A company regularly takes deliveries of aparticular sensitive part from threesubcontractors A, B, and C. The proportionof the product delivered that are good ordefective differ from time to time.Subcontractors that deliver non-defectiveproducts are considered reliable in terms ofquality and have high probabilities. Arandom sample from large recent totaldeliveries indicates 35% and 31% of theproduct came from subcontractors A and B,respectively. Moreover, the sampleindicates the percentage of defectives are4% for both A and C, and 2% for C. In termsof quality, what is the probabilitycorresponding to the most reliablesubcontractor?

It was reported that only one job vacancy was available for three recent college graduates. The main reason is that there is an excess of college graduates and a weak national economy. A survey of 100 recent graduates from your college reveals that 60 graduates have found work. At the 0.05 level of significance, can we conclude that the proportion of graduates who have found employment is greater?
A researcher wants to test the effectiveness of a new drug to treat asthma. One hundred patients with chronic, stable asthma were randomly assigned to one of three groups to receive a placebo (0mg), 1mg of drug, or 5 mg of drug. After treatment, a doctor tested the patient’s forced expiratory volume for 1 second (FEV1). Which statistical test would be best to determine if there is a significant difference between groups?
A researcher is studying whether average GPA is dependent on whether the students are in a 2-year college, public university, or private university. The researcher should use a 1-way ANOVA for this study. True or false
What source of variation is found in an ANOVA summary table for a within subjects design that is not in an ANOVA summary table for a between subjects design. What happens to this source of variation in a between-subjects design?
List the four assumptions for the two-way (or factorial) ANOVA.
Cholesterol levels are assessed for two groups of children, 2 to 14 yearsold. Group A is composed of randomly sampled 100 children whose fathers have died from heart disease. Group B are 300 randomly sampled children whose fathers do not have heart disease. The data points in both groups are randomly sampled, and normally distributed and that is all that can be assumed. FULLY conduct the appropriate hypothesis test to determine if cholesterol levels in the two groups of children are significantly different. Group Mean cholesterol sd N A 207.3 36.6 100 B 193.4 11.3 300
Results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted thirty years ago revealed that out of 378 randomly selected adults in the United States 57 were considered to be obese. In this year’s National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, out of 426randomly selected adults in the United States 135 were considered to be obese. Based on these results, can one conclude, at the 0.01 level of significance, that the percentage of adults in the United States that are obese is considerably higher now than it was thirty years ago?
Why is it NOT possible to calculate an ANOVA on the following hypothesis: Males have a higher number of total arrests than females?
True or False Selection bias will be zero if the average value of the observed outcome variable of the control group is equal to the average value of the outcome variable of the treatment group if the treatment group had not received the treatment.
A manufacturing manager reports to the CEO that 5% of products that come off the assembly line are defective. A study is performed to investigate this claim. In a random sample of 250 products that come off the assembly line, 14 are found to be defective. The CEO wants to know if the data provide convincing evidence that the true proportion of defective products differs from 0.05. Are the conditions for inference met? Yes, the conditions for inference are met. No, the 10% condition is not met. No, the Large Counts Condition is not met. No, the randomness condition is not met.
A researcher studied iron-deficiency anemia in women in each of two developing countries. Differences in the dietary habits between the two countries led the researcher to believe that anemia is less prevalent among women in the first country than among women in the second country. A random sample of 1900 women from the first country yielded 441 women with anemia, and an independently chosen, random sample of 1800 women from the second country yielded 461 women with anemia. Based on the study can we conclude, at the 0.01 level of significance, that the proportion p₁ of women with anemia in the first country is less than the proportion P₂ of women with anemia in the second country? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified in the parts below.
