A random sample of 25 computer programmers was selected to compare two full-screen-edit intelligent terminals, one manufactured by vendor A and the other by vendor B. After working with the two types of terminals, each programmer was asked to choose the terminal that he or she preferred. Let y be the number of sampled programmers who prefer the terminal manufactured by vendor A. is y a binomial random variable? If the two terminals are, in fact, identical, then p=0.5. Find p(y³19) If observe y=19, what would you infer about the true value of p?

In a study to compare two different methods of teaching reading, a class of 20 children was divided into two groups at random. Each group was taught reading using one method. After six months the two groups were given the same test. One pupil in the first group was ill and missed the test. The scores are given below.Method 1 80 85 79 81 89 73 50 71 76Method 2 79 62 75 68 62 73 76 81 73 61(a) Calculate the extreme values and the quartiles for each group.

High levels of cholesterol in the blood are associated with higher risk of heart attacks. Will using a drug to lower blood cholesterol reduce heart attacks? The Helsinki Heart Study recruited middle-aged men with high cholesterol but no history of other serious medical problems to investigate this question. The volunteer subjects were assigned at random to one of two treatments: 2051 men took the drug gemfibrozil to reduce their cholesterol levels, and a control group of 2030 men took a placebo. During the next five years, 56 men in the gemfibrozil group and 84 men in the placebo group had heart attacks. Is the apparent benefit of gemfibrozil statistically significant? Using the p-value that you get from your previous z-test statistic, would you conclude that gemfibrozil is probably effective?

A car dealer is interested in comparing the average gas mileages of four different car models. The dealer believes that the average gas mileage of a particular car will vary depending on the person who is driving the car due to different driving styles. Because of this, he decides to use a randomized block design. He randomly selects five drivers and asks them to drive each of the cars. He then determines the average gas mileage for each car and each driver. Can the dealer conclude that there is a significant difference in average gas mileages of the four car models? The results of the study are as follows.

To test this, students took a random sample of each type of M&M and classified the candies in the sample by color.

A sporting goods manufacturing company wanted to compare the distance traveled by golf balls produced using four different designs. Nine balls were manufactured with each design and were brought to the local golf course for the club professional to test. The order in which the balls were hit with the same club was randomized to the pro did not know which type of ball was being hit. All 36 balls were hit (assuming the environmental conditions played no role). The resulting distances in yards were recorded and are shown in the following table: Design 1 Design 2 Design 3 Design 4 206.32 217.08 226.77 230.55 207.94 221.43 224.79 227.95 206.19 218.04 229.75 231.84 204.45 224.13 228.51 224.87 209.65 211.82 221.44 229.49 203.81 213.90 223.85 231.10 206.75 221.28 223.97 221.53 205.68 229.43 234.30 235.45 204.49 213.54 219.50 228.35 Write a set of hypotheses to test the mean…
An adventure company runs two obstacle courses, Fundash and Coolsprint, with similar designs. Since Fundash was built on rougher terrain, the designer of the courses suspects that the mean completion time of Fundash is greater than the mean completion time of Coolsprint. To test this, she selects 205 Fundash runners and 260 Coolsprint runners. (Consider these as independent random samples of the Fundash and Coolspring runners.) The 205 Fundash runners complete the course with a mean time of 77.6 minutes and a standard deviation of 8.2 minutes. The 260 individuals complete Coolsprint with a mean time of 76.0 minutes and a standard deviation of 7.7 minutes. Assume that the population standard deviations of the completion times can be estimated to be the sample standard deviations, since the samples that are used to compute them are quite large. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there enough evidence to support the claim that the mean completion time, u,, of Fundash is greater than…
Consider a manufacturing firm with a production process that relies on some technology that is inherently random. In particular, in each month, the productivity of the firm generates a baseline level of net revenue equal to 350 (in thousands of dollars). However, the actual net revenues generated vary due to the variation in output caused by the production technology. The variation can be represented as a risky lottery, P , with the resulting changes in net revenue (in thousands of dollars) as the listed outcomes, given by P= (.4, -50; .25, 10; .35, 50) (a) Show that the lottery is a zero-mean lottery -- that is, the expected variation in revenues is E(P)= 0.

A corporation randomly selects 150 salespeople and finds that 66% who have never taken a self-improvement course would like such a course. The firm did a similar study 10 years ago in which 60% of a random sample of 160 salespeople wanted a self-improvement course. The groups are assumed to be independent random samples. Let π1 and π2 represent the true proportion of workers who would like to attend a self-improvement course in the recent study and the past study, respectively. If the firm wanted to test whether a greater proportion of workers would currently like to attend a self-improvement course than in the past, which represents the relevant hypotheses? A. H0:π1−π2≠0 versus H1:π1−π2=0 B. H0:π1−π2≥0 versus H1:π1−π2<0 C. H0:π1−π2≤0 versus H1:π1−π2>0 D. H0:π1−π2=0 versus H1:π1−π2≠0
