Two new machines for producing tires have been proposed by a worker in a manufacture. The manufacture believes there will be no difference in the strength of tires produced by these machines. To test this hypothesis, a sample of 9 tires produced by machine 1 and 7 tires produced by machine 2 were randomly selected. It is known from previous experience that the strength of a tire produced using machine 1 is a normal random variable with standard deviation equals to 3. And the strength of a tire produced using machine 2 is also a normal random variable with standard deviation equals to 4. use the following information to answer the following questions: Machine 1 Machine 2 6.5 1.0 6.7 2.5 5.8 3.2 4.9 3.1 5.3 4.5 4.0 5.7 3.1 1.5 5.7 4.3

A new thermostat has been engineered for the frozen food cases in large supermarkets. Both the old and new thermostats hold temperatures at an average of 25°F. However, it is hoped that the new thermostat might be more dependable in the sense that it will hold temperatures closer to 25°F. One frozen food case was equipped with the new thermostat, and a random sample of 26 temperature readings gave a sample variance of 4.2. Another similar frozen food case was equipped with the old thermostat, and a random sample of 19 temperature readings gave a sample variance of 12.2. Test the claim that the population variance of the old thermostat temperature readings is larger than that for the new thermostat. Use a 5% level of significance. How could your test conclusion relate to the question regarding the dependability of the temperature readings? (Let population 1 refer to data from the old thermostat.) (a) What is the level of significance?State the null and alternate hypotheses. H0: ?12 =…
Two components are being considered for use in building a system in your manufacturing plant. The lifetime of component 1 is modeled by a normal random variable with mean 20,000 hours and standard deviation of 5000 hours (ignore the fact the this model can technically give negative values for lifetime - that probability is practically zero). The lifetime of component 2 is also a normal random variable but with mean 22,000 hours and standard deviation 1000 hours. Which component has the highest probability of functioning for the life of the system if the target lifetime is 20,000 hours? What about a target lifetime of 24,000 hours?
Let a be a random variable representing the percentage of protein content for early bloom alfalfa hay. The average percentage protein content of such early bloom alfalfa should be u = 17.2%. A farmer's co-op is thinking of buying a large amount of baled hay but suspects that the hay is from a later summer cutting with lower protein content. A small amount of hay was removed from each bale of a random sample of 50 bales. The average protein content from the samples was determined by a local agricultural college to be -15.8% with a sample standard deviation of S = 5.3%- At a = .05, does this hay have lower average protein content than the early bloom alfalfa?
In the airline business, "on-time" flight arrival is important for connecting flights and general customer satisfaction. Is there a difference between summer and winter average on-time flight arrivals? Let x1 be a random variable that represents percentage of on-time arrivals at major airports in the summer. Let x2 be a random variable that represents percentage of on-time arrivals at major airports in the winter. A random sample of n1 = 16 major airports showed that x1 = 74.9%, with s1 = 5.3%. A random sample of n2 = 18 major airports showed that x2 = 70.2%, with s2 = 8.6%. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value a small amount and thereby produce a slightly more "conservative" answer. (a) Does this information indicate a difference (either way) in the population mean percentage of on-time arrivals for summer compared to winter? Use α = 0.05. (i) What is the…
A computer repair shop has two work centers. The first center examines the computer to see what is wrong and the second center repairs the computer. Let and be random variables representing the lengths of time in minutes to examine a computer () and to repair a computer (). Assume and are independent random variables. Long-term history has shown the following mean and standard deviation for the two work centers: Examine computer, : = 27.3 minutes; = 7.5 minutes Repair computer, : = 90.1 minutes; = 15.3 minutes Let be a random variable representing the total time to examine and repair the computer. Suppose it costs $1.80 per minute to examine the computer and $2.83 per minute to repair the computer. Then is a random variable representing the service charges (without parts). Compute the mean and standard deviation of V. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
A company produces bags of refined sugar. We are interested in testing the hypothesis that the average weight of the bags is 20 kg.

One common disease among pediatric patients is streptococcal pharyngitis (strep throat). If a pediatric patient comes in to the pediatricians feeling ill, there is a 26% chance that they have strep throat. A doctor sees 7 pediatric patients on a particular day (assume these patients are independent). Consider the random variable is a binomial random variable such that X = number of pediatric patients with strep throat. What is the expected number of pediatric patients with strep throat?

To evaluate the effect of a treatment, a sample is obtained from a population with a mean of =40, and the treatment is administered to the individuals in the sample. After treatment, the sample mean is found to be M = 44.5 with a variance of s² = 36. If the sample consists of n = 16 individuals, are the data sufficient to conclude that the treatment has a significant effect using a two-tailed test with a = .05? O For these data, t= 1.50. This value is less than the critical value of 2.131, so we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a significant treatment effect. O For these data, t = 3.00. This value is greater than the critical value of 2.131, so we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a significant treatment effect. O For these data, t = 4.50. This value is greater than the critical value of 2.131, so we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a significant treatment effect. O For these data, t = 1.50. This value is less than the…
A carpenter is making doors that are 2058 millimeters tall. If the doors are too long they must be trimmed, and if they are too short they cannot be used. A sample of 61 doors is made, and it is found that they have a mean of 2044 millimeters with a variance of 729. Is there evidence at the 0.05 level that the doors are either too long or too short? State the null and alternative hypotheses for the above scenario.
A psychologist has developed a standardized test for measuring vocabulary skill for 4 year old children. The scores on the test form a normal distribution with u = 70 and o = 20. A researcher would like to use the test to investigate the hypothesis that children who grow up as an only child develop vocabulary skills at a faster rate than children in larger families. A sample of n=25 only children is obtained and the mean test score for the sample is M = 77. Perform a two tailed hypothesis test, with an alpha level of .05, and add an APA summary.
A researcher decides to measure anxiety in group of bullies and a group of bystanders using a 23-item, 3 point anxiety scale. Assume scores on the anxiety scales are normally distributed and the variance among the group of bullies and bystanders are the same. A group of 30 bullies scores an average of 21.5 with a sample standard deviation of 10 on the anxiety scale. A group of 27 bystanders scored an average of 25.8 with a sample standard deviation of 8 on the anxiety scale. You do not have any presupposed assumptions whether bullies or bystanders will be more anxious so you formulate the null and alternative hypothesis based on that.
