Increasing numbers of businesses are offering child-care benefits for their workers However, one union claims that more than 90% of firms in the manufacturing sector still do not offer any child-care benefits to their workers. A random sample of 260 manufacturing firms is selected, and only 34 of them offer child-care benefits. Specify the rejection region that the union will use when testing at a = %3D 0.10.

According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) sponsored by the U.S. government, a random sample of 712 males between 20 and 29 years of age and a random sample of 1,001 males over the age of 75 were chosen and the weight of each of the males were recorded (in kg). Do the data provide evidence that the younger male population weighs more (on average) than the older male population? Use “Y” for ages 20-29 and “S” for ages 75+. It was found that x̅Y=83.4, sY=18.7, x̅S=78.5, and sS=19.0. a) Is the normality condition met for this test? (see picture) No, since the histograms show skewness and outliers . Yes, since both sample sizes are larger than 30. No, since both sample sizes, nY and nS, are less than 30. Yes, since it was stated that the two populations are normally distributed. b)What are the correct degrees of freedom for this test? Group of answer choices 999 1000 1712 1711 711

The automated data collection system for a manufacturing process will record data for 25,000 parts per day. Assume that, when stable, a certain process will operate with a nonconformance rate of 37.6 NCPPM (nonconforming parts per million). If the nonconformance rate per day is to be monitored using a control chart, what type of chart would be used? Choose a P, U, or X-Bar/S Charts, and explain in a few words.

A student researcher was surprised to learn that the 2017 NCAA Student-Athlete Substance Use Survey supported that college athletes make healthier decisions in many areas than their peers in the general student body. He collected data of his own, focusing exclusively on male student-athletes to see if such habits vary based on one’s sport. He asked 93 male student-athletes whether they had engaged in binge-drinking in the last month (> 5 drinks in a single sitting). Data are provided in the table below.

Courtney and Lexi wondered if the distribution of color was the same for name-brand gummy bears (Haribo Gold) and store- brand gummy bears (Great Value). To investigate, they randomly selected 6 bags of each type and counted the number of gummy bears of each color. The data are presented in the table. Courtney and Lexi use a chi-square test for homogeneity to assess differences between the gummy bear brands. Do these data provide convincing evidence that the distributions of color differ for name-brand gummy bears and store-brand gummy bears at the a = 0.05 level?
