Most companies that make golf balls and golf clubs use a one-armed robot named "Iron Byron" to test their balls for length and accuracy, but because of swing variations by real golfers, these test robots don't always indicate how the clubs will perform in actual use. One company in the golfing industry is interested in testing its new driver to see if has greater length off the tee than the best-selling driver. To do this, it has selected a group of golfers of differing abilities and ages. Its plan is to have each player use each of the two clubs and hit five balls. It will record the average length of the drives with each club for each player. The resulting data for a sample of 10 players is: Player New Club 236.4 Leading Club 237.2 200.4 240.8 259.3 218.9 200.6 1 2 202.5 245.6 4 257.4 223.5 6. 205.3 266.7 240 278.9 211.4 258.9 236.5 280.5 206.5 6. 10 Based on these sample data, what is the point estimate for the difference between the mean distance for the new driver versus the leading driver? A) 233.4 B) -3.45 C) 1.55 D) 2.81

A rural county presently uses Asphalt A to pave its highways, but is considering using themore expensive Asphalt B (which is reported to be more durable). The two types of asphaltare tested using 200m test strips on five different two-lane highways. On each test strip, arandomly selected lane was paved with Asphalt A and the lane in the opposing direction waspaved with Asphalt B. It has been determined that it is more economical to use Asphalt B ifthe length of time before resurfacing is required (i.e. longevity) is at least 2.5 years longer onaverage than that of Asphalt A. Assume that the longevity of each type of asphalt is normally distributed. Using a 2% significance level and assuming that the data for the two types of asphalt at eachtest strip can be paired, determine if Asphalt B lasts at least 2.5 years longer than Asphalt Aon average.

Two of the mathematics professors at Enormous State University are Professor A (known for easy grading) and Professor F (known for tough grading). Last semester, roughly three-fifths of Professor F's class consisted of former students of Professor A; these students apparently felt encouraged by their (utterly undeserved) high grades. (Professor F's own former students had fled in droves to Professor A's class to try to shore up their grade point averages.) At the end of the semester, as might have been predicted, all of Professor A's former students wound up with a C− or lower. The rest of the students in the class—former students of Professor F who had decided to "stick it out"—fared better, and one-fourth of them earned higher than a C−. After discovering what had befallen them, all the students who earned C− or lower got together and decided to send a delegation to the Department Chair to complain that their grade point averages had been ruined by this callous and heartless beast!…
A neuroscientist hypothesizes that she found the region in the rat brain responsible for the motion of the right paw. She trains 20 right-handed rats in a specific task to push a lever to to receive a tasty pellet of food. After the all the rats learn the behavior, she randomly selects 10 of them a does a surgery to place an implant on the brains of rats through which a lazer can deactivate the said region in the brain. After the rats heal, she runs all the rats through the same task. While 10 of them went through the experiment unbothered, the other 10 who had the implant were stimulated by a lazer through their implants to disrupt the functioning of the hypothesized critical region. The neuroscientist collected the amount of rewards(number of food pellets received)the rats in both groups were able to collect:Xsurgery: 2, 4, 3, 1, 5, 3, 4, 1, 3, 4Xcontrol: 5, 6, 4, 6, 8, 9, 2, 5, 6, 3 d. Calculate 95% confidence intervals for the estimate of the difference.

The television show Lett3rs has been successful for many years. That show recently had a share of 19, which means, that among the TV sets in use, 19% were tuned to Lett3rs. An advertiser wants to verify that 19% share value by conducting its own survey, and a pilot survey begins with 10 households have TV sets in use at the time of a Lett3rs broadcast. If at most one household is tuned to Lett3rs, does it appear that the 19% share value is wrong? (Hint: Is the occurrence of at most one household tuned to Lett3rs unusual?) A. no, it is not wrongB. yes, it is wrong
a) The base chassis of a manufactured product is made up of numerous components. There can sometimes be differences in dimensions between components, requiring the partially assembled product to be sent to another department for extra fitting work because some components cannot be fitted in place. The majority of fitting problems are caused by two particular components (identified as B and F): the chances of a randomly chosen component of type B not fitting are 3.7%, and the chances of a randomly chosen component of type F not fitting are 2.8%. (i) Given that the problems with fitting these two components are independent of each other and that components are selected randomly for assembly on each base chassis, what is the probability that both components B and F will have problems fitting on a given chassis? ii) How likely is it that there will be problems fitting components B and F to a given chassis under the same assumptions? (b) (i) The probability distribution of the number of…

A particular orchid species has extensions on its flowers called nectar spurs. It has been hypothesized that these spurs improve pollination by requiring long-tongued pollinators to press further against the flower in order to reach the distant nectar at the bottom of the spur. To test this, researchers shortened the spurs of 59 orchids, while leaving another 59 orchids intact as controls. After a week, they found that 10 of the shortened flowers had been pollinated, while 27 of the control flowers had been pollinated. How would you test whether there was a difference in pollination rate for shortened vs. intact flowers?

A researcher knows from decades of past research that scores on IQ tests have an average μ = 100. The researcher collects a sample of students from their own university and wants to know if the students they are studying are smarter than the average person based on past research. What test will they use to evaluate their hypothesis?
