A chemical company is experimenting with four different mixtures of a chemical designed to kill a certain species of insect. Independent random samples of 200 insects are subjected to one of the four chemicals, and the number of insccts dead after 1 hour of exposure is counted. The results are summarized in table below. Observed Counts Mix 1 Mix 2 Mix 3 Mix 4 Total Dead 124 147 141 142 564 Not dead 76 53 59 48 236 Total 200 200 200 200 800 We want to test the hypothesis that the rate of kill is the same for all four mixtures. Test at the 5% level of significance.

A study of fox rabies in a country gave the following information about different regions and the occurrence of rabies in each region.

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)
Do lizards play a role in spreading plant seeds? Some research carried out in a country would suggest so. The researchers collected 400 seeds of this particular type of fig, 100 of which were from each treatment: lizard dung, bird dung, rock hyrax dung, and uneaten figs. They planted these seeds in batches of 5, and for each group of 5 they recorded how many of the seeds germinated. This resulted in 20 observations for each treatment. The treatment means and standard deviations are given in the accompanying table. Treatment n Uneaten figs 20 2.80 0.30 Lizard dung 20 2.75 0.37 Bird dung 20 2.10 0.35 Hyrax dung 20 1.85 0.26 n USE SALT (a) Construct the appropriate ANOVA table, and test the hypothesis that there is no difference between the means for the number of seeds germinating for the four treatments.

2) A local home inspector wants to test for lead levels in 10 homes using two different testing methods in each of the homes to determine the level of lead in each of the homes. Two different tests (A and B) are used to determine the level of lead found in each of ten randomly selected homes. The home inspector believes that Test A is more accurate than Test B. The data obtained, for lead level in each home using each method is shown in the table below. SPECIMEN 8| 9 2 3 4 6 7 10 A 22.7 23.6 24.0 26.6 27.2 28.7 35.0 32.5 44.1 47.3 Test B 23.0 23.2 23.5 25.6 27 27.1 33.2 35.3 40.5 47.8 a. Does this data provide convincing evidence to support the home inspectors claim? Provide a statistical justification to support your answer. b. What kind of error could you have made? What is one consequence of that error? c. Is the sample statistically significant at the 0.05 level? If not, at what significance level would these results be statistically significant at?
Hospital floors: Hospital floors are usually bare tiles instead of carpet. Carpets will decrease noise but might increase germ growth. To study this, researchers installed carpet in 8 of 16 hospital rooms. They randomly selected the rooms to carpet. The other rooms had bare tiles. After two weeks of normal use, they collected air samples from the rooms and counted the bacteria in each sample. Based on this description of the experiment, which of the following is a part of the experiment design? Check all that apply. Group of answer choices

Capsaicin content in red habanero chilli (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) is affected by the drying process. An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of using different drying temperatures (60 °C, 70 °C, and 80 °C) using an oven. Samples of red habanero chilli were procured. Upon checking, there were varying sizes of chilli and thus the experimenter grouped the samples according to size. Drying temperatures were then randomly assigned within each 8 hours. The capsaicin content was measured for each sample. The partial analysis of variance table is shown below: group for Source of Variation Fc p-value Size 2.1654 0.1560 Temperature 8.6013 0.0034 What is the maximum number of orthogonal contrasts that may be constructed for the post- hoc analysis of the effect of temperature?

A test is being designed to compare the wearing quality of two brands of tyres. Six cars were randomly selected, equipped with one tyre of brand A and one tyre of brand B (the other two tyres are not part of the test) and driven for one month.

Car Tyre brand 1 2 4 5 A 125 64 94 38 90 В 133 65 103 37 102 Do the sample data and provide sufficient evidence for us to conclude that the two brands show unequal wear at 5% level of significance

Two major automobile manufacturers have produced compact cars with engines of the same size. We are interested in determining whether or not there is a significant difference in the mean MPG (miles per gallon) when testing for the fuel efficiency of these two brands of automobiles. A random sample of eight cars from each manufacturer is selected, and eight drivers are selected to drive each automobile for a specified distance. The following data (in miles per gallon) show the results of the test. Assume the population of differences is normally distributed. Driver Manufacturer A Manufacturer B 1 36 30 2 31 31 3 30 28 4 30 27 5 29 27 6 33 30 7 35 25 8 29 31 The test statistic is 2.316. At ? = 0.10, the null hypothesis should be revised .should not be tested. should be rejected. should not be rejected.
