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. As in hypothesis testing, there are four possible outcomes of your decision: (1) You select the passenger for further inspection when the passenger has a weapon, (2) you allow the passenger to board her flight when the passenger has a weapon, (3) you select the passenger for further inspection when…

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?

- 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.

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?

- 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.
