A consumer-testing agency wants to evaluate the claim made by a manufacturer of discount tires. The manufacturer claims that its tires can be driven at least 35,000 miles before wearing out. To determine the average number of miles that can be obtained from the manufacturer’s tires, the agency randomly selects 60 tires from the manufacturer’s warehouse and places the tires on 15 cars driven by test drivers on a 2-mile oval track. The number of miles driven (in thousands of miles) until the tires are determined to be worn out is given in the following table. Car Miles Driven 1 25 2 27 3 35 4 42 5 28 6 37 7 40 8 31 9 29 10 33 11 30 12 26 13 31 14 28 15 30 Average 31.47 Standard 5.04 Agency would like to know if the manufacturer’s claim is false. Carryout an appropriate hypothesis test (use 1% significance level). Check any assumptions you think are relevant before doing the text.
The state education commission wants to estimate the fraction of tenth grade students that have reading skills at or below the eighth grade level. Step 1 of 2: Suppose a sample of 333 tenth graders is drawn. Of the students sampled, 260 read above the eighth grade level. Using the data, estimate the proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level. Enter your answer as a fraction or a decimal number rounded to three decimal places. Step 2 of 2: Suppose a sample of 333 tenth graders is drawn. Of the students sampled, 260 read above the eighth grade level. Using the data, construct the 80% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level. Round your answers to three decimal places.
A company studied the number of lost-time accidents occurring at its brownsville,Texas, plant. historical records show that 6% of the employees suffered lost-time accidents last year. Management believes that a special safety program will reduce suchaccidents to 5% during the current year. In addition, it estimates that 15% of employeeswho had lost-time accidents last year will experience a lost-time accident during thecurrent year.a. What percentage of the employees will experience lost-time accidents in bothyears?

A company's quality engineer wants to check whether the average weight of the products coming out of the packaging line does not exceed 10 grams. For this, he measured the weights of the products coming out of the line by making random selection. Measurement values respectively; 8, 11,9,11,9,7,11,10,10,9. After a while ; A press machine with a newer technology has been replaced by a press machine where product losses are frequently experienced in the packaging line. and products with the same features were weighed after being processed in this new pressing machine. After the new pressing machine, the weights of the products were measured as follows; 8,8,13,17,8,12,16,14,13,15. a) Test whether the average weight of the products currently exceeds 10 grams or not, at a = 0.05 significance level, by writing the relevant hypotheses and applying all necessary steps to make a decision. Write down the decision you made as a result of the hypothesis test and interpret your decision. b)The…
A county clerk wants to improve voter registration. He wants to send out reminders in the mail to all citizens in the county who are eligible to vote. To determine if it will actually improve voter registration, a random sample of 1250 potential voters was taken. No reminders were sent out to a group of 625 eligible voters and of those 625, 299 registered to vote. Reminders were sent out to another group of 625 voters and of those 348 registered to vote. The county clerk claims that the proportion of people who registered was significantly greater in the group that was sent the reminders. Using a 0.10 significance level, test the claim that the proportion of registered voters is higher in the group that received the reminders. What is the decision for this test? Reject the null because the test statistic is in the critical region and the p-value is less than alpha. Fail to reject the null because the test statistic is not in the critical region and the p-value is less than…

A regional government is interested in expanding the facilities of a day care center for mentally retarded children. day care center for mentally retarded children. The expansion will increase the cost of enrolling children in the center. A sample survey is to be conducted to estimate the proportion of families with affected children who will use the expanded facilities. The families are divided between those who use the current facilities and those who do not. Some families live in the city where the center is located, and others live in the surrounding suburban and rural areas. Thus, stratified random sampling is used with people from the city where the center is located. stratified sampling is used with people in the city using the facility, people in the surrounding area using the facility, people in the city not using the facility, and people in the surrounding area not using the facility, forming strata 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. Approximately 90% of current users and 50% of…
Suppose we observe 84 alcoholics with cirrhosis of the liver, of whom 29 have hepatomas—that is, liver-cell carcinoma. Suppose we know, based on a large sample, that the risk of hepatoma among alcoholics without cirrhosis of theliver is 24%. What is the smallest number of hepatomas that would have to be observed among the alcoholics with cirrhosis of the liver for the hepatoma experience in this group to differ from the hepatoma experience among alcoholics without cirrhosis of the liver? (Hint: Use a 5% probability of getting a result at least as extreme to denote differences betweenthe hepatoma experiences of the two groups.)
