A group of nutritionists is hoping to show that a new soybean compound has more protein per gram than roast beef, which has a mean protein content of 20 grams. A random sample of 5 batches of a large supply of soy compound have been tested, producing protein contents of 15, 22, 17, 18, and 23 grams. Which of the following conditions have been met? I. The data is a random sample from the population of interest. II. The sample size is less than 10% of the population size. III. The sample size is large. O I only O I and II OI, Il and III O Il only O II only

Have you ever been frustrated because you could not get a container of some sort to release the last bit of its contents? An article reported on an investigation of this issue for various consumer products. Suppose five 6.0 oz tubes of toothpaste of a particular brand are randomly selected and squeezed until no more toothpaste will come out. Then each tube is cut open and the amount remaining is weighed, resulting in the following data: 0.52, 0.63, 0.43, 0.5, 0.35. Does it appear that the true average amount left is less than 10% of the advertised net contents? USE SALT (a) Check the validity of any assumptions necessary for testing the appropriate hypotheses.

Is the amount of sodium (in milligrams) in brand-name cereals the same as the amount of sodium in generic cereals? The sodium content in milligrams from a random sample of some brand-name cereals is given in the table below. Brand-Name: x=139.92 , s=61.24 , n=21 Generic: x=154.33 , s=73.87 , n=24 Is there a difference between the sodium content in generic and brand-name cereals? Use a significance level of 0.10. hypothesis test is needed

Bighorn sheep are found in the mountainous western United States. In the following data, x = the age of bighorn sheep in years and y = the percentage of that age group that die during the course of a year (mortality rate). In the table below, when x = 5, y = 20 meaning that 20% of the sheep aged between 5 and 6 years old die. A random sample of sheep provided the following information: x 1 2 3 4 5 y 14 18.9 14.4 19.6 20 ∑ x = 15 ; ∑ y = 86.9 ; ∑ x 2 = 55 ; ∑ y 2 = 1544.73 ; ∑ x y = 273.4 find m for this data

Bighorn sheep are beautiful wild animals found throughout the western United States. Let x be the age of a bighorn sheep (in years), and let y be the mortality rate (percent that die) for this age group. For example, x = 1, y = 14 means that 14% of the bighorn sheep between 1 and 2 years old died. A random sample of Arizona bighorn sheep gave the following information: x 1 2 3 4 5 y 15.8 17.3 14.4 19.6 20.0 Σx = 15; Σy = 87.1; Σx2 = 55; Σy2 = 1,540.45; Σxy = 272 (a) Find x, y, b, and the equation of the least-squares line.

A student at a large university suspects Mr. Harsh is grading his statistics students too harshly. The student determines that over the past 2 years students in all sections of statistics (taught by other teachers) received grades of A, B, C, D, or F in the following proportions: A: 0.20; B: 0.30; C: 0.30; D: 0.10; and F: 0.10. The student then takes an SRS of 90 students who took statistics with Mr. Harsh in the past 2 years and gathers the following information: Grade Number of students B 26 12 28 15 The student performs the appropriate x procedure to test the hypothesis that the teacher's grade distribution is different from the other teachers, Which of the following expressions represents the expected count of the grade category D? O (0.10)(90) O 15? 90 (15-9) O (0.10)(15)
