An automobile battery manufacturer offers a 39/50 warranty on its batteries. The first number in the warranty code is the free-replacement period; the second number is the prorated-credit period. Under this warranty, if a battery fails within 39 months of purchase, the manufacturer replaces the battery at no charge to the consumer. 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. (Hint: When you adjust the parameters of a distribution, you must reposition the vertical line (or lines) for the correct areas to be displayed.)

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? Does it have to do with how the math is carried out, such as how the test statistic is created?
Can you simply and intuitively explain the purpose of a contrast to the treatment sum of squares? For example, do orthogonal contrasts partition the treatment sum of squares into additive components that represent the variation due to each contrast? If so, what would be the purpose of this?

- please solve this problem step by step and make it quick pleasearrow_forwardWHAT 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.
