Textbook Question
Chapter 10.5, Problem 23MS
Barely consistent. It is possible for Chris to prefer the West piece if the cake is cut from the point marked W and the East piece if the cake is cut from the point marked E, even though the West piece is actually larger when cut from the point Ethanitis when cut from the point W. Suppose each pail of the cake has a value measured by the number written on the accompanying figure. What value could Chris view the shaded part of the cake as having in order to make the preference of East when the cake is cut from E consistent with the choice of West if the cake is cutfromW?

One estimate of the proportion of children with autism in the United States is 1 in 100 (Source: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/10/05/health/main5363192.shtml). Suppose you are interested in the rate of autism among current school-aged children in Utah. You collect a sample of 400 children between the ages of 5 and 18 and find that three have had a previous diagnosis of an autism disorder. You plan to calculate a 95% confidence interval estimator of the proportion of school-aged children in Utah who have ever had a diagnosis of an autism disorder.
Which of the following is the most likely reason you would use a Wilson estimator to calculate the confidence interval estimator?
It is uncomfortable to define having been diagnosed with autism as a success.
It is possible that if even the actual proportion in Utah is 1%, your sample may only have very few children who have had a previous diagnosis of an autism disorder.
It is an easier way to calculate the confidence…
In an experiment to compare the tensile strengths of I = 6 different types of copper wire, J = 5 samples of each type were used. The between-samples and within-samples estimates of σ² were computed as MSTr = 2623.3
and MSE = 1193.2, respectively. Use the F test at level 0.05 to test Ho: μ₁ = M2 μ6 versus Ha: at least two μ's are unequal.

- very time you conduct a hypothesis test, there are four possible outcomes of your decision to reject or not reject the null hypothesis: (1) You don’t reject the null hypothesis when it is true, (2) you reject the null hypothesis when it is true, (3) you don’t reject the null hypothesis when it is false, and (4) you reject the null hypothesis when it is false. Consider the following analogy: You are an airport security screener. For every passenger who passes through your security checkpoint, you must decide whether to select the passenger for further screening based on your assessment of whether he or she is carrying a weapon. Suppose your null hypothesis is that the passenger has a weapon.
