A smartphone manufacturer is so certain of its quality control that it offers a complete replacement warranty if the smartphone fails within 3 years. Based upon compiled data, the company notes that there is a 2 percent chance that its smartphone will fail during the first year, a 10 percent chance that a smartphone that survives the first year fails during the second year, and a 20 percent chance that a smartphone that survives the first two years fails during the third year. The warranty does not cover replacement smartphones after the third year. (a) Formulate the evolution of the status of the smartphone as a Markov Chain whose states include two abosrbing states that involve needing to honor the warranty or having the smartphone survive the warranty period. Construct the transition probability matrix and draw the transition probability diagram. (b) Determine the probability that: (a) the manufacturer will have to honor the warranty and (b) the manufacturer will not…
A large manufacturing company investigated the service it received from its suppliers and discovered that, in the past, 38% of all material shipments were received late. However, the company recently installed a just-in-time system in which suppliers are linked more closely to the manufacturing process. A random sample of 150 deliveries since the just-in-time system was installed reveals that 33 deliveries were late. If we want to test whether the proportion of late deliveries was reduced signicantly at = 0:10 the null and alternative hypotheses are a. Null hypothesis (H0) b. Alternative hypothesis (HA)
1) A cement producer, manufactures and then fills 40kg-bags of powder cement on twodistinct production tracks located in separate suburbs. To determine whether differencesexist between the average fill rates for the two tracks, a random sample of 25 bags fromTrack 1 and a random sample of 16 bags from Track 2 were recently selected. Each bag’sweight was measured and the following information measures from the samples arereported:Production ProductionTrack 1 Track 2n1 = 25 n2 = 16x2 = 40.02 x1 = 39.87 s1 = 0.59 s2 = 0.88 Supervision believes that the fill rates of the two tracks are normally distributed with equalvariances.Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the true mean difference between the twotracks.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------2) Two independent simple random samples were selected from two normallydistributed populations with unequal variances yielded the following information:Sample 1…
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) mandates certain regulations that have to be adopted by corporations. Prior to the implementation of the OSHA program, a company found that for a sample of 40 randomly selected months, the mean employee time lost due to job-related accidents was 45 hours. After implementation of the OSHA program, for a random sample of 45 months, the mean employee time lost due to job-related accidents was 39 hours. It can be assumed that the variability of time lost due to accidents is about the same before and after implementation of the OSHA program (with a standard deviation being 3.5 hours). Find a 90% confidence interval for the difference in the mean time lost due to accidents. Test the hypothesis that implementation of the OSHA program has reduced the mean employee lost time. Use a level of significance of 0.10.
According to a certain government agency for a large country, the proportion of fatal traffic accidents in the country in which the driver had a positive blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.33.Suppose a random sample of 109 traffic fatalities in a certain region results in 47that involved a positive BAC. Does the sample evidence suggest that the region has a higher proportion of traffic fatalities involving a positive BAC than the country at the α=0.05 level of significance?
A personal computer manufacturer is interested in comparing assembly times for two keyboard assembly processes. Process 1 is the standard process used for several years, and Process 2 is an updated process hoped to bring a decrease in assembly time. Assembly times can vary considerably from worker to worker, and the company decides to eliminate this effect by selecting a random sample of 8 workers and timing each worker on each assembly process. Half of the workers are chosen at random to use Process 1 first, and the rest use Process 2 first. For each worker and each process, the assembly time (in minutes) is recorded, as shown in the table below. Worker 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Process 1 86 53 43 64 34 85 46 80 Process 2 82 32 33 37 11 87 44 47 Difference(Process 1 - Process 2) 4 21 10 27 23 −2 2 33 Based on these data, can the company conclude, at the…

A low-level CDC bureaucrat wants to please his boss by gathering evidence that the current government mandated shut down of society is not causing people's mental health to deteriorate, so that it can safely be continued for several years if the expert says is necessary. He pulls a random sample of 1600 citizens, Gathering data on such items as income loss, weight gain, access to toilet paper, our spent binge watching Netflix, and number of injuries caused by household fight, and compiles all this into a significantly-weighted "misery index". The mean misery index from the sample is 99.2; it seems reasonable to use a population standard deviation o=19.1. A. Does this information provide significant evidence (at the 5% level) that the Nationwide mean misery index is less than 100? Set up appropriate null and alternative hypothesis, calculate the appropriate test statistic, find the p-value, and state your conclusion.
A random sample of 148 small businesses was taken. During a 5 year time frame, 16 of the 106 businesses headed by men failed, and the 6 of the 42 headed by women failed. Find the p's (success) and q's (failures) of the study.
A consumer products testing group is evaluating two competing brands of tires, Brand 1 and Brand 2. Though the two brands have been comparable in the past, some technological advances were recently made in the Brand 1 manufacturing process, and the consumer group is testing to see if Brand 1 will outperform Brand 2. Tread wear can vary considerably depending on the type of car, and the group is trying to eliminate this effect by installing the two brands on the same random sample of 8 cars. In particular, each car has one tire of each brand on its front wheels, with half of the cars chosen at random to have Brand 1 on the left front wheel, and the rest to have Brand 2 there. After all of the cars are driven over the standard test course for 20,000 miles, the amount of tread wear (in inches) is recorded, as shown in Table 1.

A sociologist wants to investigate the question, "Is there a relationship between texting during class and grade-point-average (GPA) among high school seniors in a large district?" Which study design is most appropriate? Before the semester starts, randomly select 40 seniors from each high school who do not text during class. Assign 20 to the texting treatment group (text three or more times during every class meeting) and 20 to the control group (no texting during class). At the end of the semester, obtain each student’s GPA from the appropriate admissions and records office. Compare the GPA of students who routinely text during class to the GPA of students who do not text during class. Before the semester starts, randomly select 40 seniors from each high school who do not text during class. Assign 20 to the texting treatment group (text three or more times during every class meeting) and 20 to the control group (no texting during class). At the end of the semester,…

In particular, each car has one tire of each brand on its front wheels, with half of the cars chosen at random to have Brand 1 on the left front wheel, and the rest to have Brand 2 there. After all of the cars are driven over the standard test course for 20,000 miles, the amount of tread wear (in inches) is recorded, as shown in the table below. Based on these data, can the consumer group conclude, at the 0.01 level of significance, that the mean tread wear of Brand 1 exceeds that of Brand 2?…
