You are interested in determining which of two brands of light bulbs, brand A and brand B, lasts longer under differing conditions of use. Fifty Bovano lamps are fitted with brand A light bulbs, and 50 Bulbrite lamps are fitted with brand B light bulbs. Each light bulb is left on for 20,000 hours straight. Light bulb life is then measured for each bulb, and the average light bulb life for the two brands is compared. What is wrong with this experimental design? Nothing is wrong with this design. The type of lamp is a confounding variable. Not enough light bulbs of each type are used in the study. The experiment should have been conducted on more than two brands of lamps.
Researchers interested in lead exposure due to car exhaust sampled the blood of 52 police officers subjected to constant inhalation of automobile exhaust fumes while working traffic enforcement in a primarily urban environment. The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 124.32 µg/l and a SD of 37.74 µg/l; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level concentration of 35 µg/l. Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for the average blood concentration level of police officers contain 35 µg/l? Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for this difference contain 0? Explain why or why not.
A manufacturer of extruded plastic products finds that its average daily inventory is 1,250 pieces. A new marketing policy comes into effect and it is desirable to test H0: the average daily inventory is still the same, indicates which alternative hypothesis should be used if: a. You want to know whether or not the new policy changes the average daily inventory.b. It is desirable to demonstrate that the new policy actually reduces the average daily inventory.c. The new policy should be retained as long as it cannot be shown that it actually increases daily inventory.
Based on the following information, answer the following questions according to the stages of the solution: A drug manufacturer claims that a drug of its own production is 90% effective in relieving allergies for 8 hours. In a sample of 200 people with allergies, the drug relieved pain in 160 of them. Is the manufacturer's claim true on the level of morale? 1%.
Consider the following: In general, when people diet they typically lose 10 lbs. (?σ = 2). A random sample of 16 people on the keto diet lost 15 lbs. Do people on the keto diet lose more or less weight than people on diets in general? -Weight loss in the keto diet sample does differ from weight loss in the population of dieters in general (H1: X-bar does not equal Mu) -On average, weight loss in the keto diet sample does not differ from weight loss in the population of dieters in general. (H0: X-bar = Mu)) Question: 1. What is μxbar? 2.What is σxbar?

People having Raynauds syndrome are apt to suffer a sudden impairment of blood circulation in fingers and toes. In an experiment to study the extent of this impairment, each subject immersed a forefinger in water and the resulting heat output (cal/cm2/min) was measured. For m = 12 subjects with the syndrome, the average heat output was x = 0.64, and for n = 12 non-sufferers, the average output was 2.05. Let µ1 and µ2 denote the true average heat outputs for the two types of subjects. Assume that the two distributions of heat output are normal with σ1 = 0.2 and σ2 = 0.2. 1) Consider testing H0: µ1 − µ2 = 0 versus Ha: µ1 − µ2 < 0 at level 0.01. Describe in words what Ha says, and then carry out the test. 2) What is the probability of a type II error when the actual difference between µ1 and µ2 is µ1 − µ2 = −1.2? 3) Assuming that m=n, what sample sizes are required to ensure that β=0.1when µ1− µ2 = −1.2?
In a certain suburb of Montréal, residents have expressed their worries about the quality of the air. Of particular concern is the concentration (in μg/m3) of particulate matter smaller than 2.5 μm in size (PM2.5). The environmental standard is a PM2.5 concentration of 15 μg/m3 or less. 9-a) To conduct this study, Thomas installs 25 PM2.5 detectors at different locations in the suburban area. Each detector will provide one reading of PM2.5 concentration at a given time. With 25 detectors, what is the probability that Thomas declares the sample mean of PM2.5 concentrations significantly greater than the environmental standard while the population mean is 16 μg/m3? The population variance is assumed to be known and equal to 9. Use α = 0.01. 9-b) Thomas is interested to purchase a new and cheaper instrument to measure PM2.5 concentration. He is worried, however, that the precision of the new instrument may be lower than that of the current one. To be acceptable, the standard…
A developmental psychologist working in the area of suggestion asked a sample of children to solve as many problems as they could in 15 minutes. Half of the children are told that this is a problem-solving task and the other half are told that this is just a time-filling task. The psychologist is interested in the impact of the suggestion on problem solving. What can be concluded with an α of 0.01? Below is the data for the number of problems solved.
