Chapter 16.4, Problem 21E
On each of the previous 25 days, 100 electronic devices of a certain type were randomly selected and subjected to a severe heat stress test. The total number of items that failed to pass the test was 578.
a. Determine control limits for a 3-sigma p chart.
b. The highest number of failed items on a given day was 39, and the lowest number was 13. Does either of these correspond to an out-of-control point? Explain.

Suppose that you want to put fat Fido on a
weight-loss program. Before the program,
his weight had a standard score of +2 com-
pared to dogs of his breed/age, and after
the program, his weight has a standard
score of -2. His weight before the program
was 150 pounds, and the standard deviation
for the breed is 5 pounds.
a. What's the mean weight for Fido's breed/
age?
b. What's his weight after the weight-loss
program?
Weights have a normal distribution with a
mean of 100 and standard deviation of 10.
What weight has 60 percent of the values
lying below it?
The times it takes to complete a statistics
exam have a normal distribution with a
mean of 40 minutes and standard deviation
of 6 minutes. Deshawn's time falls at the
42nd percentile. How long does Deshawn
take to finish her exam?

- A marketing professor has surveyed the students at her university to better understand attitudes towards PPT usage for higher education. To be able to make inferences to the entire student body, the sample drawn needs to represent the university’s student population on all key characteristics. The table below shows the five key student demographic variables. The professor found the breakdown of the overall student body in the university’s fact book posted online. A non-parametric chi-square test was used to test the sample demographics against the population percentages shown in the table above. Review the output for the five chi-square tests on the following pages and answer the five questions: Based on the chi-square test, which sample variables adequately represent the university’s student population and which ones do not? Support your answer by providing the p-value of the chi-square test and explaining what it means.

To test this, a one-shot static group design experiment was conducted over a four-week period in 100 different stores. Fifty stores were randomly assigned to the control treatment (standard display) and the other 50 stores were randomly assigned to the experimental treatment (digital display). Compare the sales of the control group (standard POP) to the experimental group (digital POP). What were the average sales for the standard POP display (control group)? What were the sales for the digital display (experimental group)? What is the (mean) difference in sales between the experimental group and control group? List the null hypothesis being tested.
