Textbook Question
Chapter 8.1, Problem 10E
A regular type of laminate is currently being used by a manufacturer of circuit boards. A special laminate has been developed to reduce warpage. The regular laminate will be used on one sample of specimens and the special laminate on another sample, and the amount of warpage will then be determined for each specimen. The manufacturer will then switch to the special laminate only if it can be demonstrated that the true average amount of warpage for that laminate is less than for the regular laminate. State the relevant hypotheses, and describe the type I and type II errors in the context of this situation.

Arsenic is a chemical element that occurs in many minerals, usually in conjunction with sulfur and metals, and also as a pure elemental crystal. The main use of metallic arsenic is for strengthening alloys of copper and lead. Unfortunately, arsenic occurs in some ground water. In large quantities it is toxic for multicellular life. A mean arsenic level of 8 particles per billion (ppb) is considered safe for agricultural use. A well in Texas is used to water cotton crops. This well is tested regularly for arsenic. A random sample 37 tests gave a sample mean of 7.2 ppb arsenic with standard deviation of 1.9 ppb. Assume that arsenic levels are normally distributed. We are to use the sample data and test if mean arsenic level in the well in question is less than 8 ppb.
a. Test statistic isb. The ? − value of the test isc. At the significance level calculated in part c), we conclude that mean arsenic level in thewell is

- ABC Cookie Company takes samples of finished boxes of cookies weighing them to make sure the weight filled stays within the targeted amount. Some variation of course, is to be expected. But too much presents a production issue. Your job is to find out if this process is stable enough to continue. Samples are taken for 20 days. The number of boxes checked each day is 100.

Show the completehypothesis-testing procedure.A manufacturing company produces bearings. One line of bearings is specified to be 1.64 centimeters (cm) in diameter. A major customer requires that the variance of the bearings be no more than 0.001 cm2. The producer is required to test the bearings before they are shipped, and so the diameters of 16 bearings are measured with a precise instrument, resulting in the following values:1.69 1.62 1.63 1.70 1.66 1.63 1.65 1.71 1.64 1.69 1.57 1.64 1.59 1.66 1.63 1.65Assume bearing diameters are normally distributed. Use the data and α = 0.025 to test the data to determine whether the population of these bearings is to be rejected because of too high variance.arrow_forwardA manufacturing company would like to investigate the effect of a new supplier of raw material to their product. The company makes 4,000 of these items each day and the new supplier is much less expensive than their current supplier. If the rate of defects remains unchanged with the new material, they will use the new material. For their analysis, they take a cluster sample of 500 items made from the new supplier's material. The company knows their supplied product has a defect rate of 6.5%. Regardless of whether the conditions are met: What is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution? Report 4 decimals.

We want to know if this average has changed in the past 15 years. In other words, we are going to do a study in which we try to determine whether there has been an impact of the passage of time on the amount of time college students spend studying. We selected a sample of n = 64 of today’s college students and find that they spent an average of M = 12.5 hours per week studying. Does this sample indicate a significant change in the number of hours spent studying? Use a two-tailed test (this means non-directional hypothesis) with α = .05.arrow_forwardWorkers in the office like to drink coffee during work. A doctor is concerned about this situation since the too much coffee consumption may result to long-term health problems. However, studies suggests that there is no risk in drinking three cups of coffee per day, which is about 250 mg of caffeine. The doctor wants to know if the amount of caffeine consumed by the workers is within tolerable limits. He randomly selected 20 students and found that they consume an average of 270 mg of caffeine each day with a standard deviation of 48 mg. Assume that the daily amount of caffeine consumed by students follow the normal distribution.1. Which of the following sets of hypotheses should be used in this study? A.

- How heavy a load (pounds) is needed to pull apart pieces of Douglas fir 4 inches long and 1.5 inches square? Students doing a laboratory exercise sample 20 pieces of wood and find an average load capacity of 30,841 pounds. We are willing to regard the wood pieces prepared for the lab session as an SRS of all similar pieces of Douglas fir. Engineers also commonly assume the characteristics of materials vary normally. Suppose that the strength of pieces of wood like these follow a normal distribution with a population standard deviation of 3,000 pounds (As you can see all three necessary assumptions are met). a. Assuming that all evergreen wood has a known "load" capacity average of 30,000 pounds.
