Consider the information above and in question 1. It is conjectured that the mean number of people attending all 2017 Veterans Day celebrations is 145, and of interest is to test this conjecture versus the alternative that the mean number of people attending all 2017 Veterans Day celebrations is different from 145 people To test the hypothesis, a simple random sample of 41 Veterans Day celebrations was selected and the number of people attending each was recorded. The mean number of people attending for this sample of 41 celebrations was 157, with a standard deviation of 23 people. The distribution of the data was bimodal. If appropriate, use this information to test the hypotheses stated in question 3 at the a= .05 level of significance. 4 Are the assumptions met? Yes, because there is a simple random sample Yes, because there is a simple random sample and the population is normally distributed Yes, because there is a simple random sample and the sample size is large enough for the…
Question A - A company producing steel nails receives an order for 5000 nails of length 50 mm. Due to externalfactors such as temperature and pressure, the lengths of the nails produced by the machine is normallydistributed with a standard deviation of 1.6 mm. Acceptable lengths (lengths that any customer willconsent to buy) must have a tolerance of 2 mm. If the machine is set to produce nails with a meanlength of 5.0 cm, determine the percentage of nails that are acceptable. A. 0.7888 / B. 0.8877 / C. 0.9921 / D. 0.7878 Further to the information provided in question A above, we are informed that nails produced thatare shorter than the minimum acceptable length have to be scrapped. Consider that 4.8cm is still theminimum threshold for acceptable nail length. If the cost to produce one nail is 45 cents, how muchdoes the company incur in Rand losses due to scrapping? A.

Section 9.2 Question #8 Listed below are time intervals (min) between eruptions of a geyser. Assume that the "recent" times are within the past few years, the "past" times are from around 20 years ago, and that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations. Do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. Does it appear that the mean time interval has changed? Is the conclusion affected by whether the significance level is 0.10 or 0.01?

2 In building electronic circuitry, the breakdown voltage of diodes is an important quality char- Acteristic. The breakdown voltage of 12 diodes were recorded as follows (in volta): 9.099 9.174 9.327 9.377 8.471 9.575 9.514 8.928 8.800 8.920 9.913 8.306 Solution A quality engineer claimed that the variability of the breakdown voltage is not less than 0.55. Can the data support the engineer's claimed at a 0.057 ii. If level of significance is reduced to 0.02, will you change the conclusions you have made in (i)? Justified your answer.
