Boxes of a certain type of cereal processed by a factory must have at least an average content of 160 grams.Because of a complaint to the consumer ombudsman's office that such boxes of cereal have less content, an inspector took a random sample of 10 boxes finding the following cereal weights in grams: 157 157 163 158 161 159 162 159 158 156 Is it reasonable for the inspector to fine the manufacturer?

A machine being used for packaging seedless golden raisins has been set so that on average, 15 ounces of raisins will be packaged per box. The quality control engineer wishes to test the machine setting and selects a sample of 30 consecutive raisin packages filled during the production process. Their weights are recorded as follows: 15.2 15.3 15.1 15.7 15.3 15.0 15.1 14.3 14.6 14.5 15.0 15.2 15.4 15.6 15.7 15.4 15.3 14.9 14.8 14.6 14.3 14.4 15.5 15.4 15.2 15.5 15.6 15.1 15.3 15.1 At the 5% level of significance, is there evidence that the mean weight per box is different from 15 ounces? Use the 5-step classical rejection region critical value decision rule for this problem. You may use the TI-84 t-test option to calculate the test statistics (tStat). For the rejection region approach recall that we look up the tcritical on the t table, tα,n-1 for a 1 tail and tα/2,n-1 for a 2 tail test. State the meaning of µ, then list the 5 steps. See lecture #14. If you reject Ho, construct a (1-α)%…
Please help me in answering the following practice question:Given a random sample of the amount of protein (in gram) in one bag of snack food: 0.95, 0.85, 0.92, 0.95, 0.93, 0.86, 1, 0.92, 0.85, 0.81, 0.78, 0.93, 0.93, 1.05, 0.93, 1.06, 1.06, 0.96, 0.81, 0.96 Here, it is assumed that the amount of protein in the snack is normal. How would I calculate a 98% two-sided confidence interval for the average amount of protein in one bag?Thank you for your help in advance!
To determine whether there is a systematic difference between the weights obtained with two different scales, 10 rock specimens were weighed on each scale. Are the two samples dependent or independent? Select one: O a. dependent O b. independent
Twelve samples, each containing five parts, were taken from a process that produces steel rods at Emmanual Kodzi's factory. The length of each rod in the samples was determined. The results were tabulated and sample means and ranges were computed. The results were: Sample 1 2 3 4 5 6 Sample Mean (in.) 8.900 8.902 8.889 8.908 8.899 8.897 Range (in.) Sample Sample Mean (in.)

The highway patrol is interested in determining the average speed of automobiles traveling on I-75 between Chattanooga and Atlanta. To accomplish this task, the speed of every twelfth automobile passing a particular point on I- 75 is recorded. а. What is the population for this study? b. What makes up the sample? Is speed a categorical or a quantitative variable? с. d. What type of measurement scale is used?
Read the following then choose the appropriate test and name the population(s). A researcher asks a random sample of 200 men whether they had made an online purchase in the last three months. He wants to determine whether the proportion of men who make online purchases is less than 0.18. A. Two-proportion z-test; the population is the 200 men surveyed. B. One-proportion z-test; the population is all adults who make online purchases. C. One-proportion z-test; the population is all men. D. Two-proportion z-test; one population is all men who make online purchases and the other population is all men who do not make online purchases.
A Farm grows normally distributed potatoes and is testing a new crop. After 4 months, 20 plants produce potatoes with the following weights (in kg):7, 1.4, 1.4, 1.3, 0.3, 1.4, 0.6, 1.3, 1.3, 1.1, 0.9, 1.5, 1.1, 1.5, 0.6, 1.4, 1.1, 0.5, 0.6, 0.8 b) What percent of potatoes grown from this crop will be over 2 kg? Mean: 1.1 Standard deviation: 0.3883
Betty, an employee of Shining Sun Daycare Centerread an article in Healthy Child Magazine sayingthat the average 3-year-old child is 37 in. tall.Betty works with 10 3-year-olds at Shining Sun,so later that week, she measured the height ofeach child who had just turned or was about toturn 3 years old. Here are the descriptive statisticsfor the sample: M = 35, s = 3.1. State the nondirectional hypothesis.2. Determine the critical t for a = .05.3. Calculate t. Show your calculations.4. Is the height of 3-year-olds in Shining SunDaycare Center significantly different fromthe height given in the magazine?
In a study of the effect of subbase thickness on the amount of surface deflection caused by aircraft landing on an airport runway, simulated Boeing 747 landing gear was trafficked across four sections of runway. Then simulated Boeing 777 landing gear was traf- ficked across four sections of runway. The surface deflection for each trial is listed below. 5. Boeing 747 Boeing 777 4.01 3.87 3.72 3.76 4.57 4.48 4.36 4.43 Compute an appropriate 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean surface deflec- tion for a Boeing 777 vs a Boeing 747. State any additional assumptions that you need to make. You may use Minitab or other software for this problem, but you must show enough steps that it is clear that you understand the procedure(s) you are using.
