b) Manufacturer B wants to compare the quality of current and improved designs by conducting another experiment by running a random sample of 12 tires for both designs until they wear out. The results from the experiment show that, the mean distance of the current design is 35,852 kilometres, with standard deviation of 4,122 kilometres. In contrast, the mean distance of the improved design is 35,954 kilometres, with standard deviation of 4,925 kilometres. At 5% significance level, is there any significance difference between the average wear of the current and improved designs? Assume the populations to be approximately normally distributed with equal variances.

A market research firm supplies manufacturers with estimates of the retail sales of their products from samples of retail stores. Marketing managers are prone to look at the estimate and ignore sampling error. An SRS of 15 stores this year shows mean sales of 50 units of a small appliance, with a standard deviation of 8.6 units. During the same point in time last year, an SRS of 21 stores had mean sales of 39.938 units, with standard deviation 16.2 units. An increase from 39.938 to 50 is a rise of about 20%. 1. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference uj - µ2, where uj is the mean of this year's sales and u, is the mean of last year's sales. (а) < (41 – 42) < (b) The margin of error is 2. At a 0.05 significance level, is there sufficient evidence to show that sales this year are different from last year? O A. Yes O B. No
QUESTION 3 A wholesaler must decide how many computers to purchase before they know how many they will be able to sell to local retailers. The wholesaler purchases the computers for S300 each and sells them to retailers for $350 each. If the wholesaler is not able to sell them to a retailer then the wholesaler can return them to the manufacturer (for a refund of the S300 cost), but the wholesaler must pay $40 per computer that it returns to the manufacturer (in shipping, handling, and insurance costs). The following probability distribution describes the number of computers the wholesaler may possibly sell to local retailers: there is a 21% chance that they will sell 900 computers, a 56% chance that they will sell 1200 computers; otherwise, they will sell 1500 computers. What is the expected number of computers the wholesaler will sell? (please round your answer to 1 decimal place)
Bone mineral density (BMD) is a measure of bone strength. Studies show that BMD declines after age 45. The impact of exercise may increase BMD. A random sample of 59 women between the ages of 41 and 45 with no major health problems were studied. The women were classified into one of two groups based upon their level of exercise activity: walking women and sedentary women. The 39 women who walked regularly had a mean BMD of 5.96 with a standard deviation of 1.22. The 20 women who are sedentary had a mean BMD of 4.41 with a standard deviation of 1.02. Which of the following inference procedures could be used to estimate the difference in the mean BMD for these two types of women
Researchers interested in determining the relative effectiveness of two different drug treatments on people with a chronic illness established two independent test groups. The first group consisted of 12 people with the illness, and the second group consisted of 14 people with the illness. The first group received treatment 1 and had a mean time until remission of 166 days with a standard deviation of 8 days. The second group received treatment 2 and had a mean time until remission of 163 days with a standard deviation of 9 days. Assume that the populations of times until remission for each of the two treatments are normally distributed with equal variance. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the difference −μ1μ2 between the mean number of days before remission after treatment 1 ( μ1 ) and the mean number of days before remission after treatment 2 ( μ2 ). Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 90% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate…
In tests of a computer component, it is found that the mean time between failures is 909 hours. A modification is made which is supposed to increase reliability by increasing the time between failures. Tests on a sample of 25 modified components produce a mean time between failures of 955 hours. Using a 1% level of significance, perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the mean time between failures for the modified components is greater than 909 hours. Assume that the population standard deviation is 53 hours.
Suppose two proposed computer mouse designs were compared by recording wrist extension in degrees for 23 people who each used both mouse types. The difference in wrist extension was calculated by subtracting extension for mouse type B from the wrist extension for mouse type A for each student. The mean difference was reported to be 8.71 degrees. Assume that it is reasonable to regard this sample of 23 people as representative of the population of computer users. (a) Suppose that the standard deviation of the differences was 10 degrees. Is there convincing evidence that the mean wrist extension for mouse type A is greater than for mouse type B? Use a 0.05 significance level. (Use μ = μA - MB.) Find the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) t = Find the df. df = USE SALT Use technology to find the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) P-value = State your conclusion. O Fail to reject Ho. We have convincing evidence that the mean wrist extension for…
In an automobile repair and service industry, the average number of defective items in all the lots of automobile parts produced by a machine last week was 8. The supervisor believes that the mean number of defective parts produced by the same machine will differ in the present week. To test whether the average differs from 8, he samples 30 lots to obtain the mean number of defective parts to be 9 with a standard deviation of 3.Using the critical value approach, identify the decision at the 5% level of significance. Group of answer choices The decision is not to reject H0 because the test statistic does not fall in the rejection region (-∞,-1.960] U [1.960, ∞). The decision is to reject H0 because the test statistic falls in the rejection region (-∞,-1.645].

A researcher decides to measure anxiety in group of bullies and a group of bystanders using a 23-item, 3 point anxiety scale. Assume scores on the anxiety scales are normally distributed and the variance among the group of bullies and bystanders are the same. A group of 30 bullies scores an average of 21.5 with a sample standard deviation of 10 on the anxiety scale. A group of 27 bystanders scored an average of 25.8 with a sample standard deviation of 8 on the anxiety scale. You do not have any presupposed assumptions whether bullies or bystanders will be more anxious so you formulate the null and alternative hypothesis based on that.
A pharmaceutical company claims that its new drug is effective in reducing blood pressure with a mean reduction of at least 5 mmHg. To test this claim, a random sample of 30 patients is selected and given the medication. The results show an average reduction in blood pressure of 4.7 mmHg with a standard deviation of 1.2 mmHg. Test the company's claim at a 5% significance level.
