Planning engineers want to construct a confidence interval for the standard deviation of the runtime of a certain manufacturing process (a), assuming that the runtimes will be approximately Normal. They make 19 random observations and find that, on average, the process takes 290 seconds, with a sample standard deviation of 15 seconds.

An IQ test is designed so that the mean is 100 and the standard deviation is 25 for the population of normal adults. Find the sample size necessary to estimate the mean IQ score of statistics students such that it can be said with 99% confidence that the sample mean is within 6 IQ points of the true mean. Assume that sigma=25 and determine the required sample size using technology. Then determine if this is a reasonable sample size for a real world calculation. The required sample size is____. (Round up to the nearest integer.) Would it be reasonable to sample this number of students? Yes. This number of IQ test scores is a fairly small number. No. This number of IQ test scores is a fairly large number. Yes. This number of IQ test scores is a fairly large number. No. This number of IQ test scores is a fairly small number.
The breaking strengths of cables produced by a certain manufacturer have historically had a mean of 1875 pounds and a standard deviation of 70 pounds. The company believes that, due to an improvement in the manufacturing process, the mean breaking strength, µ, of the cables is now greater than 1875 pounds. To see if this is the case, 46 newly manufactured cables are randomly chosen and tested, and their mean breaking strength is found to be 1886 pounds. Assume that the population is normally distributed. Can we support, at the 0.05 level of significance, the claim that the population mean breaking strength of the newly- manufactured cables is greater than 1875 pounds? Assume that the population standard deviation has not changed. Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places, and round your responses as specified below. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis H and the…
The ability to determine the age of some individuals can be difficult if there are not quality government records of birth. Bone growth takes place at the growth plates at the end of long bones. Once all growth plates fuse, growth stops, and an individual is considered a biological adult. The age at which growth plates fuse for males is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 18.7 years and a standard deviation of 16 months. Complete parts (a) through (d) (a) What is the probability a male's growth plates fuse after age 20? The probability a male's growth plates fuse after age 20 is (Round to four decimal places as needed) (b) What is the probability a male's growth plates fuse before age 177 The probability a male's growth plates fuse before age 17 is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (c) What proportion of male growth plates fuse between 16 and 17 years of age? COLLE The proportion of male growth plates that fuse between 16 and 17 years of age is (Round to four…
Can we use the standard deviation to compare variability of two or more datasets? Is the z-score a real measure of dispersion? If the data is highly skewed, can we still rely on the kurtosis coefficient?
A coin-operated drink machine was designed to discharge a mean of 6 fluid ounces of coffee per cup. In a test of the machine, the discharge amounts in 19 randomly chosen cups of coffee from the machine were recorded. The sample mean and sample standard deviation were 5.92 fluid ounces and 0.24 fluid ounces, respectively. If we assume that the discharge amounts are approximately normally distributed, is there enough evidence, to conclude that the population mean discharge, μ, differs from 6 fluid ounces? Use the 0.10 level of significance. Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places.

The ages of a group of 131 randomly selected adult females have a standard deviation of 17.2 years. Assume that the ages of female statistics students have less variation than ages of females in the general population, so let o = 17.2 years for the sample size calculation. How many female statistics student ages must be obtained in order to estimate the mean age of all female statistics students? Assume that we want 95% confidence that the sample mean is within one-half year of the population mean. Does it seem reasonable to assume that the ages of female statistics students have less variation than ages of females in the general population? The required sample size is (Round up to the nearest whole number as needed.) Does it seem reasonable to assume that the ages of female statistics students have less variation than ages of females in the general population? O A. No, because there is no age difference between the population of statistics students and the general population. O B.…
A two-tailed hypothesis test for a population mean is to be performed at the 1% level of significance. The population standard deviation is know. True or false: The critical values are the two z-scores which divide the area under the standard normal curve into a middle 0.98 area and two outside areas of 0.01.
Part Variability is critical in the manufacturing of the ball bearings. Large variances in the size of the ball bearings cause bearing failure and rapid wear out. Production standards call for a maximum variance of .0001 when the bearing sizes are measured in inches. A sample of 15 bearings shows a sample standard deviation of .014. a. Compute the 90% confidence interval estimate of the variance of the ball bearings in the population. b. Use a= 0.10 to determine whether the sample indicates that the maximum acceptable variance is being exceeded. Use critical value approach. ( Note: You must state null and alternative hypotheses, compute the test statistic, Report the critical Value, and draw a conclusion.

Humerus bones from the same species of animal have approximately the same length-to-width ratios. It is known that Species A has a mean ratio of 5.9. Suppose that 100 fossil humerus bones were unearthed at a site where Species A is known to have flourished. (We assume that all bones are from the same species.) The length-to-width ratios of these bones have a sample mean 5.6 and sample standard deviation 0.25. Can we conclude that the mean ratio of these bones is significantly smaller than those of Species A? Test with a 0.01 significance level. What is the standard error?
