A poultry farmer supplies eggs to major supermarkets in Accra for sale to the general public. He claims that each crate of 30 eggs contains both brown and white eggs in a 2:1 ratio. Suppose that a randomly-selected crate of eggs has 16 brown eggs and 14 white eggs; is this observation a significant departure from the expected ratio? Take a to be 0.05.

The control department of a light bulb manufacturer randomly picks 4400 light bulbs from the production lot every week. The records show that, when there is no malfunction, the defect rate in the manufacturing process (due to imperfections in the material used) is 1%. When 1.5% or more of the light bulbs in the sample of 4400 are defective, the control unit calls repair technicians for service. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Find the mean of p, where p is the proportion of defective light bulbs in a sample of 4400 when there is no malfunction. (b) Find the standard deviation of p. (c) Compute an approximation for Pp 0.015), which is the probability that the service technicians will be called even though the system is functioning properly. Round your answer to four decimal places.
Researchers investigated how the size of a bowl affects how much ice cream people tend to scoop when serving themselves. At an "ice cream social," people were randomly given either a 17-oz or a 34-oz bowl (both large enough that they would not be filled to capacity.) They were then invited to scoop as much ice cream as they liked. Did the bowl size change the selected portion size? The summaries are shown. Test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusions. For assumptions and conditions that you cannot test, you may assume that they are sufficiently satisfied to proceed.

A county environmental agency suspects that the fish in a particular polluted lake have elevated mercury levels. To confirm that suspicion, five striped basses in that lake were caught and their tissues were tested for mercury. For the purpose of comparison, four striped basses in an unpolluted lake were also caught and tested. The fish tissue mercury levels in mg/kg are given below. Sample I(From Polluted Lake) 0.523 0.723 0.523 0.623 0.523 Sample II(From Unpolluted Lake) 0.323 0.223 0.523 0.323 0.000 (a) Construct the 95% confidence interval for the difference in the population means based on these data. (b) Test, at the 5% level of significance, whether the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that fish in the polluted lake have elevated levels of mercury in their tissue.
Problem: An administer claims that the proportion of students who pass a particular test given to all college freshmen is 77.32%. To test the claim an SRS of size 199 test scores was collected. The sample had 74 students pass the test. Find the test statistic.
A researcher believes that 52.5% of people who grew up as the only child have an IQ score over 100. However, unknown to the researcher, this figure is actually 50%, which is the same as in the general population.To attempt to find evidence for the claim, the researcher is going to take a random sample of 400 people who grew up as the only child. Let p be the proportion of people in the sample with an IQ score above 100. Answer the following: a) Find the mean of p: b)Find the standard deviation of p: c) Compute an approximation for P(p ≥ 0.525), which is the probability that there will be 52.5% or more people with IQ scores over 100 in the sample. Round your answer to four decimal places.
The British government has stepped up its information campaign regarding foot-and-mouth disease by mailing brochures to farmers around the country. It is estimated that 0.9234 of Scottish farmers who receive the brochure possess enough information to deal with an outbreak of the disease, but only 0.8323 of those without the brochure can deal with an outbreak. After the first three months of mailing, a ratio of the farmers in Scotland received the informative brochure. Find the ratio of the farmers in Scotland who received the informative brochure if the probability that a randomly selected farmer will not have enough information to deal effectively with an outbreak of the disease is 0.092998.

A poll was conducted on a representative sample of 600 adults living in the United States in order to investigate the decline in cable and satellite TV subscriptions. For this sample, 150 adults revealed that they are "cord cutters," (that is, they canceled their cable/satellite TV service and now only use a video streaming service). You want to estimate p, the true proportion of all US adults who are "cord cutters." Complete parts a through e. d. Give a practical interpretation of the confidence interval from part c. (Type integers or decimals rounded to three decimal places as needed. Use ascending order.) A. The probability that the true proportion of all US adults who are "cord cutters" is enter your response here lies between enter your response here and enter your response here. B. We can be enter your response here% confident that the true proportion of all US adults who are "cord cutters" lies between enter your response here and enter your…
The Ice Chalet offers dozens of different beginning ice-skating classes. All of the class names are put into a bucket. The 5 P.M., Monday night, ages 8 to 12, beginning ice-skating class was picked. In that class were 64 girls and 16 boys. Suppose that we are interested in the true proportion of girls, ages 8 to 12, in all beginning ice-skating classes at the Ice Chalet. Assume that the children in the selected class are a random sample of the population. Construct a 92% Confidence Interval for the true proportion of girls in the ages 8 to 12 beginning ice-skating classes at the Ice Chalet. What is the error bound?
For this problem, carry at least four digits after the decimal in your calculations. Answers may vary slightly due to rounding.The National Council of Small Businesses is interested in the proportion of small businesses that declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year. Since there are so many small businesses, the National Council intends to estimate the proportion from a random sample. Let p be the proportion of small businesses that declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year.
57% of all the town's residents own a dog and 66% own a cat. Of the dog owners 49% also own a cat. If a town resident is chosen at random find: (round to 4 decimal places where possible) a. P(Own a Dog) = b. P(Own a Cat) = c. P(Own a Cat and a Dog) = d. P(Own a Dog GIVEN Own a Cat) =
The university administrator wants a quick estimate of the average course size, i.e. how many students are enrolled in one course on average. However, since he does not want the faculty to find out about his interest, he has decided to use the students as his help. He has decided to randomly select 100 students to find out and report to him the number or numbers of students in his course or courses. Thus, his estimate of the average course size is the average of the numbers reported by the students.(a) Does such a procedure serve his purpose?(b) If you answered yes to the previous question, explain why. If you answered no to the previous question, present a more efficient way.
