A supermarket buys oranges from a certain company, that claims that the fraction of un- acceptable fruit (e.g., rotten) in each shipment does not exceed 3%. The supermarket is willing to accept such (but not higher) percentage of bad fruit. The procedure agreed upon specifies that a random sample of 30 oranges will be selected from each shipment (the method of sampling is typically also a part of the protocol). The shipment will be accepted if there is no more than one unacceptable fruit in this sample, and rejected (or bought at a discounted price, etc.) otherwise. Compute and interpret the size of the test and the power function. high vour experimental

The average worker at a local brake manufacturer produces 10 brakes per day (other statistical information was not known). An industrial psychologist was hired to increase worker productivity and a new assembly method was designed and tested in a sample of workers. Identify the appropriate test. Select one: a. independent samples t test b. z test c. single sample t test d. paired samples t test
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) measures the Graduation Success Rate (GSR), which is the percentage of eligible athletes who graduate within six years of entering college. According to the NCAA, the GSR for all scholarship athletes in a particular division is 64%. The GSR for all students in this division is 61%. Suppose the NCAA report was based on a sample of 1,000 student-athletes, of which 640 graduated within six years. Is this sufficient information to conclude that the GSR for all scholarship athletes in this division differs from 61%? Carry out the test using a Type I error rate of 0.05. What are the hypotheses for this test? O A. Ho: p# 0.61 Ha: p=0.61 OC. Ho: p > 0.61 H₁: p≤0.61 E. Ho: p=0.61 Ha: p Calculate the value of the z-statistic for this test.

Ann and Sam are both testing the hypothesis that 40% of plain M&M are orange. Ann draws a sample of 150 plain M&M and finds that 45% of her sample is orange. Ann's test statistic is?
Among the four northwestern states, Washington has 51% of the total population, Oregon has 30%, Idaho has 11%, and Montana has 8%. A market researcher selects a sample of 1000 subjects, with 350 in Washington, 440 in Oregon, 140 in Idaho, and 70 in Montana. At the 0.02 significance level, test the claim that the sample of 1000 subjects has a distribution that agrees with the distribution of state populations.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration claimed that U.S. residential customers used an average of 10,476 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity this year. A local power company believes that residents in their area use more electricity on average than EIA's reported average. To test their claim, the company chooses a random sample of 153 of their customers and calculates that these customers used an average of 10,767 kWh of electricity last year. Assuming that the population standard deviation is 2478 kWh, is there sufficient evidence to support the power company's claim at the 0.05 level of significance? Step 3 of 3: Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision.
You have been asked to estimate the proportion of households in Chicago that have two or more vehicles. a) How many households would you need to sample to be within 2 percent of the proportion of all households in Chicago that have two or more vehicles at a 90% level of confidence. b) You conduct a small preliminary sample, and you obtain a sample proportion of 19.5% that have two or more cars. Using this new information, what sample size should you gather in order to be within 2 percent of the proportion of all households in Chicago that have two or more vehicles at a 90% level of confidence.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration claimed that U.S. residential customers used an average of 10,069 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity this year. A local power company believes that residents in their area use more electricity on average than EIA's reported average. To test their claim, the company chooses a random sample of 171 of their customers and calculates that these customers used an average of 10,461 kWh of electricity last year. Assuming that the population standard deviation is 2973 kWh, is there sufficient evidence to support the power company's claim at the 0.01 level of significance? Step 3 of 3: Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision.

At the scene of a crime, the police have found a blood stain, a footprint, and some threads from a fabric. All are presumed to have been left by the person who committed the crime. After analyzing the evidence it is found that: • The blood type is a type found in only 10% of the population. • The footprint is a size 13 men's shoe and only 9% of the population wears that shoe size. Only 30% of the population owns clothing made from a fabric that matches the thread samples found at the scene. The police have a suspect who matches all of the criteria. He has the same blood type, the same shoe size, and owns clothing matching the threads found at the scene of the crime. While this is only circumstantial evidence, what is the probability that a random person would match all of these characteristics if the three characteristics are assumed to be independent of each other? (Give your answer correct to four decimal places.)
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA, 2017) estimates that 10.9% of the population of the United States age 18–24 had an episode of depression in the previous 12 months. Suppose a researcher takes a random sample of 225 United States adults aged 18–24. Determine the value of the sample proportion, p, such that 5% of samples of 225 United States adults age 18–24 are greater than p. You may find software or a z-table useful. Give your answer precise to three decimal places. p = II
b) A certain pay television company wishes to estimate the proportion of its customers who would purchase a pay television program guide. To do this, the company manager decides to select a random sample of customers and note the number who would purchase a program guide. Suppose that experience in other areas suggests that about 13% of customers will purchase a program guide. How many customers should the company manager include in his sample if he wishes to estimate the true proportion who will purchase the program guide correct to within 5% (0.05) with a confidence level of 95%?
You have been asked to estimate the proportion of households in Chicago that have two or more vehicles. a) How many households would you need to sample to be within 1.5 percent of the proportion of all households in Chicago that have two or more vehicles at a 95% level of confidence. b) You conduct a small preliminary sample, and you obtain a sample proportion of 20% that have two or more cars. Using this new information, what sample size should you gather in order to be within 1.5 percent of the proportion of all households in Chicago that have two or more vehicles at a 95% level of confidence.
