Three different assembly methods have been proposed for a new product. A completely randomized experimental design was chosen to determine which assembly method results in the greatest number of parts produced per hour, and 30 workers were randomly selected and assigned to use one of the proposed methods. The number of units produced by each worker follows.

The chemical benzene is highly toxic to humans. However, it is used in the
manufacture of many medicine dyes, leather, and coverings. Government
regulations dictate that for any production process involving benzene, the
water in the output of the process must not exceed 7,950 parts per million
(ppm) of benzene. For a particular process of concern, the water sample
was collected by a manufacturer 25 times randomly and the sample
average x was 7960 ppm. It is known from historical data that the standard
deviation o is 100 ppm.
(a) What is the probability that the sample average in this experiment would
exceed the government limit if the population mean is equal to the limit?
(b) Is an observed x = 7960 in this experiment a firm evidence that the
population mean for the process exceeds the government limit? Assume
that the distribution of benzene concentration is normal.

- A forester wanted to survey spruce trees on one face of a mountain in order to determine the percentage of spruce trees that were infested or were attacked by a very destructive insect known as the tomentosus. The forester obtained a map of the mountain and then subdivided the area of interest into 400 square grids with each square covering an area of 100 square metres. A simple random sample of 50 squares was selected, and for each selected square, the survey team determined the total number of spruce trees and the number of such trees that were infested or had been attacked by the tomentosus. What sampling design was used for this survey? If the tomentosus is believed to be evenly distributed throughout the face of this mountain, would you recommend this sampling design? Why or why not? If the tomentosus prefers to reside in regions of the mountain face with higher temperatures and hence lower elevations, would you recommend using a different sampling design? Explain your answer…arrow_forwardThe research and development (R&D) department of a paint manufacturer recently developed a new paint product. The developers are concerned the average area covered per gallon will be less for the new paint than for the existing product. To investigate this concern, the R&D department set up a test in which two random samples of paint were selected. The first sample consisted of 25 one-gallon containers of the company's existing product, and the second of 15 one-gallon containers of the new paint. The statistics shown were computed from eachsample and refer to the number of square feet that each gallon will cover. Based on the sample data, what should the developers conclude using a significance level of 0.05?

- The impact of a low-calorie diet on laboratory mice's longevity is being investigated by a medical researcher. Twenty mice are split into two groups (E and F) by random. A typical diet is given to Group E, while Group F is given a diet that only contains 70% as many calories as Group E's diet. The length of life (in days) of each mouse over the 36-month trial is documented. Table 2 provides the data that was obtained.

The scientist hypothesizes that all three methods will be equally effective at catching the fruit flies. To investigate, he releases a random sample of 300 fruit flies in an enclosed area containing each of the three traps. He finds that 145 got stuck on the sticky paper, 80 were caught in the liquid trap, and 75 were caught in the container trap. He would like to know if these data provide convincing evidence that the three methods are not equally effective at catching fruit flies.

- A pet food company has a business objective of expanding its product line beyond its current kidney and shrimp cat foods. The company conducted an experiment to compare its two existing products with three other products (chicken liver, salmon, and beef) sold in a supermarket chain. For the experiment, a sample of 50 cats from the population at a local animal shelter was selected. Ten cats were randomly assigned to each of the five products being tested. Each of the cats was then presented with 3 ounces of the selected food in a dish at feeding time. The researchers defined the variable to be measured as the number of ounces of food that the cat consumed within a 10-minute time interval that began when the filled dish was presented. The results for this experiment are summarized in the following table.
