A supermarket buys light globes (light bulbs) from three different manufacturers - Brightlight (35%), Glowglobe (20%) and Shinewell (45%). In the past, the supermarket has found that 1% of Brightlight's globes are faulty, and that 1.5% of each of Glowglobe's and Shinewell's globe are faulty. A customer buys a globe without looking at the manufacturer's name - in other words, it's random choice. When she gets home, she finds the globe is faulty. What is the probability she choose a Shinewell's globe?

The owner of a small clothing store is concerned that only 28% of people who enter her store actually buy something. A marketing salesman suggests that she invest in a new line of celebrity mannequins (think Seth Rogan modeling the latest jeans...). He loans her several different "people" to scatter around the store for a two-week trial period. The owner carefully counts how many shoppers enter the store and how many buy something so that at the end of the trial she can decide if she'll purchase the mannequins. She'll buy the mannequins if there is evidence that the percentage of people that buy something increases. a) Write the owner's null and alternative hypotheses. b) In this context describe a Type I error and the impact such an error would have on the store. c) In this context describe a Type II error and the impact such an error would have on the store. d) Based on data that she collected during the trial period the store's owner found that a 98% confidence interval for the…
Among students at a nearby college, the proportion who say they're interested in their congressional district's election results has traditionally been 65%. After a series of gripping debates on campus, a political scientist claims that the proportion, p, of students at the college who say they're interested In their district's election results is now greater than 65%. A poll is commissioned, and 181 out of a random sample of 250 students at the college say they're interested in their district's election results. Is there enough evidence to support the political scientist's cdaim at the 0.10 level of significance? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis H. and the alternative hypothesis H,. H, :0 H :0 (b) Determine the type of test statistic to use. (Choose one) ▼ (c) Find the…
In a survey of 1000 adult Americans, 45.7% indicated that they were somewhat interested or very interested in having web access in their cars. Suppose that the marketing manager of a car manufacturer claims that the 45.7% is based only on a sample and that 45.7% is close to half, so there is no reason to believe that the proportion of all adult Americans who want car web access is less than 0.50. Is the marketing manager correct in his claim? Provide statistical evidence to support your answer. For purposes of this exercise, assume that the sample can be considered as representative of adult Americans. Test the relevant hypotheses using ? = 0.05. Find the test statistic and P-value. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.) z= P-value= chose the conclusion in the context of the problem. a) Reject H0. We do not have convincing evidence that the proportion of all adult Americans who want car web access is less than 0.5. The marketing…
A large retail lawn care dealer currently provides a 2-year warranty on all lawn mowers sold at its stores. A new employee suggested that the dealer could save money by just not offering the warranty. To evaluate this suggestion, the dealer randomly decides whether or not to offer the warranty to the next 50 customers who enter the store and express an interest in purchasing a lawnmower. Out of the 25 customers offered the warranty, 10 purchased a mower as compared to 4 of 25 not offered the warranty. a. Place a 95% confidence interval on 7₁ - 72, the difference in the proportions of customers purchasing lawnmowers with and without the warranty. b. Test the research hypothesis that offering the warranty will increase the propor- tion of customers who will purchase a mower. Use a = .05. c. Are the conditions for using a large-sample test to answer the question in part (b) satisfied? If not, apply an exact procedure,
Suppose you try to conduct a presidential approval poll of 10,000 likely U.S. voters. You know that 44% of the voters are registered with the Independent party, 28% are registered with the Reform party and 23% are registered with the Green party. If you are going to construct a representative sample of this population, approximately how many of the likely voters in the sample should be Green party?

At LLD Records, some of the market research of college students is done during promotions on college campuses, while other market research of college students is done through anonymous mail, phone, internet, and record store questionnaires. In all cases, the company solicits an "intent-to-purchase" score from the student, with 0 being the lowest score ("no intent to purchase") and 100 being the highest score ("full intent to purchase"). The manager finds the following information for 150 intent-to-purchase scores for a soon-to-be-released CD: Sample Sample Sample size Group mean variance On campus 30 64.5 68.9 By mail 30 63.0 77.1 By phone 30 62.8 125.1 By internet 30 62.3 106.0 In a store 30 68.2 85.9 Send data to calculator Send data to Excel Suppose that the five populations of scores from which these samples were drawn are approximately normally distributed and have the same mean and the same variance.

250 adults are practicing every day before taking part in a high-stakes children's game. The game requires them carefully to remove a shape- either a star or an umbrella-from a sugar wafer. 30% of those who choose stars on a given day will switch to umbrellas the next day, and 20% of those who choose umbrellas on a given day will switch to stars the next day. (a) If 150 contestants practice with stars today, how many will practice with umbrellas tomorrow? (b) If the actual game is held a long time from now, what proportion of contestants do we expect will be practicing with stars each day close to then?
In a US presidential election, the incumbent president wins with 51.5% of the vote to 48.2% for the primary challenger (and .3% to others).

For the polling study, what was the population of interest? b. What was the sample? c. Why did the sample results differ from the population? d. What are two constants that might have limited the generalizability of the polling results?

The University is considering changing the email system that they currently use. Since there are substantial learning costs associated with any new software, the University only wants to change to the new system if it is very confident that there is at least a 20% difference in the proportion of faculty and staff who say they like the new system. In a sample of 139 users of the current system, the University finds that 66 say they like the current system. In another sample of 92 experimental users of the “new” system, the University finds that 73 of them like the new system. When testing the hypothesis (using a 5% level of significance) that there is at least a 20% difference in the proportion of users who like the two systems, what is the test statistic? (please round your answer to 2 decimal places)
