Two suppliers manufacture a plastic gear used in a laser printer. The impact strength of these gears measured in foot-pounds is an important characteristic. A random sample of 10 gears from supplier 1 results in ₁ = 290 and s₁ = 12, and another random sample of 16 gears from the second supplier results in ₂ = 321 and s₂ = 22. Is there evidence to support the claim that supplier 2 provides gears with higher mean impact strength?

In an early home game, an NBA team made 66 of their 100 free throw attempts. In one of theirlast home games, the team made 68 of 90 attempts. At α = .10, did the team significantlyimprove its free throw percentage (left-tailed test)?
If a researcher obtains a sample mean of M= 54, from a population with u = 46. With a given alpha, which combination of factors is most likely to result in rejecting the null hypothesis?
Building codes in southern Florida require hurricane straps on single-family dwellings in order to more securely anchor the roof to the buildings. The straps should have no more than a 10% chance of failure in 150mph wind, and no more than a 45% chance of failure in a 200mph wind. 164 straps are tested at 200mph, and 48 of them fail. (a) Perform a hypothesis test to evaluate the claim that the straps are performing to code to an α = 0.01(b) Provide the p − value for your test statistic determined in (a)(c) If you wished to construct a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion with half-width E = 0.01, approximately how many straps would you need to test?

Give the confidence interval for the regression coefficient Baby considering the following. 40 observations in the sample 90% confidence level • • 4 predictor variables Use the same information in Question 3 to state the hypothesis test, test statistic and decision rule. Write the following regression function in the appropriate matrices if the sample size is 3. Y₁ = Bo + B₁X₁₁ + B₂X₁2 + Ei. Why would we want to obtain a correlation matrix? Explain what 734 means. How would interpret a value of 0.75 for 134? The following data set is obtained. Sixty beetles were researched and the following variables were observed and measured. X₁ = legsize in milimeter X₂=bodylength in grams X3 = weight X₁ = age in months Study the correlation matrix and then formulate a question that can be answered by a regression model. That is, identify a response (dependent variable). X1 X2 X3 X4 X1 1 X2 0.2 1 X3 0.9 0.85 1 X4 0.1 0.13 0.89 1
The U.S. Energy Information Administration claimed that U.S. residential customers used an average of 10,95110,951 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 184184 of their customers and calculates that these customers used an average of 11,162kWh11,162⁢kWh of electricity last year. Assuming that the population standard deviation is 1263kWh1263⁢kWh, is there sufficient evidence to support the power company's claim at the 0.050.05 level of significance? Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.
According to a CCH Unscheduled Absence survey 9 of small According to a CCH Unscheduled Absence survey, 9% of small businesses use telecommuting of workers in an effort to reduce unscheduled absenteeism. This proportion compares to 6% for all businesses. Is there really a significant difference between small businesses and all businesses on this issue? Use these data and an alpha of .10 to test this question. Assume that there were 780 small businesses and 915 other businesses in this survey. According to a CCH Unscheduled Absence survey 9 of small
Prior to an intensive TV advertising campaign, the producers of Nike athletic shoes find that 29 of a random sample of 200 upper-income adults are aware of their new leisure shoe line. A second random sample of 300 such adults is taken after the campaign. Now 96 of the persons sampled can identify the new line. Is the increase in the proportion of upper income adults showing brand awareness significant? Test the claim using alpha = .05.

The records of a casualty insurance company show that, in the past, its clients have had a mean of 1.8 auto accidents per day with a variance of 0.0036 . The actuaries of the company claim that the variance of the number of accidents per day is no longer equal to 0.0036 . Suppose that we want to carry out a hypothesis test to see if there is support for the actuaries' claim. State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1 that we would use for this test. H0:H1:
An experimental study examined whether method of daily announcement affects worker productivity. A factory with two facilities with similar worker productivity percentages participated in the study. One facility delivered daily announcements all day on a screen located in the break room. Worker productivity percentages were compared between the two facilities. What is the independent variable? what is the dependent variable? What is the null hypothesis? what is the alternative/research hypothesis? If they reported t(25=1.95 and it is two-tailed, using the critical value, what is tcv? what should the researcher conclude about the null hypothesis? (reject/fail to reject)
