Do social robots walk or roll? Refer to the International Conference on Social Robotics (Vol. 6414, 201 0) study of the trend in the design of social robots, Exercise 2.5 (p. 48). The researchers obtained a random sample of 106 social robots through a Web search and determined the number that were designed with legs, but no wheels. Let
- a. Give the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of
- b. Describe the shape of the sampling distribution of
- c. Find
- d. Recall that the researchers found that 63 of the 106 robots were built with legs only. Does this result cast doubt on the assumption that 40% of all social robots are designed with legs, but no wheels? Explain.

According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) sponsored by the U.S. government, a random sample of 712 males between 20 and 29 years of age and a random sample of 1,001 males over the age of 75 were chosen and the weight of each of the males were recorded (in kg). Do the data provide evidence that the younger male population weighs more (on average) than the older male population? Use “Y” for ages 20-29 and “S” for ages 75+. It was found that x̅Y=83.4, sY=18.7, x̅S=78.5, and sS=19.0.

Courtney and Lexi wondered if the distribution of color was the same for name-brand gummy bears (Haribo Gold) and store-
brand gummy bears (Great Value). To investigate, they randomly selected 6 bags of each type and counted the number of
gummy bears of each color. The data are presented in the table.
Courtney and Lexi use a chi-square test for homogeneity to assess differences between the gummy bear brands. Do these data
provide convincing evidence that the distributions of color differ for name-brand gummy bears and store-brand gummy bears
at the a = 0.05 level?

From the study on work sampling, it was found that a group of machines - consisting of 4 machines - were operated by operators, it was noted that 65% of machines could be operated without the need for operators to attend and 35% of operators would be present to carry out loading / unloading, maintenance activities , and / or other machine service activities. Furthermore, what is the estimated machine hours that will be lost per 8 hours of work due to "scarcity" of operators?

- A bank with a branch located in a commercial district of a city has the business objective of developing an improved process for serving customers during the noon-to-1 p.m. lunch period. Management decides to first study the waiting time in the current process. The waiting time is defined as the number of minutes that elapses from when the customer enters the line until he or she reaches the teller window. Data are collected from a random sample of 15 customers and stored in Bank1 .

A high school is remodeling their classrooms and the administrator has to decide how many left-handed desks to buy. A left-handed desk costs slightly more than a right-handed desk, but it is easier for a left-handed student to complete assignments in the proper desk. To test the proportion of left-handed students at the school, the administrator will take a random sample of 150 students. A significance test will be performed using the following hypotheses at the 5% significance level: Но: р 3D 0.1 where p is the true proportion of left-handed students at the high school.

The financial analysts collect data of the cost associated with compliance of the economy's customs regulations to export a shipment in 10 countries (in US$) selected from each of 4 regions. They would like to investigate whether the average costs of exporting differ across the four regions. To do so, they first conduct a Levene's test for the homogeneity of the variances across the 4 regions at the 5% level using the absolute deviations from the median.
