Oil content of fried sweet potato chips. Refer to the Journal of Food Engineering (September 2013) study of the characteristics of fried sweet potato chips, Exercise 7.90 (p. 407). Recall that a sample of 6 sweet potato slices fried at 130° using a vacuum fryer yielded the following statistics on internal oil content (measured in gigagrams [Gg]):

- The Board of Transportation and Safety (BTS) wants to examine the safety mechanisms of A, B, and C-class cars. Samples of 10 cars for each class were used. The board members collect the pressure exerted overall on the driver’s body during an impact test. Assume alpha of 0.05. What is dfbetween = ? What is dfwithin = ?

Five samples of the material were tested in a structure, and the average interior temperatures (°C) reported were as follows: 23.01, 22.22, 22.04, 22.62, and 22.59. Test that the average interior temperature is equal to 22.5°C using alpha (a) = 0.05. This problem is a test on what population parameter? What is the null and alternative hypothesis? What are the Significance level and type of test? What standardized test statistic will be used? What is the standard test statistic? What is the Statistical Decision?

The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 124.32 µg/l and a SD of 37.74 µg/l; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level concentration of 35 µg/l. 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. Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for the average blood concentration level of police officers contain 35 µg/l? Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for this difference contain 0? Explain why or why not.arrow_forwardAs the alpha level gets lower, which error rate also gets lower? Type I Type IIarrow_forward
