A manufacturing company employs two inspecting devices to sample a fraction of their output for quality control purposes. The first inspection monitor is able to accurately detect 99.5% of the defective items it receives, whereas the second is able to do so in 99.7% of the cases. Assume that four defective items are produced and sent out for inspection. Let X and Y denote the number of items that will be identified as defective by inspecting devices 1 and 2, respectively. Assume the devices are independent. Determine (a) the range of the joint probability distribution of X and Y .

Your company manufactures plastic wrap for food storage. The tear resistance of the wrap, denoted by X, must be controlled so that the wrap can be torn off the roll without too much effort but it does not tear too easily when in use. In a series of tests (see data table below), 15 rolls of wrap are made under carefully controlled conditions and the tear resistance of each roll is measured. The results are used as the basis of a quality assurance specification. If X for a subsequently produced roll falls more than two standard deviations away from the test period average, the process is declared out of specification and production is suspended for routine maintenance.

Suppose a researcher collects data on the bacterial contamination, measured in colony-forming unit per milliliter, for both upstream and downstream sections of 35 rivers. The data is plotted with upstream bacterial contamination on the horizontal axis and downstream bacterial contamination on the vertical axis. The Scioto River is an outlier in the ?y‑direction. What must be true about this river? The upstream bacterial contamination for this river is much higher or lower than the rest of the rivers in the data set. The downstream bacterial contamination for this river is much higher or lower than other rivers in the data set that have similar upstream bacterial contamination. This river is an influential observation. The downstream bacterial contamination for this river is much higher or much lower than the rest of the rivers in the data set. The absolute value of the residual of this river is large.
To compare the effectiveness of competing fertilizers on increasing radish size, researchers randomly divided 20 radish seeds of the same type into two groups of 10 and planted them. To one of the groups, they applied Fertilizer A, and to the other, they applied Fertilizer B. Then the researchers measured the radii of the radishes grown from the seeds in the two groups. The mean radius of the Fertilizer A group was 0.52 inches smaller than the mean radius of the Fertilizer B group. The researchers wanted to determine if this difference was due to the type of fertilizer or simply due to more seeds that produced smaller radishes being randomly assigned to the Fertilizer A group. To test if a difference of the means (A - B) of -0.52 inches or less could be due to chance, the researchers used a computer simulation to shuffle and randomly reassign the radishes to the two fertilizer groups. The difference between the two group means was then calculated and plotted on a dot plot. They…
A random sample of n1 = 20 winter days in Denver gave a sample mean pollution index x1 = 43. Previous studies show that ?1 = 11. For Englewood (a suburb of Denver), a random sample of n2 = 18 winter days gave a sample mean pollution index of x2 = 36. Previous studies show that ?2 = 15. Assume the pollution index is normally distributed in both Englewood and Denver. Do these data indicate that the mean population pollution index of Englewood is different (either way) from that of Denver in the winter? Use a 1% level of significance. a) What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Test the difference ?1 − ?2. Round your answer to two decimal places.)b) Find (or estimate) the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

The following table lists highway miles (in MPG) and weight (in pounds) for a variety of cars, foreign and domestic (same data as before). CAR HWY WEIGHT Chev.

Corvette 28 3220 BMW 3-Series 27 3225 Ford Crown Victoria 24 3985 Hyundai Accent If we let x be the weight and y be the Highway MPG, and we used Excel to compute the equation of the Least- 37 2290 Square regression line (which comes out to be y = -0.00672'x + 51.1156) as well as the correlation coefficient (which comes out to be -0.89). Then you used that equation to predict that the Highway Miles for a car that weighs just 1000 pounds would be 44.4 mpg. I think this prediction is accurate because the person used Excel for the computation. O I think this prediction is not accurate since a car that weighs 1000 pounds is not part of the original data list. O Ithink this prediction is not accurate because the person…

There is a 3 percent error rate at a specii c point in a production process. If an inspector isplaced at this point, all the errors can be detected and eliminated. However, the inspectoris paid $8 per hour and can inspect units in the process at the rate of 30 per hour.If no inspector is used and defects are allowed to pass this point, there is a cost of $10per unit to correct the defect later on.Should an inspector be hired?
The ratio of the lengths of the second and the fourth fingers, denoted 2D:4D, is an indicator of the level of prenatal testosterone. It is known that higher prenatal testosterone levels are associated with a lower 2D:4D value. Since testosterone levels are known to be related to behavioural traits, it has been conjectured that certain types of aggressive and dominant behaviours may be associated with lower 2D:4D values. van der Meij et al. (2012) conducted a study that investigated the possible relationship between 2D:4D and so-called "sociable" and "aggressive" dominance. For the study, 84 male students completed two questionnaires, measuring sociable and aggressive dominance respectively, on which high scores related to increased aggression. After some adjustments, a score between 1 and 6 was recorded for each subject on each questionnaire. The participants' hands were scanned and measurements taken, on which a 2D:4D measure could be recorded per subject by averaging the ratio for…
