Victor conducted a similar survey among undergraduate students at the University of Michigan using a random sample of the same sample size from the study conducted at Cornell University and obtained the same sample proportion. The undergraduate student body at the University of Michigan is almost twice as large as the undergraduate student body at Cornell University. Victor is concerned that the computation of the margin of error for a confidence interval for the population proportion will be affected by the population size. Do you agree with Victor's concern? O Yes, because he needs to have a similar portion of the population in his sample. O Yes, because the confidence interval assumptions require a large population. O No, because the margin of error is not affected by the population size. O No, because the sample will be representative of the population.

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)
Find a 90% confidence interval for the difference between the population means for the twolocations, assuming that the populations are approximately normally distributed.
A sports psychologist tests a new coaching method and finds that of the 43 novice athletes who were trained under the new method, they only froze/choked when in high stakes competition 3.5% of the time. If it is known that all novice athletes tend to freeze/choke 6% of the time when in high stakes competition (with a 3.2% average variation from the mean), what would the expected rate of all novice athletes trained using the new coaching method with 92% confidence? What is the highest bound estimate for how often all novice athletes would choke if trained under the new method?

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 29 deliveries were late. If we want to test whether the proportion of late deliveries was reduced significantly at α = 0.10. Calculate the null and alternative hypothese.
A manufacturer of chocolate chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 425 gram setting. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level that the bags are underfilled or overfilled? Assume the population is normally distributed. State the null and alternative hypotheses for the above scenario.

In building an arena, steel bars with a mean ultimate tensile strength of 400 Megapascal (MPa) with a variance of 81 MPa were delivered by the manufactured. The project engineer tested 50 steel bars and found out that the mean ultimate tensile strength is 390 MPa. The decision for the extension of the contract with the manufacturer depends on the engineer. Test the hypothesis whether there is no significant difference between the two means using a two-tailed with a=0.01
A manufacturer of chocolate chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 402 gram setting. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level that the bags are overfilled? Assume the population is normally distributed. State the null and alternative hypotheses for the above scenario.
In a study, Group 1 was found to have an average of 53 and a population standard deviation of 13 out of a random sample of 25. Group 2 was found to have an average of 42 and a population standard deviation of 9 out of a random sample of 16. With a 99% confidence interval, what is the smaller value?
