A manufacturer of sunflower oil uses machines to distribute liquid ingredients into bottles that move along a filling line. The machine that distributes is working properly when 8 ounces are distributed. Suppose that the average amount distributed in a particular sample of 30 bottles is 7.91 ounces. Assume that the variance of the process is known to be 0.03 ounces squared. Is there evidence that the machine should be stopped (when not 8 ounces are distributed), and production wait for repairs? The lost production from a shutdown is potentially so great that management feels that the level of confidence in the analysis should be 99%.

The built-in data set, rock, is a data frame recording the measurements of rock sample from a petroleum reservoir. We are interested in the area column of rock. Using R we can convert this column into the vector x by the assignment x<-rock$shape. Assume that the n area measurements x=(x1, x2,...,xn) are a random sample from a population with true unknown mean ? and true unknown variance ?2. Remember, let x be defined by x<-rock$shape.
Suppose that contamination particle size (in microm- eters) can be modeled as f(x)=2x³ for 1 < x. Determine the mean of X. What can you conclude about the variance of X?
Many properties of the fabric used in different textiles, such as sheets and clothing, are influenced by whether the diameter of yarn used in the creation of the textile is consistent. Therefore, various methods can be used to measure the diameter of yarn at specified intervals, such as every 2mm, to determine the consistency of the diameter. These measurements are normally distributed. Suppose that one textile manufacturer will not use any yarn in which the variance of the diameters is greater than 0.0009mm. In order to ensure that the yarn is usable, the diameter of a length of yarn is measured at 400 random intervals. The variance of those measurements is found to be 0.000992mm. Does this evidence provide support that the batch of yarn is unusable by the manufacturer? Use a 0.005 level of significance. Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.
Show that the mean of a random sample of size n from an exponential population is a minimum variance unbiased estimator of the parameter 0.
There are two samples. Sample 1 has n=10 and a sample variance of 4. Sample 2 has n=8 and a sample variance of 9. Calculate the standard error of the difference between the two sample means (to 2 decimal points). Assume that the variances in the two populations that produced the samples are equal.
A company is doing a hypothesis test on the variation in quality from two suppliers. Both distributions are normal, and the populations are independent. Use a = 0.05. A sample of 31 products were selected from Supplier 1 and a standard deviation of quality was found to be 3.77. A sample of 16 products were selected from Supplier 2 and a standard deviation of quality was found to be 3.5659. Test to see if the variance in quality for Supplier 1 is larger than Supplier 2. What are the correct hypotheses? Note this may view better in full screen mode. Select the correct symbols in the order they appear in the problem. Ho: 0.² H₁: 0.² Based on the hypotheses, compute the following: Round answers to at least 4 decimal places. The test statistic is = The p-value is = The decision is to [Fail to reject the null hypothesis The correct summary would be: There is not enough evidence to support the claim in quality for Supplier 1 is larger than Supplier 2. o that the variance

suppose that we have disjoint normal populations A and B and we want to find the standard error estimate for estimating the difference in their means. We have an IRS from A of size 8 with variance 25 and an IRS from B of size 9 with variance 16. What is the resulting standard error estimate if we assume both populations have the same population variance?
Records from previous years for a casualty insurance company show that its clients average a combined total of 1.9 auto accidents per day, with a variance of 0.31. The actuaries of the company claim that the current variance, oʻ, of the number of accidents per day is not equal to 0.31. A random sample of 17 recent days had a mean of 2 accidents per day with a variance of 0.62. If we assume that the number of accidents per day is approximately normally distributed, is there sufficient evidence to conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that the actuaries are correct?

Assume that a high school principal believes that high number of absences hinders the students' ability to perform on standardized tests. He randomly selects a sample of 9 students who had 5 or more absences in the school year. The average ACT Composite score for this sample is X = 19 with s = 4.9. ACT Composite scores are normally distributed with u = 21.0. Do the data support the claim that the high number of absences hinders the students' ability to perform on standardized tests, using a = .05? Please show the four-step hypothesis test. %3D
A certain IQ test is known to have a population mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15 in the general population. You want to test whether psychology majors have a different average IQ than the population as a whole. Assume the variance of IQ is the same for Psych majors as it is in the general population. Suppose that Psychology majors actually have an average IQ of 108. If you do a 2-tailed test at α= .05 with a sample of 56 Psychology majors, you will be able to reject the null hypothesis if the mean IQ of your sample is below [L] or above [H]. Find L and H values. Options listed below. [L] answer choices: 96.08, 98.00, 103.92, 104.08, 110.00, 111.92. [H] Answer choices: 96.08, 98.00, 103.92, 104.08, 110.00, 111.92.
