A production supervisor at a major chemical company wishes to determine whether a new catalyst, catalyst XA-100, increases themean hourly yield of a chemical process beyond the current mean hourly yield, which is known to be roughly equal to, but no morethan, 750 pounds per hour. To test the new catalyst, five trial runs using catalyst XA-100 are made. Assuming that all factors affectingyields of the process have been held as constant as possible during the test runs, it is reasonable to regard the five yields obtainedusing the new catalyst as a random sample from the population of all possible yields that would be obtained by using the new catalyst.Furthermore, we will assume that this population is approximately normally distributed.Regard the sample of 5 trial runs for which s= 19.71 as a preliminary sample. Determine the number of trial runs of the chemicalprocess needed to make us: (Round up your answers to the next whole number.)(a) 95 percent confident that ī, the sample mean hourly yield, is within a margin of error of 8 pounds of the population mean hourlyyield u when catalyst XA-100 is used.ntrial runs(b) 99 percent confident that a is within a margin of error of 5 pounds of pu.ntrial runs

(a) The sample size is 5, and sample standard deviation is 19.71, margin of error is 8, and confidence level is 95%. The degrees of freedom is, df=n-1=5-1=4 The degrees of freedom is 4. Computation of critical value: The critical value of t-distribution for 0.05 level of significance at 4 degrees of freedom can be obtained using the excel formula “=T.INV.2T(0.05,4)”. The critical value is 2.7764. The number of trial runs of the chemical process needed is, n=tα2sE2=2.7764×19.7182=6.84035552=46.79≈47 Thus, the number of trial runs of the chemical process needed is 47.(b) Computation of critical value: The critical value of t-distribution for 0.01 level of significance at 4 degrees of freedom can be obtained using the excel formula “=T.INV.2T(0.01,4)”. The critical value is 4.6041. The number of trial runs of the chemical process needed is, n=tα2sE2=4.6041×19.7182=11.3433513752=128.6716≈129 Thus, the number of trial runs of the chemical process needed is 129.

Victims of Violence A random survey of 90 women who were victims of violence found that 24 were attacked by relatives. A random survey of 60 men found that 10 were attacked by relatives. At a= .05 , can it be shown that the percentage of women who were attacked by relatives is different the percentage of men who were attacked by relatives? Use p1 for the proportion of women who were attacked by relatives. Use the critical value method with tables and round all intermediate calculations to at least three decimal places. State the hypotheses and identify the claim H0: H1: one tailed or two tailed Find the critical value(s). Round the answer to at least three decimal places and ensure your degrees of freedom are correct before proceeding. If there is more than one critical value, seperate them with commas.

You want to obtain a sample to estimate the proportion of a population that possess a particular genetic marker. Based on previous evidence, you believe approximately p*= 25% of the population have the genetic marker. You would like to be 90% confident that your estimate is within 1.5% of the true population proportion. How large of a sample size is required? n = Do not round mid-calculation. However, you may use a critical value accurate to three decimal places.
2. Consider a study where students are measured on whether they had an internship during their time at WKU (Y/N) and whether they had a job at graduation (Y/N). If we wanted to test whether having an internship was associated with having a job at graduation (i.e., internship holders were more likely to have jobs), why would the chi-square test be inappropriate for this hypothesis? How should we analyze our data?
