Production managers on an assembly line must monitor the output to be sure that the level of defective products remains small. They periodically inspect a random sample of the items produced. If they find a significant increase in the proportion of items that must be rejected, they will halt the assembly process until the problem can be identified and repaired.
State the hypotheses:
In this context, what is a type I error? What is a consequence of this error?
In this context, what is a type II error? What is a consequence of this error?
Which type of error would the factory owner consider more serious?
Which type of error might customers consider more serious?
Call centers typically have high turnover. The director of human resources for a large bank has compiled data on about 70 former employees at one of the bank's call centers. The accompanying table shows this data. In writing an article about call center working conditions, a
reporter has claimed that the average tenure is more than two years. Formulate and test a hypothesis using these data to determine if this claim can be disputed. Use a level of significance of 0.05.

- SECTION 10.1arrow_forwardTwinned drill holes. A traditional method of verifying mineralization grades in mining is to drill twinned holes, i.e., the drilling of a new hole, or “twin," next to an ear- lier drill hole. The use of twinned drill holes was investi- gated in Exploration and Mining Geology (Vol. 18, 2009). Geologists use data collected at both holes to estimate the total amount of heavy minerals (THM) present at the drilling site. The data in the following table (based on information provided in the journal article) represent THM percentages for a sample of 15 twinned holes drilled at a diamond mine in Africa. The geologists want to know if there is any evidence of a difference in the true THM means of all original holes and their twin holes drilled at the mine. a. Explain why the data should be analyzed as paired differences. b. Compute the difference between the “Ist Hole" and "2nd Hole" measurements for each drilling location. c. Find the mean and standard deviation of the differ- ences, part b.arrow_forwardThe minister of environment in a certain country decided to investigate whether expansion of a aluminum plant in that country would affect fluoride pollution in it's environment. The productions occurred the years 2005 and 2006. One of the things measured was the amount of fluoride in lamb jaws. The data available are measurements of fluoride in the jaws of 8 lambs that were slaughtered in the year 2004 and 8 lambs that were slaughtered in the year 2007. The data is shown below, along with a R output that can simplify your calculations.

- Tardigrades, or water bears, are a type of micro-animal famous for their resilience. In examining the effects of radiation on organisms, an expert claimed that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades no longer has a mean of 1150 Gy (grays). (For comparison, humans cannot withstand more than 10 Gy.) A random sample of 25 tardigrade colonies found that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony had a sample mean of 1133 Gy, with a sample standard deviation of 62 Gy. Assume that the population of amounts of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades is approximately normally distributed. Complete the parts below to perform a hypothesis test to see if there is enough evidence, at the 0.05 level of significance, to support that u, the mean amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades, is not equal to 1150 Gy.

- ab Tardigrades, or water bears, are a type of micro-animal famous for their resilience. In examining the effects of radiation on organisms, an expert claimed that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades no longer has a mean of 1250 Gy (grays). (For comparison, humans cannot withstand more than 10 Gy.) A random sample of 26 tardigrade colonies found that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony had a sample mean of 1239 Gy, with a sample standard deviation of 45 Gy. Assume that the population of amounts of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades is approximately normally distributed.

In a sample size of 30 students, 15 were observed to have a widow's peak and 15 did not have a widow's peak. The expected frequency of a widow's peak is 75% chance of getting it and a 25% chance of not getting it. Perform a chi square analysis to see if the data above agrees with the predicted outcome.arrow_forwardTo protect against earthquake damage, steel beams are typically fitted and connected with plastic hinges. However, these plastic hinges are prone to deformations and are difficult to inspect and repair. An alternative method of connecting steel beams-one that uses high-strength steel bars with clamps-was investigated. Mathematical models for predicting the performance of these steel connecting bars assume the bars have a mean yield strength of 300 megapascals (MPa). To verify this assumption, the researchers conducted material property tests on the steel connecting bars. In a sample of three tests, the yield strengths were 357, 371, and 361 MPa. Do the data indicate that the true mean yield strength of the steel bars exceeds 300 MPa? Test using a = 0.01. Click the icon to view the Student t-distribution table.

Do the accompanying data indicate strongly that the mean fluoride concentration for livestock grazing in the polluted region is larger than that for livestock grazing in the unpolluted region? Assume that the distributions of urinary fluoride concentration for both grazing areas have the same shape and spread. Use a significance level of 0.05.
