The article “Performance Test Conducted for a Gas Air-Conditioning System” (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineering [1969]: 54) reported the following data on maximum outdoor temperature (x) and hours of chiller operation per day (y) for a 3-ton residential gas air-conditioning system:
Suppose that the system is actually a prototype model, and the manufacturer does not wish to produce this model unless the data strongly indicate that when maximum outdoor temperature is 82°F. The true average number of hours of chiller operation is less than 12. The appropriate hypotheses are then
H0: α + β(82) = 12 versus Ha: α + β(82) < 12
Use the statistic
which has a t distribution based on (n – 2) df when H0 is true, to test the hypotheses at significance level 0.01.

A sample of 500 individuals were asked whether they had downloaded music illegally (theft). In addition, respondents also gave answers to the following; caught: a respondent's belief of her chances of getting caught if she attempted to act illegally (0-10, 10 being "great risk") penalty: a respondent's belief regarding how severe her penalty would be if she got caught (0-10, 10 being “great risk) gender: gender, where male is 1 and female is 0 Edu: years of formal education Income: Income of the respondent (£) a.

- 1. An article in the ASCE Journal of Energy Engineering (1999, Vol. 125, pp. 59-75) describes a study of the thermal inertia properties of autoclaved aerated concrete used as a building material. Five samples of the material were tested in a structure, and the average interior temperatures (•C) reported were as follows: 23.01, 22.22, 22.04, 22.62, and 22.59. 1.1. Test the hypotheses H0 : µ =22.5 versus H1 :µ + 22.5, using a=0.05. Find the P-value 1.2. Explain how the question could be answered by constructing a two-sided confidence interval on the mean interior temperature. Find the confidence interval.arrow_forwardThe following TI-84 Plus display presents some population parameters. x = 158 Ex=2680 Ex=359,620 1-Var-Stats Sx 6.066300355 ox=6 ↓n=20 Part: 0/3 Part 1 of 3 (a) Assume the population is bell-shaped.

- Consider the following variables: Y=daily productivity score (measured in points) X1=0 if undergraduate student,1 if graduate student X2=hours of sleep per night 1. The plot shown below could possibly be the graph of which model? 2. If you want to test whether type of student modifies the association between hours of sleep per night and daily productivity score, which model should you consider and what is the null hypothesis for this test? 3. Suppose you use Model 5 to describe the relationship between type of student, hours of sleep per night, and daily productivity score. You use the method of least squares to obtain: Y = -0.5 + 3 (X1) + 1.5 (X2) + 2.5 (X1)(X2).arrow_forwardJ 2arrow_forwardA pilot study was performed to investigate the effect of temperature, x (in degree Fahrenheit) on the electrical power consumed, y (in Watt) by an automotive factory.
