The cereal lling machine known from last week's problem set has now been repaired and adjusted such that the standard deviation of the amount of cereal in each bag has decreased to the more reasonable 0.06 kg. But a new problem has appeared: Although the regulator's indicator is set to 2.0 kg, it seems that most bags are lled with more than 2 kg. To conrm or disprove the suspicion that the indicator is no longer pointing at µ, the expected amount of cereal, a sample of 10 bags is taken with the following result: 2.2 2.3 2.0 2.3 1.9 1.9 2.2 2.3 2.2 2.0 Find a 95% condence interval for µ. Should the regulator be adjusted?

please answer both questions within 30 minutes. its urgent. The Home and Garden (HG) chain of superstores imports decorative planters from Italy. Weekly demand for planters averages 1,500 with a standard deviation of 800. Each planter costs $10. HG incurs a holding cost of 25% per year to carry inventory. HG has an opportunity to set up a superstore in the Bakersfield region. Each order shipped from Italy incurs a fixed transportation and delivery cost of $10,000. Consider 52 weeks in the year. If the delivery lead time from Italy is 1 week and HG wants to provide its customers a cycle service level of 90%, how much safety stock should it carry? 1,025 1,776 1,940 2,253 A firm sells electronic components through catalogs. Catalogs are printed once every year. Each printing run incurs a variable production cost of $5 per catalog. Annual demand for catalogs is estimated to be normally distributed with a mean of 16,000 and standard deviation of 4,000. Data indicates that, on…
A demographics researcher claims that the mean household income in a recent year is the same in Ada County, Idaho, and Cameron Parish, Louisiana. In Ada County, a sample of 18 residents has a mean household income of $58,300 and a standard deviation of $9,000. In Cameron Parish, a sample of 20 residents has a mean household income of $56,600 and a standard deviation of $15,600. At α=0.10, can you reject the demographics researcher’s claim. Assume the population variances are not equal. a) Null and Alternative Hypothesis b) Determine the critical value using the t-table c) Determine the rejection region d) Calculate test statistic e) Accept or reject the null hypothesis
Which of the following values represents the standard deviation about your estimate of average age? A. 2.9 B. 31.0 C. 28.2 D. 2.7 E. 1.8 Which age group has the highest age specific survival rate? A. 4 yrs B. 10 yrs C. 0 yrs D. 2 yrs E. 8 yrs F. 6 yrs
Our environment is very sensitive to the amount of ozone in the upper atmosphere. The level of ozone normally found is 4.8 parts/million (ppm). A researcher believes that the current ozone level is at an insufficient level. The mean of 6 samples is 4.6 pm with a standard deviation of 1.0 Does the data support the claim at the 0.05 level? Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Step 4 of 5 : Determine the decision rule for rejecting the null hypothesis. Round your answer to three decimal places.
A recent newspaper article reported the results of a survey of well-educated suburban parents. The responses to one question indicated that by age 2, children were watching an average ofµ = 60 minutes of television each day. Assuming that the distribution of television-watching times is normal with a standard deviation of σ = 25, find each of the following proportions. What proportion of 2-year-old children watch more than90 minutes of television each day? What proportion of 2-year-old children watch less than 20 minutesa day?
Final answers should be either in lowest-term Fraction or up to 4 decimal places only. For even smaller numbers, round off to the nearest non-zero digit.
The mean volume of a large population of vials used to be 10.9 ml. To test whether this value has decreased, a random sample of size 300 vials are measured and found to have a sample mean of 10.5 ml. We will assume that the population of vial volumes is normally distributed with standard deviation of 3.6 ml. Test whether the mean population volume has decreased at a level of significance of 1%. Show your relevant steps below. Step 1: Hypotheses: • The null hypothesis Ho is (choose one): µ = 10.9 X = 10.5 x = 10.9 u = 10.5 • For the alternative hypothesis Ha we change the equal sign in Ho to (choose one):
Although, it is commonly believed that the mean for the human body temperature is 98.6 F, others doubt it. A random sample of 100 persons showed the mean body temperature to be 98.4 F with standard deviation of .76 F. At a .05 level of significance, find if the data indicates that the mean for the human body temperature is not equal to 98.6. Find t*
Use the following information for questions 3 and 4. A study of class lengths at two schools was done using independent samples. 31 classes were chosen from each. The first school had a mean length of 50.1 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.6 minutes. The second school had a mean length of 48.9 and a standard deviation of 2.2 minutes. We want to determine at α = 0.01 if the means are different. Assume all test conditions are satisfied. What are the null and alternate hypotheses (write in equation/inequality form)?
An engineer has designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The engineer designed the valve such that it would produce a mean pressure of 7.0 pounds/square inch. The valve was tested on 22 engines and the mean pressure was 6.7 pounds/square inch with a standard deviation of 0.7. Is there evidence at the 0.05 level that the valve does not perform to the specifications? Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Step 1 of 5: State the null and alternative hypotheses.
