Scientists conducted an experiment and tested the eflect of replacing rabbits' soybean diet with Gliricidia sepium Leal Meal (GLM). Twenty-five young rabbits were randomly assigned to receive either O, 5%, 10%, 15, or 20% GLM. Suppose, rather than random assignment, the scientists chose the following method: The research assistant who was in charge of gathering rabbits went in the barn and assigned the first five rabbits he could catch to the 0% group. He assigned the next five that he caught to the 5% group, and so on. What type of sampling technique is this? Your answer: O Simple random sampling O Suratified random sampling O Systematic sampling O Cluster sampling O Convenience sampling

The average worker at a local brake manufacturer produces 10 brakes per day (other statistical information was not known). An industrial psychologist was hired to increase worker productivity and a new assembly method was designed and tested in a sample of workers. Identify the appropriate test.

A manufacturing company that produces laminate for countertops is interested in studying the relationship between the number of hours of training that an employee receives and the number of defects per countertop produced. Ten employees are randomly selected. The number of hours of training each employee has received is recorded and the number of defects on the most recent countertop produced is determined. The results are as follows. Hours of Training Defects per Countertop 1 5 4 1 7 0 3 3 2 5 2 4 5 1 5 2 1 8 6 2 Copy Data The estimated regression line and the standard error are given. Defects per Countertop=6.717822−1.004950(Hours of Training)se=1.229787se=1.229787 Suppose a new employee has had 5 hours of training. What would be the 90% prediction interval for the number of defects per countertop? Round your answer to two decimal places.
The IRS is concerned with improving the accuracy of tax information given by its representatives over the telephone. Previous studies involved asking a set of 25 questions of a large number of IRS telephone representatives to determine the proportion of correct responses. Historically, the average proportion of correct responses has been 72 percent. Recently, IRS representatives have been receiving more training. On April 26, the set of 25 tax questions were again asked of 20 randomly selected IRS telephone representatives. The proportions of correct answers were: 21, 20, 19, 16, 22, 15, 21, 15, 17, 15, 24, 17, 24, 21, 18, 16, 23, 16, 21, and 20. a. What are the upper and lower control limits for the appropriate p-chart for the IRS? Use z = 3. The UCL, equals and the LCLp equals ☐ . (Enter your responses rounded to four decimal places. If your answer for LCLp is negative, enter this value as 0.)

A manufacturer of automobile shock absorbers was interested in comparing the durability of its shock absorbers with that of the shock absorbers produced by its biggest competitor. To make the comparison, one of the manufacturer's and one of the competitor's shock absorbers were randomly selected and installed on the rear wheels of each of six cars. After the cars had been driven 20,000 kilometres, the strength of each test shock absorbers was measured, coded and recorded. It is given that the population variances are equal for both groups. The results of the examination are shown in the Table below. Manufacturer's shock absorbers Car number 1 8.8 Competitor's shock absorbers 8.4 10.1 2 10.5 3 12.5 12.0 4 9.7 9.3 5 9.6 9.0 6 13.2 13.0 Determine whether there is sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a difference in the mean strength of the two types of shock absorbers after 20,000 kilometres of use by using a level of significance of 0.05.

Using the same question from #3 A survey is done to find out the favorite movies of 500 children. The children are categorized into male and female, and a sample of 50 children is chosen. Answer the following question: If the number of female children is 300, what is the sample size of each stratum? a male sample: 40 and female sample: 10 b male sample; 25 and female sample: 25 c male sample: 30 and female sample: 20 d male sample: 20 and female sample: 30
An experiment to determine the most effective way to teach safety principles applied four different teaching methods. Some employees were given programmed instruction booklets and worked through the course at their own pace. Other employees attended lectures. A third group watched a television presentation, and a fourth group was divided into small discussion groups. A high of 10 was possible. A sample of five tests was selected from each group. The test grade results were: Sample Number Programmed Instruction Lecture TV Group Discussion 1 6 8 7 8 2 7 5 9 5 3 6 8 6 6 4 5 6 8 6 5 6 8 5 5 At the 0.01 level, what is the critical value?

A crossover trial is a type of experiment used to compare two drugs. Subjects take one drug for a period of time, then switch to the other. The responses of the subjects are then compared using matched-pair methods. In an experiment to compare two pain relievers, seven subjects took one pain reliever for two weeks, then switched to the other. They rated their pain level from 1 to 10, with larger numbers representing higher levels of pain. The results were: Subject Drug A Drug B 1 6 5 2 3 1 3 4 4 7 6 2 7 4 2 Can you conclude that the mean pain level is less with drug B? Use a=0.05. (1) Critical Value (Round off to 3 decimal places): (2) Test Statistic (Round off to 2 decimal places): (3) Conclusion: (Type 'Reject HO' or 'Fail to Reject HO')

A local health department believes that a store is merchandising its cereal aisle in a way that puts sugary cereal brands at eye level for children. The store claims that it is not considering sugar content and is stocking the shelves based on other factors. An inspector visited the store and recorded the sugar content per serving listed on the boxes (sugar content for each box is listed under the shelf where that box of cereal is located). Shelf 1 Shelf 2 Shelf 3 Shelf 4 7 13 6 10 8. 5 14 7 8 11 11 10 11 3 a) What are the treatment groups, and how many experimental units are there per treatment? b) If instead of using the content listed on the box, the inspector sampled from multiple boxes of each brand of cereal and tested them for sugar content. How many experimental units were there be if there were 10 boxes per brand on the shelf? Explain your answer. [hint: all the boxes for each brand will be in one place] c) State the null hypothesis and create an ANOVA table based on sugar…
