addition, it estimates that 15% of employeeswho had lost-time accidents last year will experience a lost-time accident during thecurrent year.a. What percentage of the employees will experience lost-time accidents in bothyears?

Each fastener is categorized either as conforming (suitable for its intended use), downgraded (unsuitable for its intended use but usable for another purpose), and scrap (not usable). It is thought that 85% of the fasteners are conforming, while 10% are downgraded and 5% are scrap. In a sample of 500 fasteners, 405 were conforming, 55 were downgraded, and 40 were scrap. Determine whether or not the true percentages differ from 85%, 10% and 5%? Which model best fit the above problem and why? Suggest any assumption you would make in choosing the above model and why?
Supposed Wall Street securities firms claim that they paid out year end bonuses of an average of 95,000 per employee last year. we take a sample of employee at the ASBE securities firm to see whether the average year-end bonus is less than the report mean of 95,000 for the populations.
4. Failure to meet payments on student loans guaranteed by the United States (U.S.) government has been a major problem for both banks and the government. Approximately 50% of all student loans guaranteed by the government are in default. A random sample of 350 loans to college students in one region of the U.S. indicates that 147 loans are in default. Do the data indicate that the proportion of student loans in default in this area of the country differs from the proportion of all student loans in the U.S. that are in default? Use α = 0.01. (i) The alternative hypothesis for the above problem is
