1. Minting Quarters Specifications for a quarter require that it be 8.33% nickel and 91.67% copper; it must weigh 5.670 g and have a diameter of 2426 mm and a thickness of 1.75 mm; and it must have 119 reeds on the edge. A quarter is considered to be defective if it deviates substantially from those specifications. A production process is monitored, defects are recorded and the accompanying control chart is obtained. Does this process appear to be within statistical control? If not identify any out-of-control criteria that are satisfied. Is the manufacturing process deteriorating?

In an attempt to reduce the growth of its population, China instituted a policy limiting a familyto one child. Rural Chinese suggested revising the policy to limit families to one son. Assumingthe suggested policy is adopted and that any birth is as likely to produce a boy as a girl, and thesuccessive births are independent, explain the following:
(a) What would be the average family size?
(b)What would be the ratio of newborn boys to newborn girls?
a) If the prevalence rate is 50%, the sensitivity is 85%, and the specificity is 90%, what will the PPV value be?
b) What are possible slider values that will produce a PPV value of 1?
c) What are possible slider valuse that will produce an NPV value of 1?
d) If sensitivity and specificity remain constant while prevalence decreases, what effect does that have on the PPV?
e) If prevalence and specificity remain constant while sensitivity increases, what effect does that have on the NPV?

Iron is essential to most life forms and to normal human physiology. It is an integral part of many proteins and enzymes that maintain good health. Recommendations for iron are provided in Dietary Reference Intakes, developed by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences. The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of iron for adult females under the age of 51 years is 18 milligrams (mg) per day. A hypothesis test is to be performed to decide whether adult females under the age of 51 years are, on average, getting less than the RDA of 18 mg of iron. 9.25 Iron Deficiency? Refer to Exercise 9.17. Explain what each of the following would mean. a. Type I errorb. Type II error c.
