An energy company wants to choose between two regions in a state to install energy-producing wind turbines. A researcher claims that the wind speed in Region A is less than the wind speed in Region B. To test the regions, the average wind speed is calculated for 90 days in each region. The mean wind speed in Region A is 13.7 miles per hour. Assume the population standard deviation is 2.8 miles per hour. The mean wind speed in Region B is 15.1 miles per hour. Assume the population standard deviation is 3.2 miles per hour. At a = 0.05, can the company support the researcher's claim? Complete parts (a) through (d) below.

To compare the dry braking distances from 30 to 0 miles per hour for two makes of automobiles, a safety engineer conducts braking tests for 35 models of Make A and 35 models of Make B. The mean braking distance for Make A is 42 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.7 feet. The mean braking distance for Make B is 45 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.4 feet. At a = 0.10, can the engineer support the claim that the mean braking distances are different for the two makes of automobiles? Assume the samples are random and independent, and the populations are normally distributed. Complete parts (a) rari rz (b) Find the critical value(s) and identify the rejection region(s).

A sample of 150 matched pairs of banks was formed in a study comparing banks in Turkey and Germany. Each pair contained one bank from Turkey and one from Germany. The pairings were made in such a way that the two members were as similar as possible in regard to such factors as size and age. The ratio of total loans outstanding to total assets was calculated for each of the banks. For this ratio, the sample mean difference (Turkey - Germany) was 0.0412, and the sample standard deviation of the differences was 0.3039. Test, against a two-sided alternative, the null hypothesis that the two population means are equal. (Assume a = 0.01.) Click the icon to view the critical values of the Student's t distribution.

In spite of the potential safety hazards, some people would like to have an Internet connection in their car. A preliminary survey of adult Americans has estimated this proportion to be somewhere around 0.30. Use the given preliminary estimate to determine the sample size required to estimate this proportion with a margin of error of 0.05.
In intaglio printing, a design or figure is carved beneath the surface of hard metal or stone. Suppose that an experiment is designed to compare differences in mean surface hardness of steel plates used in intaglio printing (measured in indentation numbers), based on two different surface conditions-untreated and treated by lightly polishing with emery paper. In the experiment, 40 steel plates are randomly assigned-20 that are untreated, and 20 that are treated. The results of the experiment are in the “Intaglio” data in Chapter 10_HW_Data.xls. Assuming that the population variances from both conditions are equal, is there evidence of a difference in the mean surface hardness between untreated and treated steel plates? (use α = 0.05) Determine the p-value in (a) and interpret its meaning. In addition to equal variances, what other assumption is necessary in (a)? Repeat Problem (a), assuming that the population variances from untreated and treated steel plates are not…

A manufacturing company glues one part to another part during the assembly of its final product. Either too much or too little glue presents a problem. It is important for the pressure of the glue nozzle (pounds per square inch) to be set correctly because it affects the amount of glue (ounces) that is applied. Ten applications are sampled and the following information collected: SSXX = 129.6 SSYY = 2.345 SSXY = 16.6 X bar = 25.2 Y bar = 2.05 What is the estimated y intercept?
