This magazine once included an article that asked, “How many chocolate chips are there in a bag of Chips Ahoy cookies?” (Warner & Rutledge, 1999). Nabisco, the makers of these cookies, claims there are 1,000 chocolate chips in each 18-ounce bag of cookies. The authors tested this claim by obtaining forty-two 18-ounce bag of cookies, dissolving the cookies in water to separate the chocolate chips from the dough, and counting the number of chocolate chips in each bag. The number of chips in 18 of their 42 bags is provided. The data collected was used to test if the number of chocolate chips in each 18-ounce bag of Chips Ahoy does not support Nabisco’s claim.

- Stay safe and healthy. Exercise: Apply the procedure in testing the hypothesis. A survey was conducted at a community college of 102 randomly selected students who dropped a course in the current semester to learn why students drop courses. Personal drop reasons include financial, transportation, family issues, health issues, and lack of child care. Course drop reasons include reducing ones load, being unprepared for the course, the course was not what was expected, dissatisfaction with teaching, and not getting the desired grade. Work drop reasons include an increase in hours, a change in shift, and obtaining full-time employment. Test whether gender is independent of drop reason at the 1% level of significance.

While most states have laws requiring seat belt use today, some people still do not “buckle up.” Let’s assume that 90 % of drivers do “buckle up.” If drivers are randomly stopped to check seat belt usage, answer the following questions and show your work. If they stop 30 cars during the first hour, find the mean and standard deviation of the number of drivers not expected to be wearing seatbelts? If they stop 120 cars during this safety check, what is the probability they find at least 12 drivers not wearing seatbelts?arrow_forward
