ABC Cookie Company takes samples of finished boxes of cookies weighing them to make sure the weight filled stays within the targeted amount. Some variation of course, is to be expected. But too much presents a production issue. Your job is to find out if this process is stable enough to continue.
Samples are taken for 20 days. The number of boxes checked each day is 100. The 20 samples measured reveal the following proportions found to have defective weights:

Research by Singh et al. as reported in the journal Clinical Immunology and Immunopathology
is concerned with immune abnormalities in autistic children. As part of their research they took
measurements on the serum concentration of an antigen in three samples of children, all of
whom were 10 years old or younger. The results in units per milliliter of serum follow.
Autistic Children: 755, 385, 380, 215, 400, 343, 415, 360, 345, 450, 410, 435, 460, 360, 225
Normal Children: 165, 390, 290, 435, 235, 320, 330, 205, 375, 345, 305, 220, 270, 355, 360

Recall that small effects may be statistically significant if the samples are large. A study of small-business failures looked at 147 food-and-drink businesses. Of these, 103 were headed by men and 44 were headed by women. During a three-year period, 15 of the men's businesses and 6 of the women's businesses failed.
(a) Find the proportions of failures for businesses headed by men (sample 1) and businesses headed by women (sample 2). These sample proportions are quite close to each other.

Give the P-value for the z test of the hypothesis that the same proportion of women's and men's businesses fail. (Use the two-sided alternative.) The test is very far from being significant. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.)

City A: n = 10, X10 = 148.5, S1 = = 4.3. City B: n = 10, Y 10 = 144.2, S2 = 3.8. At a = 0.05 level of significance, test if the weekly sales are different. The following ¨answers" have been proposed. (a) The null hypothesis is that the weekly sales are the same and the alternative is that the they are not the same. By using an F test, we reject the null hypothesis. (b) The null hypothesis is that the weekly sales are the same and the alternative is that the they are not the same. By using an F test, we do not reject the null hypothesis. (c) The null hypothesis is that the weekly sales are the same and the alternative is that the they are not the same. By using a i test, we do not reject the null hypothesis.

It is known that o₁ = ₂ = 1.0 psi. From a random sample size n₁ = 10 and n₂ = 12, you obtain x₁ = 162.5 and ₂ = 155.0. The company will not adopt plastic 1 unless its mean breaking strength exceeds that of plastic 2 by at least 10 psi. Based on the sample information, should the company use plastic 1? Use a = 0.05.arrow_forward

After running the regression, we test whether the coefficients of the variables hhsize1 and hhsize2 are equal at 5% significance level. The value of the F-statistic is 26.32.

If yes, which additional variables would you include to control for omitted variable bias?arrow_forwardA nutrition store in the mall is selling "Memory Booster" which is a concoction of herbs and minerals that is intended to improve memory performance. To test the effectiveness of the herbal mix, a researcher obtains a sample of n = 16 people and has each person take the suggested dosage each day for 4 weeks. At the end of the four-week period, each individual takes a standardized memory test. The scores from the sample produced a mean of M = 26 with a sample variance of s2 = 64. In the general population, the standardized test is known to have a mean of μ = 20. 1. Do the sample data support the conclusion that the Memory Booster has a significant "booster" effect? Test with α = .05. Hint: think about 1- or 2-tail test to use. 2. Compute Cohen's d and r2 to measure the treatment effect size.arrow_forward
