Chapter 2.8, Problem 21E
In Exercises 2.20–2.22, identify whether the design is a completely randomized design, randomized complete block design, or Latin square design. If there is a factorial structure for the treatments, specify whether it has a two-factor or three-factor structure. If the measurement units are different from the experimental units, identify both.
2.21 A company is planning on purchasing a software program to manage its inventory. Five vendors submit bids on supplying the inventory control software. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the software, the company’s personnel decide to evaluate the software by running each of the five software packages at each of the company’s 10 warehouses. The number of errors produced by each of the software packages is recorded at each of the warehouses.

Lipitor A clinical trial of Lipitor treatments is being planned to determine whether its effects on diastolic blood pressure are different for men and women.
A local government official observes an increase in the number of individuals with cardiovascular and obesity problems in his barangay. In order to improve the health conditions of his constituents, he aims to promote an easy and cheap way to reduce weight. It is known that obesity results in risk of having illnesses like diabetes and heart problems. He encouraged his constituents to participate in his "Dance for Life" project every weekend for three months. To know if the program is effective in reducing weight, he randomly selected 12 participants from the group who completed the program. The weight loss data, in kilograms, of the 12 randomly selected participants after completing the program, are
0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 2.0, 2.3, 2.4, 2.7, 3.0.
It is known that the weight loss of those who have completed the dance program follows a normal distribution with variance of 3.24 ??2.

The International Council of Shopping Centers reports that the average teenager spends $57 during a shopping trip to the mall. The promotions director of a local mall has used a variety of strategies to attract area teens to his mall, including live bands and “teen appreciation days” that feature special bargains for this age group. He believes teen shoppers at his mall respond to his promotional efforts by shopping there more often and spending more when they do. Mall management decides to evaluate the promotions director’s success by surveying a simple random sample of 45 local teens and finding out how much they spent on their most recent shopping visit to the mall. Use a suitable hypothesis test in examining whether the mean mall shopping expenditure for teens in this area might be higher than for U.S. teens as a whole. Identify and interpret the p -value for the test. Using the 0.025 level of significance, what conclusion do you reach?

She will need to provide a recommendation for how to allocate the vaccines appropriately across the city. She takes a simple random sample of 360 people living in East Vancouver and finds that 42 have recently had the flu. The epidemiologist will recommend East Vancouver as a location for one of the vaccination programs if her sample data provide sufficient evidence to support the hypothesis that the true proportion of people who have recently had the flu is greater than 0.06. A test of hypothesis is conducted. What is the null hypothesis?A. The true proportion of residents who have recently had the flu is greater than 0.06.B.

- In Exercises 5–20, conduct the hypothesis test and provide the test statistic and the P-value and/or critical value, and state the conclusion. Mendelian Genetics Experiments are conducted with hybrids of two types of peas. If the offspring follow Mendel’s theory of inheritance, the seeds that are produced are yellow smooth, green smooth, yellow wrinkled, and green wrinkled, and they should occur in the ratio of 9:3:3:1, respectively. An experiment is designed to test Mendel’s theory, with the result that the offspring seeds consist of 307 that are yellow smooth, 77 that are green smooth, 98 that are yellow wrinkled, and 18 that are green wrinkled. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the results contradict Mendel’s theory.arrow_forwardIn Exercises 1–5, use the following survey results: Randomly selected subjects were asked if they were aware that the Earth has lost half of its wildlife population during the past 50 years. Among 1121 women, 23% said that they were aware. Among 1084 men, 26% said that they were aware (based on data from a Harris poll).

In a commissioned study, 462 students are selected randomly from a list of all students enrolled at the college. Of these, 162 admitted to having engaged in binge drinking.

- According to the February 2008 Federal Trade Commission report on consumer fraud and identity theft, 23% of all complaints in 2007 were for identity theft. In that year, Alaska had 321 complaints of identity theft out of 1,432 consumer complaints ("Consumer fraud and," 2008). Does this data provide enough evidence to show that Alaska had a lower proportion of identity theft than 23%? Test at the 5% level.arrow_forward#2.The Gallup organization periodically polls adults living in the U.S. about the issue ofimmigration. Participants are asked whether they think immigration should increase,decrease, or stay at present levels. When this question was asked in June of 2016, 38%of respondents said they thought immigration should decrease. When it was asked inJune of 2018, 29% of respondents said they thought immigration should decrease.For the purpose of this problem, suppose that the sample size was 200 in both 2016 and2018, and that each represented a simple random sample of adults living in the U.S. atthat time. Is there evidence for a real change in opinion among U.S. adults between2016 and 2018, or do you think the results are just due to chance? Carry out all thesteps for a two-sample z test and state your conclusion.

Do these data provide enough evidence to show that the state had a higher proportion of identity theft than 23%? Test at the 10% level.arrow_forward

Elements are randomly selected from equal-sized blocks of the total population.arrow_forwardMike Jimenez is president of the teachers’ union for Preston School District. In preparing for upcoming negotiations, he would like to investigate the salary structure of classroom teachers in the district. He believes there are three factors that affect a teacher’s salary: years of experience, a rating of teaching effectiveness given by the principal, and whether the teacher has a master’s degree (0 = No, 1 = Yes).
