A manufacturer of potato chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 428 gram setting. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.05 level that the bags are overfilled? Assume the population is normally distributed. State the null and alternative hypotheses for the above scenario.

(iv) For testing hypotheses: Ho: Bi = 0 H₁: B 0, for i = 1, 2, 3, 4. find t-statistics. Then on paper show how to use them to make conclusions (do not use p-values). If for some i (i = 1, 2, 3, 4) you do not reject Ho, remove the corresponding variables from consideration. Run regression again. State the new model. Compare the models.

identify either the similarities or the differences between Enron and the Stanley Milgrim Experiment. So, take the position either of, "this is how the Milgrim experiment explains what happened in Enron" or of, "the Milgrim experiment explains little about what transpired at Enron because it is a totally different situation in this way...". Provide at least three different pieces of evidence to illustrate your point.

An engineer wishes to design a test to find the mean resistance of a wire. He wants to determine a sample size so that if the mean is different than 0.8 ohms (say, in reality the mean is more than 0.15 ohms different from 0.8 in either direction), the test will detect this with high probability, like 90%. The standard deviation is known to be 0.9 and the significance level of the test 0.08. What is the required sample size? 110.25 X
