very day in the summer months a supermarket receives a shipment of peaches. The supermarket’s quality inspector arranges to have one box randomly selected from each shipment for which the number of “spoiled” peaches (out of 48 peaches in the box), which cannot be put out on the supermarket shelves, is recorded. DS 6.1.5 shows the data set obtained after 55 days. Define the population from which the sample is taken. Do you think that it is a representative sample?

A consumer magazine wants to compare the lifetimes of ballpoint pens of three different types. The magazine takes a random sample of pens of each type in the following table. Brand 1 Brand 2 Brand 3 260 181 238 218 240 257 184 162 241 219 218 213 Do the data indicate that there is a difference in a mean lifetime for the three brands of ballpoint pens? Use α = 0.01. Which pairs are significant? Present boxplots to support each conclusion.

An automobile dealer conducted a test to determine if the time in minutes needed to complete a minor engine tune-up depends on whether a computerized engine analyzer or an electronic analyzer is used. Because tune-up time varies among compact, intermediate, and full-sized cars, the three types of cars were used as blocks in the experiment. The data obtained follow. Analyzer Computerized Electronic Car Compact 51 42 Intermediate 55 43 Full-sized 62 47 Use ? = 0.05 to test for any significant differences. State the null and alternative hypotheses.

A researcher uses an anonymous survey to track the number of salmon caught in Gaspe. Based on a set of 115 surveys distributed to a select few of the many hundreds of anglers who fished Gaspe, it was determined that anglers caught an average of 2.3 salmon per week. For this study, the average of 2.3 salmon per week is an example of which one statistic parameter. population sample
A community may be considered sociologically healthier the more variability there is in its housing values (up to a point). A major newspaper in one city investigated housing costs in several communities in its area and is running a story on its findings. For one of the communities, a random sample of 60 houses was examined, and the current market price of each house was determined. The newspaper published the following histogram summarizing these 60 prices. 20 15 10 5 0 Frequency 12 16 20 8 4 80 120 160 200 240 280 Current market price (in thousands of dollars) Based on this histogram, estimate the standard deviation of the sample of 60 prices. Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places, and round your answer to at least one decimal place.

Julius has conducted a very small study of the amount of sleep his dorm mates get each night. He believes that those who are on one of the school’s sports teams will get more sleep (measured in hours per night) than those who are not. Julius surveyed 12 people. Of these, 6 played on a sports team and 6 did not. The descriptive statistics from his survey are given below.
