Two methods of filling cereal boxes are being compared. Both methods fill the box with the same amount of cereal on average so the company wants to select the method with the lower variance. In a sample of 31 boxes filled using method 1, the standard deviation of fill weights is .75 ounces and in a sample of 41 boxes filled using method 2, the standard deviation is .65 ounces. At the 5% level of significance, does it appear that the variance of method 1 is significantly larger than the variance of method 2?
The university data center has two main computers. The center wants to examine whether computer 1 is receiving tasks that require processing times comparable to those of computer 2 . A random sample of 12 processing times from computer 1 showed a mean of 69 seconds with a standard deviation of 19 seconds, while a random sample of 15 processing times from computer 2 (chosen independently of those for computer 1 ) showed a mean of 59 seconds with a standard deviation of 17 seconds. Assume that the populations of processing times are normally distributed for each of the two computers and that the variances are equal. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference −μ1μ2 between the mean processing time of computer 1 , μ1 , and the mean processing time of computer 2 , μ2 . Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your responses to at least…

Two catalysts may be used in a batch chemical process. Twelve batches were prepared using catalyst 1, resulting in an average yield of 85 and a sample standard deviation of 3. Fifteen batches were prepared using catalyst 2, and they resulted in an average yield of 89 with a standard deviation of 2. Assume that yield measurements are approximately normally distributed with the same standard deviation. (a) Is there evidence to support the claim that catalyst 2 produces higher mean yield than catalyst 1? Use a = 0.01. (b) Find a 99% confidence interval on the difference in mean yields that can be used to test the claim in part (a). Round your answer to two decimal places (e.g. 98.76). M1 - M2 < i
The university data center has two main computers. The center wants to examine whether computer 1 is receiving tasks that require processing times comparable to those of computer 2. A random sample of 12 processing times from computer 1 showed a mean of 67 seconds with a standard deviation of 20 seconds, while a random sample of 11 processing times from computer 2 (chosen independently of those for computer 1) showed a mean of 70 seconds with a standard deviation of 16 seconds. Assume that the populations of processing times are normally distributed for each of the two computers and that the variances are equal.

A random sample of people who tried 3 types of diet is collectedto determin if mean weight loss differs across diet types. Perform inference at significance level 0.05. If it is needed, perform inference taking age as a covariate.

A manufacturer of office machines is considering the production of a new word processor. The decision to start large-scale production of the new machines will be based on the comparison of the mean operating speed using the standard machines (µx) and the mean operating speed using the new machines (µy). Since operators of the machine have varying abilities, a random sample of 20 typists was selected and the speed of each typist in the sample was observed once using the new word processor and once using the standard word processor. The collected data on the speed (in minutes) are as follows: Typist (i) Standard Processor (Xi) 1 2 3 4 5 6. 8 10 60.2 58.7 59.4 60.3 61.7 60.2 64.1 63.2 62.4 57.8 New Processor (Yi) 57.2 57.4 56.4 58.5 60.1 61.4 61.9 60.4 60 56.8 Typist (i) Standard Processor (Xi) 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 55.4 61.2 64.7 64.1 62.9 65.8 69.3 56.4 58.5 63.7 New Processor (Yi) 50.2 58.4 63.5 60.5 62.2 66.3 68.5 56.6 58.3 60.2 Assuming normality, compute a 95% confidence…
A study was conducted to compare to brands of milk. Random sample A of 25 packs of milk with a mean content of 237 grams and standard deviation of 8.56 grams. Another sample B of 20 packs of milk showed a mean content of 240 grams and standard deviation of 9.75 grams. Using 0.05 level of significance will we agree that sample A exceeds that of sample B by 2 grams nutrient content, conduct hypothesis testing assuming that variances are equal.
Suppose that you want to compare the means of several treatments in a randomized block ANOVA. If given the choice between using the randomized block ANOVA test and the Friedman test, which one would you choose if outliers occur in the sample data? Explain your answer.
Are juvenile defendants who are released pending adjudication processed more slowly than those who are detained? The JDCC data set records whether a juvenile was released and the number of months it took for that juvenile’s case to reach a disposition. The sample will be narrowed to black female youth. Released juveniles (Sample 1) had a mean of 4.30 months to disposition (s = 3.86, N = 123) and detained juveniles (Sample 2) had a mean of 3.57 (s = 4.20, N = 64). Using an alpha level of .01, test the hypothesis that released juveniles’ mean time-to-adjudication is significantly greater than detained juveniles’ mean. Assume equal population variances. Use all five steps.
