A company produces mini fridges a week at three plants. Plant A produces at a level of 35% per week, plant B produces at 20% per week, and plant C produces at 45% per week. Production records indicate that 6.2% of mini fridges produced at plant A will be defective, 2.4% of those produced at plant B will be defective, and 8.6% of those produced at plant Cwill be defective. All the mini fridges are shipped to a central warehouse. If a mini fridge at the warehouse is found to be defective, what is the probability that it was produced at plant A?

The owner of a small firm has just purchased a personal computer, which she expects will serve her for the next two years The owner has been told that she "must" buy a surge suppressor to provide protection for her new hardware against possible surges or variations in the electrical current, which have the capacity to damage the computer The amount of damage to the computer depends on the strength of the surge. It has been estimated that there is a 1% chance of incurring 350 dollar damage, 4% chance of incurring 200 dollar damage, and 10% chance of incurring 125 dollar damage from a surge within the next two years. An inexpensive suppressor, which would provide protection for only one surge, can be purchased. How much should the owner be willing to pay if she makes decisions on the basis of expected value?

Many investors and financial analysts believe the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gives a good barometer of the overall stock market. On January 31, 2006, 9 of the 30 stocks making up the DJIA increased in price (The Wall Street Journal, February 1, 2006). On the basis of this fact, a financial analyst claims we can assume that 30% of the stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) went up the same day.A sample of 80 stocks traded on the NYSE that day showed that 11 went up.You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of stocks that went up is is significantly less than 0.3. You use a significance level of α=0.02α=0.02.What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.)test statistic = What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.)p-value = The p-value is... less than (or equal to) αα greater than αα This test statistic leads to a decision to... reject the null accept the null fail…
Suppose you are a production manager for a small firm that manufactures designer phone cases. Your production facility utilizes three machines. Quality is binary — each phone case is either defective or it is not defective. Each hour, Machines 1, 2, and 3 produce 10, 10 and 20 phone cases, respectively. But because the machines differ slightly in their technology, data on past production has shown that they differ in terms of their rates of defective output — specifically, Machines 1, 2, and 3 have rates of defective production of 2%, 4%, and 5%, respectively. If one phone case is selected randomly from one hour’s total output, and that phone case is found to be defective, what is the probability that it was produced by Machine 1? Machine 2? Machine 3?
Suppose we are interested in the risk of peripheral neuropathy among persons with diabetes. To study this relationship, we identify 100 persons with a history of diabetes. At an initial examination, three of those 100 persons were found to have peripheral neuropathy. Five years later, the group was reexamined and 12 additional persons were found to have peripheral neuropathy. Based on that information, which of the following is closest to the five- year risk of peripheral neuropathy in this group of patients? А. О.03 В. О.07 С. О.12 D. 0.15 E. 0.17
5. A pet food company randomly chooses two groups of 20 puppies for a study. One group eats a new brand of dog food and the other group eats an off-brand dog food for a period of 4 weeks. Researchers record muscular and skeletal growth rates in both groups. What type of study is being described?
In an article published in 2012 at Telegraph.co.uk, Warranty Direct gave engine failure rates for a variety of car brands based on their database of UK direct consumer warranties. The following are known: ● Hondas failed at a rate of 1 in 344. ● Fords failed at a rate of 1 in 80. ● Audis failed at a rate of 1 in 27. Suppose Hondas account for 20% of sales at a particular dealer, Audis 30%, and Fords 50%. Assuming the engine failure rates apply to these vehicles. Determine the probability that a randomly selected vehicle from this dealer will experience engine failure.
Beryllium is an extremely lightweight metal that is used in many industries, such as aerospace and electronics. Long-term exposure to beryllium can cause people to become sensitized. Once an individual is sensitized, continued exposure can result in chronic beryllium disease, which involves scarring of the lungs. In a study of the effects of exposure to beryllium, workers were categorized by their duration of exposure (in years) and by their disease status (diseased, sensitized, or normal). The results were as follows: Duration of Exposure <1 1 to <5 ≥5 Diseased 14 13 18 Sensitized 11 20 15 Normal 78 140 209 Test the hypothesis of independence. Use the a=0.10 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator. What do you conclude? State the null and alternate hypotheses.
A researcher is studying two types of medication that both treat hives. 23 out of the random sample of 270 adults given medication A still had hives 30 minutes after taking the medication. 15 out of another random sample of 300 adults given medication B still had hives 30 minutes after taking the medication. Test to see if the proportion of people who still had hives after medicine A is different than the proportion of people who still had hives after medicine B. Use a 0.01 level of significance. The correct hypotheses are: Ho:PA PB (claim) Ho :PA PB H A:PA < PB (claim) Но :РА На :РА # рв (claim) = PB Since the level of significance is 0.01 the critical value is 2.576 and -2.576 The test statistic is: 1.684 x (round to 3 places) The p-value is: 0.092 x (round to 3 places) The decision can be made to:
According to a report by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), containers and packaging generated about 34.6% of all municipal solid waste (MSW) in the country in a recent year. This was the largest category of such waste. The next highest group was nondurable goods, which accounted for 25.4 % of waste. This was followed by durable goods at 10.9%, yard trimmings/other at 13.4%, and food scraps at 15.7%. Suppose last year, one large midwestern U.S. city processed 303 (1,000 tons) of MSW broken down by waste type as follows: Waste Type Containers and Packaging Nondurable Goods Durable Goods Yard Trimmings/Other Food Scraps MSW (1,000 tons) 129 73 28 45 28 Determine if there is a significant difference between the distribution of municipal solid waste in this midwestern city and the distribution released by the EPA a.
