8.64 Radon exposure in Egyptian tombs. Refer to the
D Radiation Protection Dosimetry (Dec. 2010) study
TOMBS of radon exposure in Egyptian tombs, Exercise 7.39
(p. 334). The radon levels-measured in becquerels per
cubic meter (Bq/m³)-in the inner chambers of a sam-
ple of 12 tombs are listed in the table. For the safety of
the guards and visitors, the Egypt Tourism Authority
(ETA) will temporarily close the tombs if the true mean
level of radon exposure in the tombs rises to 6,000 Bq/m³.
Consequently, the ETA wants to conduct a test to deter-
mine if the true mean level of radon exposure in the tombs
is less than 6,000 Bq/m³, using a Type I error probabil-
ity of .10. A SAS analysis of the data is shown on p. 399.
Specify all the elements of the test: Ho, Ha, test statistic,
p-value, a, and your conclusion.

- 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…arrow_forwardProblem 2-6.

- 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…arrow_forwardEKS C ALEKS - Kim Johnson - Ch 6S × 4 www-awy.aleks.com alekscgi/x/sl.exe/16_u-lgNs/kr7j8FB)--BjuvZG weRMign 4tCy83MpSgONH0-ovaPm-Zym e Chrome isn't your default browser Set as default Ch 6 Sec 4 Homework Question 4 of 4 (1 point) | Question Attempt: 2 of Unlimited ✓ 2 ✓ 3 = 4 Stress at work: In a poll conducted by the General Social Survey, 81% of respondents said that their jobs were sometimes or always stressful.

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?
