In an article published in May 2014, Puget Systems published a variety of data on failure rates of graphics cards. In their studies, they found 1.57% of the GT/GTX 6xx series failed "in the field" (meaning cards actually sold to customers). Suppose we have a batch of 1000 of these cards and suppose the in-field failure rates of these cards happens to match up with the failure rate found by Puget. If you were to purchase two of these cards from the batch of 1000, what is the probability that at least one of your cards will fail?

The assessment of diet is an important exposure for many disease outcomes. However, there is often much imprecision in dietary recall. In one study, 70-to 79-year-old women were asked about the preschool diet of their children (ages 2−4) using a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). A unique aspect of the study is that simultaneous diet record data exist on the same children recorded in real time by their mothers when they were ages 2−4 and their mothers were 20 to 40 years old. The data in Table 11.36 were available on average servings of margarine per week.

A study was performed to test the effectiveness of a new treatment for migraines. There were 125 patients in the study. Of these, 60 were randomly assigned to receive the standard treatment and 65 to receive the new treatment. All were instructed to take the medication at the onset of their next migraine and to notice if the pain of their migraine felt reduced after half an hour. Fifty patients receiving the new treatment reported reduced pain, compared with only 40 of the patients receiving the standard treatment. The results seem to favor the new treatment, but could the difference just be due to chance? In this problem, consider the null hypothesis that the percentage of patients with a reduction in pain is the same between the two treatments, versus the alternative hypothesis that the percentages are different. (a) Under the null hypothesis, the difference in the sample percentages is expected to be ___%. The standard error for the difference is estimated to be ___%. (b) Calculate…
Suppose you are a production manager for a small firm that manufactures designer phone cases. Your production facility utilizes three machines. Quality is binary — each phone case is either defective or it is not defective. Each hour, Machines 1, 2, and 3 produce 10, 10 and 20 phone cases, respectively. But because the machines differ slightly in their technology, data on past production has shown that they differ in terms of their rates of defective output — specifically, Machines 1, 2, and 3 have rates of defective production of 2%, 4%, and 5%, respectively. If one phone case is selected randomly from one hour’s total output, and that phone case is found to be defective, what is the probability that it was produced by Machine 1? Machine 2? Machine 3?
The owner of a chain of mini-markets wants to compare the sales performance of two of her stores, Store 1 and Store 2. Sales can vary considerably depending on the day of the week and the season of the year, so she decides to eliminate such effects by making sure to record each store's sales on the same sample of days. After choosing a random sample of 10 days, she records the sales (in dollars) for each store on these days, as shown in the table below. Day 1 2 3 7 8 10 Store 1 642 320 937 399 946 544 562 257 758 538 Store 2 601 68 841 323 834 603 486 92 480 268 Difference - 59 41 (Store 1 - Store 2) 252 96 76 112 76 165 278 270 Send data to calc... v Based on these data, can the owner conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that the mean daily sales of the two stores differ? Answer this question by performing a hypothesis test regarding µ, (which is µ with a letter "d" subscript), the population mean daily sales difference between the two stores. Assume that this population of…
In laboratories where clinical tests are carried out, two types of test are available for the detection of a highly contagious virus. The Type A test is very fast and inexpensive while the Type B test is a test that requires more time to obtain a diagnosis and is more expensive. It is known that the economic test. Type A, generates correct diagnosis (C) in 60% of cases. While the Type B test provides the correct diagnosis (C) in 99% of cases. If after six months of quarantine due to this virus the health secretary realizes that 80% of the tests carried out in the state correspond to Type A economic tests and only 20% were Type B. If it is known that a test made an incorrect diagnosis. What is the probability that the Type A economic test did? .9937 .24844 .322 .6211 .3788
In an article published in 2012 at Telegraph.co.uk, Warranty Direct gave engine failure rates for a variety of car brands based on their database of UK direct consumer warranties. The following are known: ● Hondas failed at a rate of 1 in 344. ● Fords failed at a rate of 1 in 80. ● Audis failed at a rate of 1 in 27. Suppose Hondas account for 20% of sales at a particular dealer, Audis 30%, and Fords 50%. Assuming the engine failure rates apply to these vehicles. Determine the probability that a randomly selected vehicle from this dealer will experience engine failure.
Beryllium is an extremely lightweight metal that is used in many industries, such as aerospace and electronics. Long-term exposure to beryllium can cause people to become sensitized. Once an individual is sensitized, continued exposure can result in chronic beryllium disease, which involves scarring of the lungs. In a study of the effects of exposure to beryllium, workers were categorized by their duration of exposure (in years) and by their disease status (diseased, sensitized, or normal). The results were as follows: Duration of Exposure <1 1 to <5 ≥5 Diseased 14 13 18 Sensitized 11 20 15 Normal 78 140 209 Test the hypothesis of independence. Use the a=0.10 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator. What do you conclude? State the null and alternate hypotheses.
Anita's, a fast-food chain specializing in hot dogs and garlic fries, keeps track of the proportion of its customers who decide to eat in the restaurant (as opposed to ordering the food "to go") so it can make decisions regarding the possible construction of in-store play areas, the attendance of its mascot Sammy at the franchise locations, and so on. Anita's reports that 52% of its customers order their food to go. Suppose that this proportion is correct and that a random sample of 40 individual customers is taken. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Estimate the number of customers in the sample who order their food to go by giving the mean of the relevant distribution (that is, the expectation of the relevant random variable). Do not round your response. (b) Quantify the uncertainty of your estimate by giving the standard deviation of the distribution. Round your response to at least three decimal places. acer DII %23 $4 @ 3. 2 t r e tab f d
