Suppose that, as Human Resources Manager of a firm with more than 10,000 employees, you are interested in understanding: (i) what fraction of those employees are satisfied with their working conditions and (ii) how many hours your employees spend each evening reading and writing work-related emails. You do not have the budget to survey all employees, so you a sample of 200 employees. The results reveal that: (i) 125 of the sample employees are satisfied with their working conditions and (ii) sample employees spend, on average, 2.2 hours each evening reading and writing work-related emails, with a sample standard deviation of 0.4 hours. 1. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the proportion (p) of employees who are satisfied with their working conditions. 2. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the mean number of hours employees spend reading and writing work-related emails each evening.
The control department of a light bulb manufacturer randomly picks 4400 light bulbs from the production lot every week. The records show that, when there is no malfunction, the defect rate in the manufacturing process ( due to imperfections in the material used) is 1%. When 1.25% or more of the light bulbs in the sample of 4400 are defective, the control unit calls repair technicians for service. Answer the following.

What is your favorite color? A large survey of countries, including the United States, China, Russia, France, Turkey, Kenya, and others, indicated that most people prefer the color blue. In fact, about 24% of the population claim blue as their favorite color.† Suppose a random sample of n= 52 college students were surveyed and r= 8of them said that blue is their favorite color. Does this information imply that the color preference of all college students is different (either way) from that of the general population? Use? =0.05.
A factory that produces parts for the aviation industry sells in lots of 300 units each. The acceptance sampling plan used in the factory works as follows: The first sample of 9 units is taken, in this example, if no defective unit is found, the batch is accepted, if more than 3 defective units are found, the batch is rejected. Otherwise, a second sample of 19 units is taken, if the total number of defects in two samples is at most 3, the batch is accepted. Answer the following questions, assuming that the defective product ratio of batches is 0.03 a)Calculate the probability of accepting the lot examined in the first example. b)Calculate the probability of rejecting the analyzed lot in the first example. c)List possible alternatives to be able to accept this party. (For which values of d1 and d2 can a party be accepted?) d)Calculate the acceptance probability of the lot. e)
