Based on a recent study, the pH level of the arterial cord (one vessel in the umbilical cord) is normally distributed with mean 7.27and standard deviation of 0.11. Find the percentage of preterm infants who have the following arterial cord pH levels. a. pH levels between 7.00 and 7.50. b. pH levels over 7.35. a. The percentage of arterial cord pH levels that are between 7.00and 7.50 is __________%. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) b. The percentage of arterial cord pH levels that are over 7.35 is _______%. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Three industrial engineers were assigned to monitor a certain process using X-control chart with n=9, and K=2. The in-control process mean and standard deviation are 14 and 6, respectively. The probability of having one point below the LCL equals 0.001350. Help in answering the following questions: A- Estimate the ARL. B- Estimate the ATS. C- What is the amount of shift per unit of standard deviation?
Concrete cubes are used to test the quality of mix from a concrete mixing plant. 28 day compressive strength is taken as the standard measure to test the quality of the mix. Tests show that mean compressive strength of a sample of cubes is 28.4 units with a standard deviation of 2.95 units. To assure quality, the mixing company requires that at least 95% of the samples have compressive strength greater than 24 units. Based on this information and assuming a large sample size, answer the following questions. After major improvements on the plant, the mixing company is able to make cubes more consistent (reduce SD of compressive strength but maintain the same mean). For what value of the new SD will be cube standards be just met? Based on the requirements, only about___% of the samples meet the company standards.?
A metropolitan transportation authority has set a bus mechanical reliability goal of 3,700 bus miles. Bus mechanical reliability is measured specifically as the number of bus miles between mechanical road calls. Suppose a sample of 100 buses resulted in a sample mean of 3,750 bus miles and a sample standard deviation of 175 bus miles. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. Identify the critical value(s). Determine the test statistic. State the conclusion. Determine the p-value and interpret its meaning
In an automobile repair and service industry, the average number of defective items in all the lots of automobile parts produced by a machine last week was 8. The supervisor believes that the mean number of defective parts produced by the same machine will differ in the present week. To test whether the average differs from 8, he samples 30 lots to obtain the mean number of defective parts to be 9 with a standard deviation of 3.Using the critical value approach, identify the decision at the 5% level of significance. Group of answer choices The decision is not to reject H0 because the test statistic does not fall in the rejection region (-∞,-1.960] U [1.960, ∞). The decision is to reject H0 because the test statistic falls in the rejection region (-∞,-1.645].

The mean length of steel bolts from a manufacturing process is advertised as 15.1 mm. An inspector believes that this value is not correct. To investigate the inspector's claim, the lengths of a random sample of size 280 bolts are measured and found to have a sample mean of 15.6 mm. We will assume that the population of bolt lengths is normally distributed with standard deviation of 5.0 mm. Test whether the mean population length has changed at a level of significance of 10%. Show your relevant steps below. Step 1: Hypotheses: • The null hypothesis Ho is (choose one): = 5.0 u = u = 15.1 OH = 15.6 u = 280.0 • For the alternative hypothesis H. we change the equal sign in Ho to (choose one): Step 2: Rejection Region: The rejection region is bounded by the following critical values: Critical z value(s) =
In a study of microplastics in our environment, it was determined that there are 5.25 trillion plastic pieces floating in the ocean, weighing more than 250,000 tons. In a recent expedition to examine whether increases in plastic production have led to changes in ocean microplastics, 16 samples were taken at various locations in the Pacific Ocean. It was determined that the average concentration was 9.5 particles per liter of ocean water with a sample standard deviation of 6. In one of the earliest research expeditions to study microplastics in the ocean conducted in 2009, it was determined that the average concentration of microplastics was 6 particles per liter (consider this the population or reference mean). What is the critical value for the two-tailed alternative hypothesis at alpha = 5%? (Hint: This is the value in the table that you will compare your test statistic to in order to determine the outcome of the hypothesis test). 2.131 1.746 2.120 1.753
The population standard deviation of strengths of steel bars produced by a large manufacturer is 2.95. To meet tighter specifications engineers are trying to reduce the variability of the process. A sample of 28 bars gives a sample standard deviation of 2.65. Assume that the strengths of steel bars are normally distributed. Is there evidence at the 5% level of significance that the standard deviation has decreased?

A major car manufacturer wants to test a new catalytic converter to determine whether it meets new air population standards. The mean emission of all converter of this type must be less than 20 parts per million of carbon. 10 converters are manufactured for testing purpose and their emission levels are measured with a mean of 17.17 and a standard deviation of 2.98. Calculate the appropriate test statistic to test the hypotheses.
The current machine for completing a specific operation in a manufacturing facility has a known average cycle time of 12.45 minutes. An engineer has identified a potential replacement machine from which 150 samples are taken. These 150 samples have an average cycle time of 10.32 minutes with a standard deviation of 5.14 minutes. The engineer must provide statistical evidence of whether the machine works at a five percent level of significance to management. What analysis would you complete to answer this question?
