20. An orange juice manufacturer advertises a new orange juice product that contains 50% less sugar. This new product is expected to increase profits substantially because they create the 50% less sugar product by replacing 50% of the juice with water while selling it for the same price. An inspector wants to investigate whether the actual percentage of water in the product is within 5% of the intended 50%. He selects a random sample of 500 containers of orange juice and determined the percentage of each that is water. He plans to conduct a significance test at the a = 0.01 level to see if there is convincing evidence that the proportion of water added is different from 0.50. What is the probability that the inspector makes a Type I error? (A) 0.01 (B) 0.05 (C) 0.10 (D) 0.45 (E) 0.50

C1. A computer spam filter is 98% effective at sending spam emails to my junk folder, but will also incorrectly send 1% of legitimate emails to my junk folder. Suppose that 1 in 10 emails are spam. What proportion of emails in my junk folder are actually legitimate emails? Explain your solution fully - you may use any results from the lectures provided you state them clearly.
13. According to Wikipedia, as of November 30, 2019, 43.5% of registered voters in Mercer County are registered democrats (pm = 0.435), and 24.5% of registered voters in Hunterdon County are registered democrats (ph = 0.245). A researcher decides to take an SRS of 45 registered voters in Mercer County and an independent SRS of 45 registered voters in Hunterdon County to investigate, and is surprised when he gets a greater sample proportion of registered democrats in the Hunterdon County sample. Calculate and interpret the probability that the sample proportion of registered democrats in Hunterdon County is greater than the sample proportion of registered democrats in Mercer County. Be sure to show all of your work. (Note- - for those of you wondering why the percentages of registered democrats in the "blue" state of New Jersey are so low, many registered voters in New Jersey do not register with any particular political party)

17. A new prep class was designed to improve SAT test scores. Five students were selected at random. Their scores on two practice exams were recorded, one before the class and one after. The data recorded in Table. Are the scores, on average, higher after the class? Test at a 5% level. (You can use the traditional method or p-value method). Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your final answer to three decimal places.

The manager of a restaurant plans to survey a random sample of customers to estimate the proportion of customers who would return within a week if given a coupon for a free dessert to use on their next visit. A similar coupon was given last year, and 30 percent of the customers who were given the coupon returned within a week. The manager will use the observed proportion from last year as a preliminary estimate of the population proportion and wants the margin of error to be at most 0.04 at a 90 percent level of confidence. Of the following, which is the least number of customers who should be surveyed such that the estimate of the margin of error of the 90 percent confidence interval will be no greater than 0.04?

1. The data in Table 7–6 were collected in a clinical trial to evaluate a new compound designed to improve wound healing in trauma patients. The new compound was com- pared against a placebo. After treatment for 5 days with the new compound or placebo, the extent of wound healing was measured. Is there a difference in the extent of wound healing between the treatments? (Hint: Are treatment and the percent wound healing independent?) Run the appropriate test at a 5% level of significance. Use the data in Problem 1. Pool the data across the treatments into one sample of size n = 250. Use the pooled data to test whether the distribution of the percent wound healing is approximately normal. Specifically, use the following distribution 30%, 40%, 20%, and 10% and a = 0.05 to run the appropriate test. Percent Wound Healing Treatment 0-25% 26-50% 51-75% 76-100% New compound (n=125) 15 37 32 41 Placebo (n=125) 36 45 34 10

3. Scenario It is believed that large doses of acetaminophen (the active ingredient in over the counter pain relievers like Tylenol) may cause damage to the liver in nearly half of those tested. A researcher wants to conduct a study to estimate if the proportion of acetaminophen users who have liver damage is the same as previously reported. For participating in this study, he will pay each subject $20 and provide a free medical consultation if the patient has liver damage. Part A If he wants to limit the margin of error of his 98% conﬁdence interval to 2%, what is the minimum number of subjects he needs? (answer should be in the form of x,xxx) the minimum amount of money he needs to set aside to pay his subjects? $ (answer should be in the form of $xx,xxx) Part B The amount you calculated in Part A is substantially over his budget so he decides to use fewer subjects. Will this change increase or decrease the width of his conﬁdence interval? Will this new confidence interval be…
