A soft-drink dispensing machine is said to be out of control if the variance of the contents exceeds 1.15 deciliters. If a random sample of 25 drinks from this machine has a variance of 2.03 deciliters, does this indicate at the 0.05 level of significance that the machine is out of control? Assume that the contents are approximately normallyy distributed.

A behavioral researcher measures the stress response of mice exposed to scary animal pictures (cat, dog, lion, Cheshire cat) with a GABA sensor implanted in the brain. He uses randomly assigned 40 mice, 10 in each group. The researcher records the amount of stress after 30 seconds assuming that there is no difference in the response in whatever way the mouse is scared. The data is normally distributed. Means and variances are provided in the table below. Is there a difference in the response to scary animals. Group 1 - Cat n₁=10 m₁ = 10 s² 1= 1.8 Group 2 - Dog n2=10 m₂= 5.0 s²2= 3.4 Why is the scare effect so low in group 4? Group 3 - Lion n3=10 m3= 3.4 s²1= 2.5 Group 4 - Chesire Cat n4=10 m4= 2.4 s² 1= 1.6
Records from previous years for a casualty insurance company show that its clients average a combined total of 1.9 auto accidents per day, with a variance of 0.31. The actuaries of the company claim that the current variance, oʻ, of the number of accidents per day is not equal to 0.31. A random sample of 17 recent days had a mean of 2 accidents per day with a variance of 0.62. If we assume that the number of accidents per day is approximately normally distributed, is there sufficient evidence to conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that the actuaries are correct? Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified below.

Suppose that 90% of Narnians are children, that Narnian children have normallydistributed BMIs with a mean of 25 kg/m2and variance of 64 (kg/m2) 2, and that Narnianadults have normally distributed BMIs with a mean of 30 kg/m2and variance of 100(kg/m2)2. WHO currently categorizes BMIs greater than 30 as obese.a. What is the prevalence of obesity among Narnian children?b. What is the prevalence of obesity among Narnian adults?c. What is the overall prevalence of obesity among Narnians?d. Are age and obesity statistically independent in Narnia?e. What proportion of Narnians are obese children?f.

According to Zero Population Growth, the average urban U.S. resident consumes 3.3 pounds of food per day. Is this figure accurate for rural U.S. residents? Suppose 64 rural U.S. residents are identified by a random procedure and their average consumption per day is 3.60 pounds of food. Assume a population variance of 1.31 pounds of food per day. Use a 5% level of significance to determine whether the Zero Population Growth figure for urban U.S. residents also is true for rural U.S. residents on the basis of the sample data. Appendix A Statistical Tables (Round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.75.) The value of the test statistic is z = and we
A company is doing a hypothesis test on the variation of quality from two suppliers. They believe that one of the suppliers has a different variance than the other supplier and would like to perform a hypothesis test to support their claim. Both distributions are normal, and the populations are independent. use a = 0.01 Ho :012 = 0 2 ² HA:012 =0 2 2 Supplier 1: standard deviation = 2.82, Sample size = 35 Supplier 2: standard deviation = 3.18, Sample size = 18. The test statistic (rounded to 4 decimal places) is = The p-value (rounded to 4 decimal places) is = O Reject the null hypothesis - there is enough evidence is support a meaningful difference in the variance of the suppliers. O Fail to reject the null hypothesis - there is not enough evidence to support a meaningful difference in the variance of the suppliers.
