As part of the quality-control program for a catalyst manufacturing line, the raw materials (alumina and a binder) are tested for purity. The process requires that the purity of the alumina be greater than 85%. A random sample form a recent shipment of alumina yielded the following results (in %): 93.2 87.0 92.1 90.1 87.3 93.6 A hypothesis test will be done to determine whether or not to accept the shipment. (a) Compute the sample mean and sample standard deviation. (b) State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses. (c) Compute the P-value. (d) Should the shipment be accepted? Explain

You want to conduct a test to determine whether there are significant differences in the mean impurity levels for polymers produced with three different catalysts. Which statistical test is appropriate for this scenario? Select one: a. paired t test b. one-sample t test c. one-way ANOVA d. two-sample t test
A student decides to spin a dime and determine the proportion of times it lands on heads. The student spins the dime 25 times and records that it lands on heads 17 times. Let p = the true proportion of times the dime would land on heads when spun. Under the assumption that the true proportion is 0.5, 100 simulated proportions for samples of size 25 is shown in the dotplot. Using the dotplot, is there evidence that the proportion of times a spun dime lands on heads is greater than 0.5? A) Yes, a proportion of 0.68 proves that the true proportion of heads is greater than 0.5. B) Yes, a proportion of 0.68 only occurred once out of 100 simulated proportions; therefore, there is sufficient evidence that the true proportion of heads is greater than 0.5. C) No, a proportion of 0.68 is only 0.18 more than 0.5; therefore, there is insufficient evidence that the true proportion of heads is greater than 0.5. D) No, a proportion of 0.68 or more occurred 7 times out of 100 simulated…

Samples were collected from two ponds in the Bahamas to compare salinity values (in parts per thousand). Several samples were drawn at each site. Pond 1: 37.03, 37.45, 36.75, 37.54, 37.71, 37.02, 37.32 Pond 2: 38.89, 39.05, 38.51, 38.53, 38.71 Use a 2% significance level to test the claim that the two ponds have the same mean salinity value. Assume that nothing is known about the population distribution of salinities. (a) Enter the rank values in the same order as in the original sample. The rank values for Pond 1 are: The rank values for Pond 2 are: (b) The test statistic is: . (c) The test critical value is: . (d) The conclusion isA. There is not sufficient evidence to indicate that the two ponds have different distributions of salinity values.B. There is sufficient evidence to indicate that the two ponds have different distributions of salinity values.

Consider two models. One model predicts a house's current valuation on the LHS, and uses last year's tax assessment value on the right hand side. Call this model 1. Consider a second model that predicts the number of spouses 70 year olds have had on the left hand side, and uses their monthly number of church visits on the RHS side. Assume that both models rely on samples with the exact same n. Which of the following statements is most likely to be true? Group of answer choices The first model probably has better fit, and a smaller SSR The first model probably has worse fit, and a smaller SSR The first model probably has worse fit, and a larger SSR The first model probably has better fit, and a larger SSR The first model is probably uncovering a non-causal relationship, while the second model is probably a causal relationship
