8. Two different companies (A and B) have applied to provide cable television ser- vice in a certain region. Let p denote the proportion of all potential subscribers who favor the company A over the company B based on a random sample of 25 individuals. Consider the case that company A wants to increase its produc- tion. Let the test statistic X be the number in the sample who favor the first company and x represent the observed value of X and a = 0.05. 8.1. What are the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses? Describe the two types of errors that company A might make. Identify which is a Type I error and which is a Type II error. Which one is more 8.2. serious. If we reject Ho for X > 8, calculate the probability of making type II error for p = 0.75. [Use the table given for exact value] 8.3.

2. It has been hypothesized that treatments of plastic used in optic lenses will improve wear. Four different treatments are to be tested. To determine whether any differences in mean wear exist among treatments, 28 castings from a single formulation of the plastic were made and 7 castings were randomly assigned to each of the treatments. Wear was determined by measuring the increase in "haze" after 200 cycles of abrasion (better wear being indicated by smaller increases). The data collected are reported in the accompanying table. Treatment BcD A 9.16 11.95 11.47 11.35 13.29 15.15 9.54 8.73 12.07 14.75 11.26 10.00 11.97 14.79 13.66 9.75 13.31 15.48 11.18 11.71 12.32 13.47 15.03 12.45 11.78 13.06 14.86 12.38 83.90 98.65 87.00 76.37 11.986 14.093 12.429 10.910 Is there evidence of a difference in mean wear among the four treatments?

The deflection temperature under load for two different types of plastic pipe is being investigated. Two random samples of 15 pipe specimens are tested, and the deflection temperatures observed are as follows (in oF): Type 1: 206, 188, 205, 187, 194, 193, 207, 185, 189, 213, 192, 210, 194, 178, 205. Type 2: 177, 197, 206, 201, 180, 176, 185, 200, 197, 192, 198, 188, 189, 203, 192. 1. Determine the coefficient of dispersion of each type of plastic pipe. 2. Interpret the results. Compare the SDUS of the 10th observation in each type. What conclusion can you make?

A private and a public university are located in the same city. For the private university, 1042 alumni were surveyed and 655 said that they attended at least one class reunion. For the public university, 804 out of 1317 sampled alumni claimed they have attended at least one class reunion. Is the difference in the sample proportions statistically significant? (Use α=0.05) a) Reject the null hypothesis which states there is no difference in the proportion of alumni that attended at least one class reunion in favor of the alternate which states there is a difference in the proportions. b) Fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is not enough evidence to conclude that there is a difference in the proportions. c) There is not enough information to make a conclusion.
In a previous poll, 39% of adults with children under the age of 18 reported that their family ate dinner together seven nights a week. Suppose that, in a more recent poll, 422 of 1145 adults with children under the age of 18 reported that their family ate dinner together seven nights a week. Is there sufficient evidence that the proportion of families with children under the age of 18 who eat dinner together seven nights a week has decreased? Use the x = 0.01 significance level.

A nutritionist in the FDA wants to compare the caloric content of medium French fries sold by Wendonald (Population 1) and McKing (Population 2) fast-food chains, to see if there is any difference between them. To test this, random samples from each chain is taken and the caloric contents of French fries are measured. The finding is summarized in the table on next page. Conduct an independent-samples t test to test whether there is any difference between the caloric content of French fries sold by the two chains, following the steps below. Wendonald McKing = 32 = 30 = 390 calories = 365 calories = 30 calories = 38 calories Write down the null and alternative hypotheses using proper notation Calculate (Write all steps) What is the value of for α = 0.05 with a two-tailed test?
