A company claims to have invented a hand-held sensor that can detect the presence of explosivesinside a closed container. Law enforcement and security agencies are very interested inpurchasing several of the devices if they are shown to perform effectively. An independentlaboratory arranged a preliminary test. If the device can detect explosives at a rate greater thanchance would predict, a more rigorous test will be performed. They placed four empty boxes inthe corners of an otherwise empty room. For each trial they put a small quantity of an explosivein one of the boxes selected at random. The company's technician then entered the room andused the sensor to try to determine which of the four boxes contained the explosive. Theexperiment consisted of 50 trials, and the technician was successful in finding the explosive 16times. Does this indicate that the device is effective in sensing the presence of explosives, andshould undergo more rigorous testing?a) Test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusion.b) Was your test one-tail upper tail, lower tail, or two-tail? Explain why you chose that kindof test in this situation.
