The City of South Lake Tahoe, CA, has an Asian population of 1,419 people, out of a total population of 23,609. Suppose that a survey of 1,419 self-reported Asians in the Manhattan, NY, area yielded the data in Table 11.38. Conduct a goodness-of-fit test to determine if the self-reported sub-groups of Asians in the Manhattan area fit that of the Lake Tahoe area.

To avoid difficulties with the Federal Trade Commission or state and local consumer protection agencies , a beverage bottler must make reasonably certain that 12 - ounce bottles actually contain 12 ounces of beverage . To determine whether a bottling ma chine is working satisfactorily , one bottler randomly samples 12 bottles per hour and measures the amount of beverage in each bottle . The mean 7 of the 12 fill measure ments is used to decide whether to readjust the amount of beverage delivered per bot tle by the filling machine . If records show that the amount of fill per bottle is normally distributed , with a standard deviation of .2 ounce , and if the bottling machine is set to produce a mean fill per bottle of 12.1 ounces , what is the approximate probability that the sample mean x of the 12 test bottles is less than 12 ounces ?

- “The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said about 72 million Americans—nearly one out of every four of the country’s 304 million residents—are considered obese. Millions more are designated as overweight.” The American trend toward obesity has prompted many physicians to offer weight-loss programs to their patients. [Source: Price, W. T. “Physicians Get into the Weight-Loss Business.” Florida Today, July 7, 2008.] A physician conducted an experimental study to compare the effectiveness of four different weight-loss programs. In the study, 64 obese adults were randomly assigned to the four programs so that each program had 16 adults. The programs lasted for six months. The weights of the subjects were measured before and after the programs, and each subject’s weight loss was computed in pounds. The following table summarizes the results of the study, giving the number of observations and the sample mean and variance of the subjects’ weight loss in each program.…arrow_forwardAccording to the February 2008 Federal Trade Commission report on consumer fraud and identity theft, 23% of all complaints in 2007 were for identity theft.

- Amie Jackson, a manager at Sigma travel services, makes every effort to ensure that customers attempting to make online reservations do not have to wait too long to complete the reservation process. The travel website is open for reservations 24 hours a day, and Amie regularly checks the website for the waiting time to maintain consistency in service. She uses the following independently drawn samples of wait time during two peak hours, morning 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and evening 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., for the analysis.
