Management of a company that produces a medical device has carefully selected and screened 220 finished items (packaged, ready to ship). The team agrees that the sample contains 33 defective items, all for various visual defects on the package such as crooked labels, poor seal, errant marks on package, etc. The items are then given to an inspector for classification into “defective” and “non-defective” piles. The inspector ends up rejecting 9 non-defective items, and accepting 11 defective items. The inspector classifies the remaining items in the sample correctly. Find the following (answer as a probability, NOT a percentage. Use 2 decimal places: What is the apparent level of quality in the face of inspector error?

If a hurricane was headed your way, would you evacuate? The headline of a press release states, "Thirty-two Percent of People on High-Risk Coast Will Refuse Evacuation Order, Survey of Hurricane Preparedness Finds." This headline was based on a survey of 4,625 adults who live within 20 miles of the coast in high hurricane risk counties of eight southern states. In selecting the sample, care was taken to ensure that the sample would be representative of the population of coastal residents in these states. In USE SALT (a) Use this information to estimate the proportion of coastal residents who would evacuate using a 98% confidence interval. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) (b) Write a few sentences interpreting the interval and the confidence level associated with the interval. We are % confident that the proportion of all coastal residents who -Select-- v evacuate is within the confidence interval. If we were to take a large number of random samples of size 4,625, % of the…
On election day, a local TV news organization stayed at three polling locations in Fairfield county and asked voters whether they voted for candidate A in the election for the US Senate seat. The ’yes’ responses they got were 520 out of 945, 475 out of 865, and 485 out of 980 in the three different locations. They aggregated the sample data into 1480 out of 2790 and after the 8pm close of the election reported their sample results to viewers. a) Go through the steps of a significance test to determine whether or not candidate A won the election. b) Based on the above sample data, at 8:01pm the news organization reported their estimate of the percentage of votes candidate A received and the margin of error of their poll. Calculate these numbers. They then aired their prediction that candidate A won the election. Discuss any concerns you have with their decision to report their prediction.

To test the fairness of law enforcement in Bartow County, a local citizens' group want to know whether women and men are unequally likely to get speeding tickets. Two hundred adults in Bartow County are randomly phoned and asked whether or not they had been cited for speeding in the last year. For a sample of 114 women, 12 were ticketed and 102 were not ticketed. For a sample of 86 men, 11 were ticketed and 75 were not ticketed. Use a 0.05 level of significance to test the claim that women and men are unequally likely to get speeding tickets. Women are sample proportion 1. Men are sample proportion 2. What is the z-test statistic for this problem? Round the answer to two decimal places. What is the p-value for this problem? Round the answer to three decimal places. What is the conclusion when you compare the p-value and the level of significance,? What is the conclusion based on the original claim?
A global corporation is currently in the process of expanding its operations, and the only option is to move to another site. The Human Resource Team has conducted a survey to its employees who live far from the site in order to find out if they are willing to stay in dormitories. The survey categorizes its respondents according to gender. In the samples sample of 500 males and 800 females, those who are willing to stay in dormitories are 241 and 168, respectively. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the difference between the two population proportions. Assuming that the HR’s estimated difference between the proportion of genders who are willing to stay in dormitories is 35%, is the team’s estimation accurate?
b) A test of 80 youths and 120 adults showed that 18 of the youths and 10 of the adults were careless drivers. Use a 1% level of significance to test the claim that youth percentage of careless drivers is higher than the adult percentage
The state highway department is studying traffic patterns on one of the busiest highways in the state. As part of the study, the department needs to estimate the average number of vehicles that pass an intersection each day. One of the department’s officer (Officer A) claims that on average, more than 15,000 cars passing the intersection. On the other hand, Officer B claims that on average, 18,000 cars passing the intersection. Meanwhile, a random sample of 64 days gives a sample mean of 14,205 cars and a sample standard deviation of 1,010 cars. Test both claim at 0.05 level of significance. Use the critical value approach and show the complete calculation steps for each testing. Whose claim is true? a)Testing Officer A’s claim State the hypotheses, find critical value and state the decision rule, compute the test value, make decision, conclusion. b) Testing Officer B’s claim State the hypotheses, find critical value and state the decision rule, compute the test value, make decision,…

It’s assumed that students need to stay awake more to study during finals week. One way to measure this is how much coffee is consumed during Finals week at night. A local coffee house near APU counted the number of cups of coffee sold per hour during Finals week after 6 p.m. We randomly select ten (10) hours of sales records during Finals week and find out that the following number of cups of coffee were consumed: 18, 17, 22, 14, 17, 20, 22, 24, 15, 15 By comparison, the sales records from a previous week were used as a comparison. The following number of cups of coffee were consumed over a seven (7) hour period: 9, 13, 5, 15, 17, 10, 11 a. Determine what is the appropriate statistical procedure, with a brief explanation (one sentence) as to why this is the appropriate procedure. b. State the null hypothesis. c. Execute the proper calculations with the appropriate procedures. d. Present a graph when appropriate of your results. e. Include any appropriate post-hoc tests. f. State…

The State of Virginia has instituted a series of standards of learning (SOL) tests in math, history, English, and science that all high school students must pass with a grade of 70 before they are allowed to graduate and receive their diplomas. The school superintendent of Montgomery County believes the tests are unfair because the test scores are closely related to teacher salary and tenure (i.e., the years a teacher has been at a school). The superintendent has sampled 12 other county school systems in the state and accumulated the following data for average teacher salary and average teacher tenure: a. Using Excel or QM for Windows, develop the multiple regression equation for these data. b. What is the coefficient of determination for this regression equation? Do you think the superintendent is correct in his beliefs? c. Montgomery County has an average SOL score of 74, with an average teacher salary of $27,500 and an average teacher tenure of 7.8 years. The superintendent has…
