Chapter 10, Problem 57P
Use the following information to answer the next twelve exercises. In the recent Census, three percent of the U.S. population reported being of two or more races. However, the percent varies tremendously from state to state. Suppose that two random surveys are conducted. In the first random survey, out of 1,000 North Dakotans, only nine people reported being of two or more races. In the second random survey, out of 500 Nevadans, 17 people reported being of two or more races. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the population percents are the same for the two states or if the percent for Nevada is statistically higher than for North Dakota.
Explain why you chose the distribution you did for the Exercise 10.56.

Stress at work: In a poll conducted by the General Social Survey, 81% of respondents said that their jobs were sometimes or always stressful. Two hundred
workers are chosen at random. Use the TI-84 Plus calculator as needed. Round your answer to at least four decimal places.
(a) Approximate the probability that 155 or fewer workers find their jobs stressful.
(b) Approximate the probability that more than 145 workers find their jobs stressful.
(c) Approximate the probability that the number of workers who find their jobs stressful is between 154 and 172 inclusive.

Conduct the hypothesis test and provide the test statistic and the critical value, and state the conclusion.
A person drilled a hole in a die and filled it with a lead weight, then proceeded to roll it 200 times. Here are the observed frequencies for the outcomes of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, respectively: 28, 32, 46, 39, 29, 26. Use a 0.025 significance level to test the
claim that the outcomes are not equally likely. Does it appear that the loaded die behaves differently than a fair die?

- The online clothing retailer e-Parel is conducting a study to estimate the average size of the orders placed by visitors to its website. The project manager desires a $60 bound on the error of estimation at 90% confidence. The population standard deviation is unknown, and a “best guess” of $175 is used as the planning value for σ. Use the Distributions tool to help you answer the questions that follow. 0123 Select a Distribution The z-value for a 90% confidence interval of the population mean is .

The manager wants to estimate the number of defective HDMI cables in the shipment. Rather than checking every HDMI cable, the manager plans to take a simple random sample of size 62 in order to estimate the proportion of defective HDMI cables in the shipment. If the sample proportion of defective HDMI cables, p̂p̂, is greater than 0.0323 (there are more than two defective HDMI cables in the sample), the manager will file a complaint and request a new shipment. Suppose that the true proportion of defective HDMI cables in the shipment is approximately p = 0.02. What is the expected value of the sample proportion?

If the battery fails after 39 months but within 50 months, the manufacturer provides a prorated credit toward the purchase of a new battery. The manufacturer assumes that X, the lifetime of its auto batteries, is normally distributed with a mean of 44 months and a standard deviation of 3.6 months. Use the following Distributions tool to help you answer the questions that follow.

- In regards to conducting a linear contrast after a one-way ANOVA, can you explain how seemingly arbitrary weights that "emphasize or de-emphasize" certain variables in a linear combination and sum to zero are able to provide information about how certain groups differ from each other? For example, if we havethree groups A, B, and C, and we want tocompare the mean of group A with theaverage of groups B and C, the weights inthis case are 1 for group A, and -0.5 for groupsB and C, which sum to zero. But how do these numbers model the relationship of comparing one group to the average of the other two?

- WHAT IS THE CORRECT ANSWER AND WHY?arrow_forwardA common way for two people to settle a frivolous dispute is to play a game of rock-paper-scissors. In this game, each person simultaneously displays a hand signal to indicate a rock, a piece of paper, or a pair of scissors. Rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, and paper beats rock. If both players select the same hand signal, the game results in a tie. Two roommates, roommate A and roommate B, are expecting company and are arguing over who should have to wash the dishes before the company arrives. Roommate A suggests a game of rock-paper-scissors to settle the dispute. Consider the game of rock-paper-scissors to be an experiment. In the long run, roommate A chooses rock 21% of the time, and roommate B chooses rock 61% of the time; roommate A selects paper 39% of the time, and roommate B selects paper 21% of the time; roommate A chooses scissors 40% of the time, and roommate B chooses scissors 18% of the time.
