Suppose 1.5% percent of the ball bearings made by a machine are defective and the ball bearings are packed 200 to a box. Compute the pf of the number of defective ball bearings in the box and compare it to the Poisson approximation.
A producer of pocket calculators purchases the main processor chips in lots of1,000. The producer would like to have a 1 percent rate of defectives but willnormally not refuse a lot unless it has 4 percent or more defectives. Samples of50 are drawn from each lot, and the lot is rejected if more than two defectives arefound.b. Compute A and B Use the Poisson approximation for your calculations

A researcher hypothesizes that in a certain country the net annual growth of private sector purchases of government bonds, B, is positively related to the nominal rate of interest on the bonds, NI, and negatively related to the rate of inflation Π: Bt = a0 + a1NIt + a2Π t + ut Note that it may be hypothesized that B depends on the real rate of interest on bonds, R, where R = NI – Π. Using a sample of 56 annual observations, s/he estimates the following equations: (1) Bt = 0.43 + 0.90NIt - 0.97Πt R21 = 0.962, SSR1 = 2.20, QRESET(F1,52) = 16.6 (3.58) (8.80) (-1.05) (2) Bt = 0.44 + 0.94Rt R22 = 0.960, SSR2 = 2.22, QRESET(F1,53) = 0.9 (9.70) (16.7) (3) Bt = 0.44 + 1.14NIt SSR3 = 9.20, QRESET(F1,53) = 59.9 (8.84) (36.1) (4) NIt = 0.08 + 0.94Πt R24 = 0.997, SSR4 = 0.18, QRESET(F1,53) = 1.4…
To increase egg production, a farmer decided to increase the number of times the lights in his henhouse were on. Ten hens were randomly selected, and the number of eggs each produced was recorded. After one week of lengthened light time, the same hens were monitored again. The data is given here. At α = 0.05, can it be concluded that the increased light time increased egg production?

Resistors labeled as 100 Ω are purchased from two different vendors. The specification for this type of resistor is that its actual resistance be within 5% of its labeled resistance. In a sample of 180 resistors from vendor A, 150 of them met the specification. In a sample of 270 resistors purchased from vendor B, 233 of them met the specification. Vendor A is the current supplier, but if the data demonstrate convincingly that a greater proportion of the resistors from vendor B meet the specification, a change will be made. a) State the appropriate null and alternate hypotheses. b) Find the P-value. c) Should a change be made?
Resistors labeled as 100 Ω are purchased from two different vendors. The specification for this type of resistor is that its actual resistance be within 5% of its labeled resistance. In a sample of 180 resistors from vendor A, 149 of them met the specification. In a sample of 270 resistors purchased from vendor B, 233 of them met the specification. Vendor A is the current supplier, but if the data demonstrate convincingly that a greater proportion of the resistors from vendor B meet the specification, a change will be made. P-value?
An SRS of 100 flights by Speedy Airlines showed that 64 were on time. An SRS of 100 flights by Happy Airlines showed that 80 were on time. Let pS be the proportion of on-time flights for all Speedy Airline flights, and let pH be the proportion of all on-time flights for all Happy Airlines flights. Is there evidence of a difference in the on-time rate for the two airlines? To determine this, you test the hypotheses H0 : pS – pH  0, Ha : pS – pH  0. The P-value of your test is 0.0117. Which of the following is an appropriate interpretation of the P-value? a. If the on-time rates for the two airlines are equal, there is a 0.0117 probability of getting samples with a difference as far or farther from zero as these samples. b. If the on-time rates for the two airlines are not equal, the probability of getting samples with a difference as far or farther from zero as these samples is 0.9883. c. The probability of making a Type I error is 0.0117. d. The probability of making a Type II error…
52. (Based on Balson et al. [1992].) An electric utilitycompany is trying to decide whether to replace its PCBtransformer in a generating station with a new and safertransformer. To evaluate this decision, the utility needsinformation about the likelihood of an incident, such as afire, the cost of such an incident, and the cost of replacingthe unit. Suppose that the total cost of replacement as apresent value is $150,000. If the transformer is replaced,there is virtually no chance of a fire. However, if thecurrent transformer is retained, the probability of a fireis assessed to be 0.005. If a fire occurs, the cleanupcost could be high ($100 million) or low ($30 million). The probability of a high cleanup cost, given that a fireoccurs, is assessed at 0.3.a. If the company uses EMV as its decision criterion,should it replace the transformer?b. Perform a sensitivity analysis on the key parametersof the problem that are difficult to assess, namely,the probability of a fire, the probability…
