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. (b) fxy(x, y). (c) fx(x). (d) E(X). e) fyx=3(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.

The management of the local zoo wants to know if all of their animal exhibits are equally popular. If there is significant evidence that some of the exhibits are not being visited frequently enough, then changes may need to take place within the zoo. A tally of visitors is taken for each of the following animals throughout the course of a week, and the results are contained in the following table. At a = 0.025, determine whether there is sufficient evidence to conclude that some exhibits are less popular than others.

A study was conducted to examine the difference between the average cholesterol levels in the blood of men and females. It can be assumed that cholesterol levels follow a normal distribution in both populations and that the distribution in the populations is similar (e. Assume that cholesterol levels follow a normal distribution in both populations with similar variances). An equal number of measurements were made on men and women. The results were entered into R and the R code and output can be seen below: t.test(kol$mael-kol$kyn,var.equal = T) %3D Two Sample t-test data: kol$mael by kol$kyn t = 5.7731, df = 18, p-value alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 0 95 percent confidence interval: 15.28775 32.78050 = 0.000018 sample estimates: mean in group Men mean in group women 219.2115 195.1774 1.

An experiment was conducted to test the effects of five different diets (A-E) in turkeys. Six turkeys were randomly assigned to each of the five different diet groups (Diet) and were fed for a fixed period of time. The weight gained in pounds was recorded for each turkey and the data was entered into R for analysis. R produced the following output. Between Within Total a. له له له م په b. C. d. e.

A state fisheries commission wants to estimate the number of bass caught in a given lake during a season in order to restock the lake with the appropriate number of young fish. The commission could get a fairly accurate assessment of the seasonal catch by extensive “netting sweeps" of the lake before and after a season, but this technique is much too expensive to be done routinely. Therefore, the commission samples a number of lakes and record the seasonal catch (thousands of bass per square mile of lake area) and size of lake (square miles). A simple linear regression was performed and the following R output obtained. Estimate Std.

A pharmaceutical company has developed a drug that is expected to reduce hunger. To test the drug, three samples of rats are selected with n=9 in each sample.The first sample receives the drug every day. The second sample is given the drug once a week, and the third sample receives no drug at all (the control group). These assignments of drugs are called treatments.The (dependent) variable being compared is the amount of food eaten by each rat over a 1-month period. These data are analyzed by an ANOVA, and the results are reported in the following summary table. How many groups (or population means or treatments) are being compared in this problem? _________ (Enter a whole number) What is the total number of data used in this problem? _________(Enter a whole number) Fill in all missing values in the table.

Answer A, B1, and B2: A. The National Institute of Mental Health published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 9.5 percent of American adults suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 100 people in a certain town, seven of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that town suffering from depression or a depressive illness is lower than the percent in the general adult American population. B. Researchers interested in lead exposure due to car exhaust sampled the blood of 52 police officers subjected to constant inhalation of automobile exhaust fumes while working traffic enforcement in a primarily urban environment. The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 124.32 µg/l and a SD of 37.74 µg/l; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level…
A laundry detergent company wants to determine if a new formula of detergent, A, cleans better than the original formula, B. Researchers randomly assign 500 pieces of similarly soiled clothes to the two detergents, putting 250 pieces in each group. After washing the clothes, independent reviewers determine the cleanliness of the clothes on a scale of 1–10, with 10 being the cleanest. The researchers calculate the proportion of clothes in each group that receive a rating of 7 or higher. For detergent A, 228 pieces of clothing received a 7 or higher. For detergent B, 210 pieces of clothing received a rating of 7 or higher. Based on the 90% confidence interval, (0.02, 0.12), is there convincing evidence that the new formula of laundry detergent is better? A) There is convincing evidence because the interval is entirely above 0. B) There is not convincing evidence because the sample sizes are too small. C) There is convincing evidence because the number of clothing items receiving a…
