Jerry is considering opening a new ice cream store at a certain location on State Street in Madison. Jerry conducts some analysis and determines that a given location is acceptable only if the number of pedestrians passing the potential location averages more than 100 per hour. To check if this location is acceptable, Jerry records the number of pedestrians observed for each of 40 hours. Jerry finds that the average number of pedestrians that pass the potential location during each of the 40 hours he was observing, is 105.7 per hour. Jerry assumes that he knows the population standard deviation to be 16. Can Jerry conclude at the 1% significance level that the potential location for the ice cream store is acceptable? a. What is the correct set of hypotheses? Answer: Ho: u- 100 and H1: u> 100 v b. Determine the p-value Answer: 0.0122 c. Interpret the results Answer: There is not enough evidence v d. Jerry is concerned with committing a Type II error. Determine the probability of Type II error when the actual mean is 104 pedestrians per hour.

A car company conducts crash tests of its new airbag system to evaluate its safety. One hundred cars are run into a solid concrete barrier at a speed of 35 miles per hour, and the chest compression of a crash test dummy is measured each time. They hope that the average compression if the test were repeated over and over (which we could think of as the population) would be about 2 inches, corresponding to an injury that would be painful but not fatal. In the hundred tests, the average chest compression in the crash test dummies was 2.1 inches, with an SD of 0.2 inches.(a) State the null and alternative hypotheses in terms of the problem.(b) What kind of box model will we use for this problem? A 0-1 box, or a box with other values on the tickets?(c) State the null and alternative hypotheses in terms of the box model (d) Compute the z test statistic and the p-value, using the sample average as your statistic as you compute z (e) What do you conclude?
When the measure of spread is compared between two data sets, data set A has an interquartile range of 12, and data set B has an interquartile range of 23. How do the values of data set A compare to data set B? The values of data set A are about the same on average as the values of data set B. The values of data set A are more spread out compared to the values of data set B. The values of data set A are less spread out compared to the values of data set B. The values of data set A are less on average compared to the values of data set B.
Complete the following statements. In general, set lie at or below the median. % of the values in a data set lie at or % of the values in a data below the first quartile (Q1). If a sample consists of 1700 test scores, of them would be at or below the second quartile (Q2). If a sample consists of 1700 test scores, of them would be at or above the third quartile (Q3).
Some commercial airlines recirculate about half the air in the cabin during flights as a way to improve fuel efficiency. Other airlines make a policy of NOT recirculating the air and instead, have fresh air from the atmosphere constantly being inserted into the cabin with the “old” air being pumped out of the plane. A total of 1100 passengers flying from San Francisco to Denver were used for an experiment. After their flight, they were each given a list of symptoms associated with the common cold. They were asked to report if they experienced cold symptoms within 24 hours of the flight landing. Of the 517 passengers who flew on planes that recirculate the air, 108 reported post-flight cold symptoms. Of the 583 passengers who flew on airlines that do not use recirculation in the cabin, 110 reported symptoms. Suppose now that we want to use the recirculation of air data to explore “Goal #2”, which is to resolve a hypothesis test about . a) If we want to resolve this hypothesis…
Use the information below to answer questions 27 and 28. Consider again the NCHS-reported mean total cholesterol level in 2002 for all adults is 2003. Suppose a new drug is proposed to lower total cholesterol. A study is designed to evaluate the ecacy of the drug in lowering cholesterol. Fifteen patients are enrolled in the study and asked to take the new drug for 6 weeks. At the end of 6 weeks, each patient’s total cholesterol level is measured and the sample statistics are as follows:n = 15, x̄ = 195.9, and s = 28.7. Is there statistical evidence of a reduction in mean total cholesterol in patients after using the new drug for 6 weeks? 27.

AJ’s sleep pattern had been fluctuating due to stress and diet, so he started to keep a diary of how many hours he slept each night. On the 4th night after he started the diary, AJ slept 9.4 hours, which was the most sleep he got any night. Gradually, he got less sleep each successive night until, on the 18th night after he started the diary, AJ slept 6.2 hours, which was the least sleep he got any night. After keeping his diary for 6 months, he realized that the number of hours he got each night followed a sinusoidal curve. Let t be the number of nights since he started his diary, and s be how many hours he slept that night. It may be helpful to draw a crude sketch of the sleep time function and label the known t − and s − values on it. POSITIVE or NEGATIVE SIN or COS Maximum s − value = Minimum s − value = ______________ ______________ Middle s − value = ______________ = D Amplitude = ______________ = A ⇒ B = ______________ Given the crude sketch of the height function, the…
