1. A certain prescription allergy medicine is supposed to contain an average of 245 parts per million (ppm) of a certain chemical. If the concentration is higher than 245 ppm, the drug will likely cause unpleasant side effects, and if the concentration is below 245 ppm, the drug may be ineffective. The manufacturer wants to check whether the mean concentration in a large shipment is the required 245 ppm or not. To this end, a random sample of 64 portions from the large shipment is tested, and it is found that the sample mean concentration is 248 ppm with a sample standard deviation of 10.5 ppm. (a) Construct 95% confidence interval for the population mean concentration. Carry out the hypothesis test (b) State the appropriate hypothesis. (c) What is the standardized test statistics under null hypothesis?

1. Birds can regrow feathers if they are lost. A researcher was interested in whether newly regrown feathers in the tails of northern flickers differed in colour (yellowness in particular) compared to older feathers. To test this, they measured the yellowness of one new and one randomly selected old feather on each of 20 birds. A plot of their data and the results of their analysis are shown below. Yellowness 160 150 140 130 new X Feather old Welch Two Sample t-test = data: Yellowness by Feather t = 1.5832, df 37.986, p-value 165 sample estimates: mean in group new mean in group old 147.9623 143.3000 160 New 155 150 145 140 135 = 0.1217 alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 0 95 percent confidence interval: -1.299296 10.623962 T T T T T 130 135 140 145 150 155 160 Old a) From the results above, what is the null hypothesis and what statistical conclusion do you make concerning it?

3. Suppose that the inside diameter of bulb lamp manufactured by a company are normally distributed with a sample of 200 bulb lamps, µ = 0.502 inches, and o = 0.005 inches. A bulb lamp will be considered defective if its diameter is less than 0.496 inches or greater than 0.508 inches. What is the percentage of defective bulb lamp produced by the company? What did the answer indicate?
1. Tim Hortons wanted to estimate the difference in the mean amounts of caffeine in two brands of coffee. They took a sample of 18-lbs jars of Brand I and another sample of 13-lbs jars of Brand II coffee. The following summary data (sample statistics) are collected? nį = 10 x, = 23 S1 = 3 Brand I Brand II n2 = 12 x2 = 25 S2 = 4 Assume that the two populations are normally distributed. A. Test at 5 % level of significance, whether there is a difference in the mean amounts of caffeine between the 2 brands of coffee. B. Construct a 95% Confidence Interval to estimate the difference in the mean amounts of caffeine in 2 brands of coffee. C. Does the result in part b) confirm your findings from part a)?
A state fisheries commission wants to estimate the number of bass caught in a given lake during a season in order to restock the lake with the appropriate number of young fish. The commission could get a fairly accurate assessment of the seasonal catch by extensive “netting sweeps" of the lake before and after a season, but this technique is much too expensive to be done routinely. Therefore, the commission samples a number of lakes and record the seasonal catch (thousands of bass per square mile of lake area) and size of lake (square miles). A simple linear regression was performed and the following R output obtained. Estimate Std.

1. A purification process for a chemical involves passing it, in solution, through a resin on which impurities are adsorbed. A chemical engineer wishing to test the efficiency of 3 different resins took a chemical solution and broke it into 15 batches. She tested each resin 5 times and then measured the concentration of impurities after passing through the resins. The results of the Analysis of Variance on the data are shown below. Analysis of Variance Table Response: concentration Df Sum Sq Mean Sq F value Pr(>F) resin 2 1.45E-05 7.27E-06 0.048737 0.9526 Residuals 12 0.001789 0.000149 a.)

1.18 Cats on YouTube. Suppose you want to estimate the percentage of videos on YouTube that are cat videos. It is impossible for you to watch all videos on YouTube so you use a random video picker to select 1000 videos for you. You find that 2% of these videos are cat videos. Determine which of the following is an observation, a variable, a sample statistic (value calculated based on the observed sample), or a population parameter
