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?

2-Proportion Test

In a 2-proportion test, two separate proportions are measured at the same time, and their similarity is evaluated. It is also known as a 2-proportion z-test, and a comparison of two different proportions is done in this method.

Many investors and financial analysts believe the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gives a good barometer of the overall stock market. On January 31, 2006, 9 of the 30 stocks making up the DJIA increased in price (The Wall Street Journal, February 1, 2006). On the basis of this fact, a financial analyst claims we can assume that 30% of the stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) went up the same day.A sample of 80 stocks traded on the NYSE that day showed that 11 went up.You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of stocks that went up is is significantly less than 0.3.

Kentville, a community of 10,000 people, resides next to a krypton mine, and there is a concern that the emission from the krypton smelter have resulted in adverse effects. Specifically, Kryptonosis seems to have killed 12 of Kentville’s inhabitants last year. A neighboring community, Lanesburg, has 25,000 inhabitants and is far enough from the smelter to not be affected by the emission. In Lanesburg, only three people last year died of Kryptonosis. Given that the number of deaths in Kentville and their causes last year were: Heart attack=7 Accidents=4 Kryptonosis=12 Other=6 What is the risk of dying of Kryptonosis in Kentville relative to non-contaminated locality?What is the risk of dying of Kryptonosis in Kentville relative to deaths due to other causes? How many times the chance of dying of Kryptonosis compared to dying of accidents ? How many times the chance of dying of Kryptonosis compared to Other causes?

Anita's, a fast-food chain specializing in hot dogs and garlic fries, keeps track of the proportion of its customers who decide to eat in the restaurant (as opposed to ordering the food "to go"), so it can make decisions regarding the possible construction of in-store play areas, the attendance of its mascot Sammy at the franchise locations, and so on. Anita's reports that 45% of its customers order their food to go. If this proportion is correct, what is the probability that, in a random sample of 5 customers at Anita's, exactly 3 order their food to go?

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").
