The manufacturer of a certain voltmeter claims that 95% or more of its readings are within 0.1% of the true value. In a sample of 500 readings, 470 were within 0.1% of the true value. Is there enough evidence to reject the claim?

Consider a population of 1024 mutual funds that primarily invest in large companies. You have determined that µ, the mean one-year total percentage return achieved by all the funds, is 9.80 and that o, the standard deviation, is 0.50. Complete (a) through (c). a. According to the empirical rule, what percentage of these funds is expected to be within ±2 standard deviations of the mean? %
A manufacturer of light bulbs may want to be reasonably certain that less than 3% of the bulbs are defective. Suppose 300 bulbs are randomly selected from a very large shipment. Each tested and 10 defective bulbs are found. Does this provide sufficient evidence for the manufacturer to conclude that the fraction defective in the entire shipment is less than 0.03? The correct test statistic (rounded off to three decimals) is: A. Z = 0.338 B. T = 0.332 C. Z = - 0.322 D. Z = 0.321

A bottler carefully weighs bottles coming off its production line to check that the system is filling the bottles with the correct amount of beverage. By design, the system is set to slightly overfill the bottles to allow for random variation in the packaging. The content weight is designed to be 814 g with standard deviation 9 g. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. (a) A proposed system shuts down the facility if the contents of a bottle weigh less than 800 g. What is the chance of a Type I error with this system? The chance of a Type I error is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

Two different types of injection-molding machines are used to form plastic parts. A part is considered defective if has excessive shrinkage or is discolored. Two random samples, each of size 300, are selected, and 15 defective parts are found in the sample from machine 1, and 8 defective parts are found in the sample from machine 2. Is it reasonable to conclude that both machines produce the same fraction of defective parts, using a = 0.10. a. Fail to reject the Null Hypothesis. -1.96 -1.96 c. Fail to reject the Null Hypothesis. -1.65 < 1.49 < 1.65 O d. None among the choices
