Suppose that samples of polythene bags from two manufacturers A and B are tested by a prospective buyer for bursting pressure, with the following results:
If the prices are the same, which manufacture’s bags would be preferred by the buyer? Why?
An article in Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy (2005, Vol. 13, pp. 273-279) considered arthroscopic meniscal repair with an absorbable screw. Results showed that for tears greater than 25 millimeters, 14 of 18 (78%) repairs were successful, but for shorter tears, 22 of 30 (73%) repairs were successful. A doctor would like to know if there is evidence that the success rate is greater for longer tears. The P-value for the test H0: p1 = p2 versus H1: p1 > p2 is closest to:

Prior to obtaining data, denote the beam strengths by X1, . . . , Xm and the cylinder strengths by Y1, . . . , Yn. Suppose that the Xi's constitute a random sample from a distribution with mean μ1 and standard deviation σ1 and that the Yi's form a random sample (independent of the Xi's) from another distribution with mean μ2 and standard deviation σ2.
(a) Use rules of expected value to show that
X − Y
is an unbiased estimator of μ1 − μ2.
E(X − Y) = E(X) − E(Y) = μ1 − μ2
E(X − Y) =

Write down the hypotheses that would be appropriate for testing if the police officers appear to have been exposed to a higher concentration of lead. Explicitly state and check all conditions necessary for inference on these data. Test the hypothesis that the downtown police officers have a higher lead exposure than the group in the previous study. Interpret your results in context.

Researchers obtained birth records of all children born in Los Angeles between 2000 and 2008 and linked these to the Department of Developmental Services records to determine if any of those subjects had been diagnosed with ASD or not. They used the birth addresses given in the birth records to determine the average daily PM2.5 for the third trimester for each child. The standard deviation for PM2.5 among ASD subjects was found to be 34.6 and for non-ASD subjects was 16.8. Assume PM2.5 is normally distributed. 4a.
