It is important that face masks used by firefighters be able to withstand high temperatures because firefighters commonly work in temperatures of 200–500°F. In a test of one type of mask, 11 of 55 masks had lenses pop out at 250° (a)Construct a 90% CI for the true proportion of masks of this type whose lenses would pop out at 250° (b)Based on this, what would be your recommendations to the manufacturer regarding this specific face mask?

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.
After doing AVONA on the SPSS I got result of sig. 0.165. What does that say about my data and hypothesis? How should I comment on it?
A physician wants to test if temperature has an effect on heart rate. In order to do this, she compares the heart rate in beats per minute of several random volunteers after a period of time in a room with a temperature of 50∘F and after a period of time in a room with a temperature of 75∘F. Suppose that data were collected for a random sample of 11 volunteers, where each difference is calculated by subtracting the heart rate in beats per minute in the 50∘F room from the heart rate in beats per minute in the 75∘F room. Assume that the populations are normally distributed. The test statistic is t≈5.627, α=0.05, the corresponding rejection regions are t<−2.228 and t>2.228, the null hypothesis is H0:μd=0, and the alternative hypothesis is Ha:μd≠0. Which of the following statements are accurate for this hypothesis test in order to evaluate the claim that the true mean difference between the heart rate in the 75∘F room and the heart rate in the 50∘F room is significantly not equal to…

Compare the two separate scatterplots. In particular, how do the associtation compare between women with pets vs. women without pets? Does one group have more variation in systolic blood pressure than the other? If so, for which group? Does systolic blood pressure seem higher for common ages between the two groups? If so, for which group?
The amount of oxygen consumption (ml/min) was measured in 6 individuals over two 10- minute periods while sitting with their eyes closed. During the first period, they listen to an exciting adventure story and then again, an hour later while they heard restful music. Based on the results shown, is oxygen consumption different depending on whether it is a story or music one is listening to? The data is in Table 2 and test at an alpha of 0.05. -Do using formulas not excel
Pepsi Co. Pvt Ltd is planning to produce a new energy drink. For this purpose, a pilot study was conducted using four different energy drinks formula. They were tested on 3 different sets of people and the reactions in energy level of the people were measured forming four groups. Using the data (measured energy level values) provided below, test whether there is difference in the four energy drinks. Perform this by finding F ratio. What is F ratio at 95% CI?. The data is as shown in Table 1. Formula 1 Formula 2 Formula 3 Formula 4 84 26 13 38 65 42 32 25 70 52 45 37 Table 1
Next, given a situation in which a research reports a large eta squared effect size (eta squared = .64), why might their reported t value be small and not statistically significant? What may be inference from such a situation? Indicate and provide examples of three of the factors that influence the size of t.
Later, when the medical devices are in full production, a consultant advised that the breaking strength of these devices should not be less than 5.5 psi (pounds per square inch) on average. In the latest batch produced, a technician has noticed a visual defect that may affect the breaking strength of the devices. To investigate, a sample of 8 devices are randomly selected from the batch and the pressure at which they break are recorded as : 6.6, 7.7, 8.0, 6.3, 6.1, 6.3, 6.3, 6.1 these are summarized as having an average breaking strength of 6.68 psi and a standard deviation of s = 0.75 psi. Test, at significance level α = 0.05, whether there is evidence that the average breaking strength of the batch of devices is less than the required breaking strength, by testing the hypotheses: H 0: μ = 5.5 psi H a: μ < 5.5 psi. An estimate of the population mean is . The standard error is . The distribution is (examples: normal / t12 / chisquare4 / F5,6). The test statistic has value TS=…
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.
Thomas wants to compare the mean concentration of carbon monoxide (CO) on residential versus commercial streets, since these differ in terms of car traffic. In each of three neighborhoods of Montréal (named A, B, and C below), he randomly chooses four locations for each type of street, for a total of 24 observations (2 street types x 3 neighborhoods x 4 locations). At each location, he measures CO concentration in the air over a period of 10 hours (8:00 AM-6:00 PM), and obtains the following data (in ppm/h). 10-a) Draw a graph that gives insight into the possible presence of an interaction between the two classification factors. Do you suspect the presence of an interaction? Explain why.

Question: Test whether or not the difference between residential and commercial streets in mean atmospheric CO concentration is the same among the three neighborhoods, and whether or not CO concentration in the air is the same, on average, for the two types of streets. Note that Neighborhood is considered a random block factor in the ANOVA. Use significant level= 0.05.
