A quality engineer is asked to determine whether less than 2% of all flasks received by its company are defective. The engineer goes out and takes a simple random sample of n = 300 flasks, and finds 3 defective. Perform a hypothesis test, at a = 0.05, to determine whether less than 2% of all flasks received by the company are defective. What is your test statistic?

A business has just completed a marketing campaign. They want to determine if their original market share of 50% has increased as a result of the campaign. A survey conducted found 81 out of 150 people had bought the products. Determine whether the company has increased its market share i. Write down the null and alternative hypotheses for this test.ii. The sample proportion value is missing from the output above. What is this value?iii. Explain why we can use the following test static to conduct this test.? =?̂− ?√??⁄?iv. Use either the ?-value or the ? statistic in the output provided to conduct the test. Has the market share of the company increased?v. The marketing team plan to continue to monitor their market share. In a future study, they want to be able to estimate their market share to within +/−5% and with 90% confidence. What size sample is required? Use the sample proportion from part ii.
Suppose that you want to perform a hypothesis test based on independent random samples to compare the means of two populations. You know that the two distributions of the variable under consideration have the same shape and may be normal. You take the two samples and find that the data for one of the samples contain outliers. Which procedure would you use? Explain your answer.
A high school principal wanted to know if there was a difference in absences for 9th grade, 10th grade, 11th grade, or 12th grade among students with less than a 2.0 GPA. She took a random sample of n = 5 students from each grade and compared absences among the four grades using ANOVA. The data are below:
In a simple random sample size of 89, there were 40 individuals in the category of interest. It is desired to test —- H0:P=0.46 VS H1:P
An industrial psychologist feels that a big factor in job turnover among assembly-line workers is the individual employees' self-esteem. He thinks that workers who change jobs often (population A) have, on the average, lower self-esteem, as measured by standardized test, than workers who do not (population B). To determine whether he can support his belief with statistical analysis, he draws a simple random sample of employees from each population and gives a test measuring self-esteem. The results are as follows. At 0.05 level of significance and assuming equal variances. Mean Standard Deviation Sample size A 52.3 9.23 10 69.47 11.78 17 Provide the tabular and computed value of the test statistic. O a. 1.703; 3.05 O b. 2.06; 3.94 O . 1.708; 4.01 O d. 2.052; 3.46
To collect data about the amount of time students spend studying for exams, which of the following methods should a teacher use to lead to a sample that is the most representative of the students in the school? Survey all the students who are in their final year of high school. Survey all students who achieved over 85% on their report card last semester. Survey all the students who play football. Survey all the students in the classes that he or she teaches. Survey 20 randomly selected students from each grade.
In a survey of 500 drivers from the South, 408 wear a seat belt. In a survey of 370 drivers from the Northeast, 288 wear a seat belt. At a = 0.07, can you support the claim that the proportion of drivers who wear seat belts is greater in the South than in the Northeast? Assume the random samples are independent. Complete parts (a) through (e). (a) Identify the claim and state Ho and Ha The claim is "the proportion of drivers who wear seat belts in the South is greater than in the Northeast." Let p, represent the population proportion for the South, and p2 represent the population proportion for the Northeast. State Hg and H Choose the correct answer below. O B. Ho: P1 = P2 OC.

To test the claim, you take a simple random sample of 300 households and find that 37% own cats. Test at 5% significance.

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?
Consider an experiment for patients who underwent CPR for a heart attack and then was sent to the hospital. Patients were randomly divided into a treatment group where they received a blood thinner or the control group where they did not. We're interested in understanding what proportion of patients survived in the first 24 hours in the hospital. Here's the data: Control Treatment Survived 11 14 Died 39 26 With the help of Mathematics and R Studio: Conduct a (full) hypothesis test to determine if the treatment group survived at a higher rate than the control group.
