A production line is producing electrical components. Under normal conditions 2.4% of the components are defective. To monitor production, a sample of 18 components is taken each hour. If the number of defectives becomes too high, the production line is stopped and adjustments are made. (a) What distribution applies to the number of defectives in a sample? (b) Write down specifically the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis. (c) For 1% level of significance, what is the smallest number of defectives in the sample which should shut down the production line?

An electronic company's records show that the mean number of circuit.boards rejected per batch is 5.7 with a variance of 1.4. Due to a change in the molding process, factory management has hired you to perform a hypothesis test to check if the variance, o, has increased. To do so, you test a random sample of 10 batches produced using the new process; the number of circuit boards rejected per batch has a sample variance of 2.5. Under the assumption that the number of circuit boards rejected per batch using the new process follows a normal distribution, you will perform a chi-square test. Find x, the value of the test statistic for your chi-square test. Round your answer to three or more decimal places. * = 0

In a packing plant, a machine packs cartons with jars. It is supposed that a new machine will pack faster on the average than the machine currently used. New machine: X1 bar = 40.12, s1 = 0.656, nl = 12 Old machine: X2 bar = 43.54, s2 = 0.760, n2 = 12 These are independent samples. Find the pooled variance?

In the Izmir University of Economics, a professor claims that exam scores for non-accounting majors are more variable than for accounting majors. Random samples of 30 non-accounting majors and 30 accounting majors are taken from a final exam held on 2019. Test at the 5% level the null hypothesis that the two population variances are equal against the alternative that the true variance is higher for the non-accounting majors. Assume the populations are normally distributed. s = 1584.272 ny = 30 s = 400.495 Non-Accounting n = 30 Accounting To test the professor's claim, identify the null and alternative hypotheses. The null hypothesis is represented by H, and the alternative hypothesis is represented by H,. Choose the correct answer below. O A. Ho: o 2 O B. Ho: o = OD. Ho: o =0 H,: o

At a=.009, can you reject the claim that there is no difference in the proportion of college enrollees between the two groups? Assume the random samples are independent. Complete parts (a) through (e).
Two different types of catalysts are used in a chemical process. We want to conduct a hypothesis test to see if there is a difference in the yields at 5% significance level. Assume both populations are normaly distributed. To this end, we collect a simple random sample from each process. Assume equal variances. = = n-11, n=13,x,-90, x 91.4, 8, 4, 8=4.5
2a. (Data calories.txt) For this problem, focus on the random sample obtained using only treatment 1. What is the average number of calories consumed for children in this group? Use 2 decimals Hint: Don't forget to only use the subset of children that participated in meal prep aration. 2b. (Data calories.txt only using treatment 1 sample) Based on these data, obtain the standard error for the average of calories consumed by children participating in meal preparation. Enter the value using two decimals. Hint 2: The R command length() may be useful to find the appropriate sample size. 2c. (Data calories.txt only using treatment 1 sample) A researcher would like to show that children participating in meal preparation (treatment 1) consume more than 400 calories, on average. Use the results obtained in the previous two questions and obtained the test statistic. Enter it here using two decimals. 2d.

In an industrial experiment, a job was performed by 10 workers using Method I, and by 7 workers using Method II. The experiment yielded the following data. The unit of measurement is minute. A statistician wants to test for the equality of two variances and the difference in the mean times to complete the job using the two methods. (This is a case of two independent samples drawn from two normal populations). Method 1 Method 2 12221915101615222613 61071261012 n1=10 Mean=17 Variance=26 n2=7 Mean=9 Variance=7 (a) Test at the 5% significance level whether the two variances are equal. (Give null and the alternative hypotheses, test statistic, rejection rule, conclusion) (b) Estimate with 95% confidence the ratio of the two population variances. Briefly describe what the interval estimate tells you. (c) Briefly explain how to use the interval estimate in part (b) to test the hypotheses in (a).
