Assume that A, B, and C are subsets of a sample space S with Pr(A) = 0.75, Pr(B) = 0.55, Pr(C) = 0.25. 1. Find Pr(A'), Pr(B'), and Pr(C'). Pr(A') = Pr(B') = %3D Pr(C') = 2.

The supply management of a certain company suggested adopting the water-on-demand system in restaurants on a certain island, in order to conserve water. A restaurant owner stated that 30% of customers do not drink water, and therefore water conservation would be due not only to the water not drunk in each glass, but also to the water saved by washing the glasses. Suppose a sample of 480 restaurant patrons indicated that 128 do not drink water. Test the restaurant owner's claim at the 0.05 level of significance.
A particular phone case comes in 6 different colors, and in the past all 6 colors have sold at approximately equal rates. The manufacturer is concermed that some colors are becoming more popular than others and is concerned that the production of the colors needs to be modified. In order to look into this, he randomly selects 120 of their sales from amazon.com that have occurred over the past month and records the color of the phone case. The results are below. Test the hypothesis that the colors no longer sell at equal rates. Use .05 as the level of significance. Black White Pink Sky Orange Sage Blue 18 15 26 20 21 20
A veterinary hospital manager suspects that pet owners visit the veterinarian less than 3 times a year. To verify this suspicion, he hires a market research agency that takes a random sample of 64 clients and asks them the number of times they go to the veterinarian per year. The decision the market researcher makes is that if 2.8, then he will have sufficient evidence to say that the manager's suspicion is true. Assume that the frequency of visiting the veterinarian has a standard deviation of 1.02. a) Write the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis in this case. b) What is the rejection region used by the investigator? c) What is the probability of type I. error if this rejection region is used? d) If the true mean of the number of visits to the veterinarian is = 2.7, what is the probability of type II error? e) If the true mean of the number of visits to the veterinarian is = 2.7, what is the power of the test? f) If the true mean of the number of visits to…
We want to know if the average rating of attractiveness (1=homely, 5=stunning) of a typical person differs depending on the state they are located in. We believe that there will be significant differences in the average attractiveness of the people at each of the four states we examine. 1) Report (in words or statistical notation), our null and alternative hypothesis: Provided are the data we collected from four different states: OR, WA, ID, and CA (see below): OR WA ID CA X bar 3.01 3.07 2.88 3.7 SD 0.42 0.60 0.46 0.30 n 10 10 10 9 SS 92.19 97.47 84.84 123.95 2) Given that we have more than two samples, we need to conduct a one-way ANOVA. Conduct the test in order to calculate the F-statistic addressing our hypothesis. Be sure to calculate the grand mean and the between-groups & within-groups mean-squares first (also don’t forget to round to 2 decimal places and report the formulas!!): 3.) Calculate the degrees…
Based on the attached Table 2 and 3: 1) How would you describe the result of t = -1.45 in this study? 2) Which t test statistic listed in Table 3 represents the smallest relative difference between the pretest and 3 months? Is it statistically significant? What does this result mean? 3) What are the assumptions for conducting a t-test for dependent groups? Which of these assumptions do you think were met by this study?
Let {e} be a zero-mean, unit-variance white noise process. Consider a process {Y} which starts at time t = 0, and is defined recursively as follows: Let Yo = cieo, Y₁ = c₂Yo + e₁, and Y₁ = ¢₁Yt-1 + 2Yt-2 + et for t≥ 2 (as in an AR(2) process). a) Show that the process has zero mean. 1 b) For values of 01, 02 in the stationarity region for an AR (2) process, show how to choose C₁, C₂ such that both Var(Y) = Var(Y₁) and the lag 1 autocorrelation cov(Yo, Y₁) equals that of a stationary AR(2) process with parameters 01, 02. c) Once the process {Y} has been generated, show how one can transform in into a new process which has any desired mean and variance. (Remark. This gives a method for simu- lating stationary AR(2) processes.)
A major oil company has developed a new gasoline additive that is supposed to increase mileage. To test this hypothesis, ten cars are randomly selected. The cars are driven both with and without the additive. The results are displayed in the following table. Can it be concluded, from the data, that the gasoline additive does significantly increase mileage? Let d=(gas mileage with additive)−(gas mileage without additive)�=(gas mileage with additive)−(gas mileage without additive). Use a significance level of α=0.05�=0.05 for the test. Assume that the gas mileages are normally distributed for the population of all cars both with and without the additive.
