Cell Phone Radiation Listed below are the measured radiation absorption rates (in W/kg) corresponding to these cell phones: iPhone 5S, BlackBerry Z30, Sanyo Vero, Optimus V, Droid Razr, Nokia N97, Samsung Vibrant, Sony Z750a, Kyocera Kona, LG G2, and Virgin Mobile Supreme. The data are from the Federal Communications Commission. If one of each model of cell phone is measured for radiation and the results are used to find the measures of variation, are the results typical of the population of cell phones that are in use?
A psychologist would like to examine the effects of different testing methods on the final performance of college students. One group has regular quizzes, one group has three large exams, and the third group only has a final exam. At the end of the course, the psychologist interviews each student to get a measure of the student's overall knowledge of the material. Do these data indicate any significant differences among the three methods? Do the following computations: a. Compute and report the F Ratio at a a = .05 b. Compute and report the Tukey's HSD to determine exactly which methods are significantly different.

The average monthly rent for one-bedroom apartments in New York has been $900. Because of the inflation in the housing market, it is believed that there has been an increase in the average rental. The correct hypotheses to be tested are Ho: μ ≥ 900 Ho: μ = 900 Ho: μ > 900 Ho: μ 900.
An article in the ASCE Journal of Energy Engineering describes a study of the thermal inertia properties of autoclaved aerated concrete used as a building material. Five samples of the material were tested in a structure, and the average interior temperatures (°C) reported were as follows: 23.01, 22.22, 22.04, 22.62, and 22.59. Test the hypotheses Ho: u = 22.5 versus H2: µ # 22.5, using a = 0.05. a. Test on Mean, Variance Unknown b. Test on Variance and Standard Deviation c. Test on Population Proportion d.

Please review Section 11.1. Are you an impulse shopper? A survey of 800 grocery shoppers indicated that 36% of males and 42% of females make an impulse purchase every time they shop. Assume that the survey consisted of 400 males and 400 females. Let group 1 be the males and let group 2 be the females. a = 0.01 H, :T, = R, H :, # R, Calculate the test statistic: (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Determine the critical value: (Round to three decimal places as needed.) State the Conclusion: Please review Section 12.2. An agent for a residential real estate company in a suburb located outside a major city has the business objective of developing more accurate estimates of the monthly rental cost for apartments. Toward the goal, the agent would like to use the size of an apartment, as defined by square footage to predict the monthly rental cost. The agent selects a sample of 8 one-bedroom apartments and the data are shown. Size (Square Feet) Monthly Rent ($) 875 1550 850 1350 950…
Answer A, B1, and B2: A. The National Institute of Mental Health published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 9.5 percent of American adults suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 100 people in a certain town, seven of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that town suffering from depression or a depressive illness is lower than the percent in the general adult American population. B. Researchers interested in lead exposure due to car exhaust sampled the blood of 52 police officers subjected to constant inhalation of automobile exhaust fumes while working traffic enforcement in a primarily urban environment. The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 124.32 µg/l and a SD of 37.74 µg/l; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level…

The coefficient of variation for the male pulse rates iS (Type an integer or decimal rounded to one decimal place as needed.) B. The coefficient of variation for the female pulse rates is (Type an integer or decimal rounded to one decimal place as needed.)
An experiment to compare the tension bond strength of polymer latex modified mortar (Portland cement mortar to which polymer latex emulsións have been added during mixing) to that of unmodified mortar resulted in x = 18.11 kgf/cm2 for the modified mortar (m = 42) and y = 16.88 kgf/cm2 for the unmodified mortar (n = 31). Let ₁ and ₂ be the true average tension bond strengths for the modified and unmodified mortars, respectively. Assume that the bond strength distributions are both normal. (a) Assuming that o₁ = 1.6 and ₂ = 1.3, test Ho: ₁ - ₂ = 0 versus H₂: H₁ - H₂> 0 at level 0.01. Calculate the test statistic and determine the P-value.

Your company manufactures plastic wrap for food storage. The tear resistance of the wrap, denoted by X, must be controlled so that the wrap can be torn off the roll without too much effort but it does not tear too easily when in use. In a series of tests (see data table below), 15 rolls of wrap are made under carefully controlled conditions and the tear resistance of each rool is measured. The results are used as the basis of a quality assurance specification. If X for a subsequently produced roll falls more than two standard deviations away from the test period average, the process is declared out of specification and production is suspended for routine maintenance.
