Yvon Hopps ran an experiment to determine the optimum power and time settings for microwave popcorn. His goal was
to find a combination of power and time that would deliver high-quality popcorn with less than 9% of the kernels left
un-popped, on average. After experimenting with several bags, he determined that power 9 at 4 minutes was the best
combination. To be sure that the method was successful, he popped 8 more bags of popcorn (selected at random) at
this setting. All were of high quality, with the following percentages of uncooked popcorn: 8.4, 11.4, 8.7, 8.3, 4.6, 2.4,
3.2, 5.6. Does the 95% confidence interval suggest that he met his goal of an average of no more than 9%
uncooked kernels? Explain.
The 95% confidence interval for the true mean percentage of unpopped kernels is (%,%).

An experimenter wants to study the relationship between type of milk and infant growth in underdeveloped countries. She randomly assigns 300 infants to either a breast-feeding group or an infant formula group. She then weighs the infants every three days for the first four weeks of life.

Why does this make sense?arrow_forwardYou are observing the speeds of two CPUs, to find which one is expected to run faster. After a number of observations, you came up with the following results: CPU Speed Measurements 37 38 40 35 30 31 26 25 Number of Observations 18 15 CPU 1 CPU 2 10 10 10 5 0 2.0-24 2.5-2.9 3.5 - 3.9 4.0 - 4.5 3.0-3.4 Speed (GHz) A. Using this data, calculate the expected speed of each processor, and determine which of the two is faster. (Hint: when given a range of speeds, you can consider the average value within that range to be the speed at which the observations occurred).arrow_forwardCPUS made of two different materials are tested to see how they effect the processor speed of a computer. Specifically, material 1 is currently in use, but material 2 is acceptable. Since material 2 is cheaper, it should be adopted, providing it does not change the process yield.
