A molecular biologist is studying the effectiveness of a particular enzyme to digest a certain sequence of DNA nucleotides. He dividessix DNA samples into two parts, treats one part with the enzyme, and leaves the other part untreated. He then uses a polymerasechain reaction assay to count the number of DNA fragments that contain the given sequence. Another molecular biologist repeats thestudy with a different design. She makes up 12 DNA samples, and then chooses 6 at random to be treated with the enzyme and 6 toremain untreated. The results are as follows:Enzyme present: 12 15 14 22 22 20Enzyme absent: 23 39 37 18 26 23Let μx represent the population mean with the enzyme absent and let μy represent the population mean with the enzyme present.Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference μ✗- μy (Round the final answers to three decimal places.)

Pixar hopes to produce the Cars 4 movie in 2025, and would like to know what proportion of Cars 3 viewers saw Cars 2. If this percentage is greater than 75%, they'll design some ads primarily for viewers already familiar with the Cars sequence. Suppose the marketing division takes a random sample of Cars 3 viewers and finds 84% who had seen Cars 2, leading to p-value = 0.012.(a) If more than 75% of Cars 3 viewers saw Cars 2, one segment of the marketing division will focus on designing ads for Cars 4 for viewers familiar with the Cars sequence. Based on the p-value of 0.012, what should they do, for ? = 0.05?(Design/ Don't design) ads for Cars 4 for viewers familiar with the Cars sequence. There is (sufficient/ insufficient) evidence to conclude the proportion of Cars 3 viewers saw Cars 2 is greater than 75%.(b) Suppose the percentage of Cars 3 viewers who saw Cars 2 is really equal to 75%, and the marketing strategist makes the wrong conclusion.

A product development scientist is tasked with determining which of three methods is the most effective for catching fruit flies: a sticky paper trap, a liquid trap, or a container trap. The scientist hypothesizes that all three methods will be equally effective at catching the fruit flies. To investigate, he releases a random sample of 300 fruit flies in an enclosed area containing each of the three traps. He finds that 145 got stuck on the sticky paper, 80 were caught in the liquid trap, and 75 were caught in the container trap. He would like to know if these data provide convincing evidence that the three methods are not equally effective at catching fruit flies. What is the value of the chi-square test statistic and P-value? Find the chi-square table here. χ2 = 30.5, P-value is less than 0.0005 χ2 = 30.5, P-value is greater than 0.25 χ2 = 27.30, P-value is less than 0.0005 χ2 = 27.30, P-value is greater than 0.25

A purchaser of alarm clocks buys them in lots of size 10. It is his policy to inspect 3 clocks randomlyfrom a lot and to accept the lot only if all 3 are nondefective. If 30 percent of the lots have 4 defectiveclocks and 70 percent have only 1, what proportion of lots does the purchaser reject?
A florist wants to determine if a new additive would extend the life of cut flowers longer than the original additive. The florist randomly selects 20 carnations from the ones recently delivered by the greenhouse and places the first 10 in water with the new additive and remaining 10 in water with the original additive. After three weeks, 6 carnations placed in the new additive still looked healthy and 2 carnations placed in the original additive still looked healthy. The proportion of healthy carnations with the new additive was significantly greater than the proportion of healthy carnations with the original additive. Which of the following is a valid conclusion? Conclusions about cause and effect for the additives can be made, because the florist randomly selected the 20 carnations; additionally, inferences can be made about the population of carnations at the greenhouse. Conclusions about cause and effect for the additives cannot be made, because the florist did not…
Mendelian Genetics Experiments are conducted with hybrids of two types of peas. If the offspring follow Mendel’s theory of inheritance, the seeds that are produced are yellow smooth, green smooth, yellow wrinkled, and green wrinkled, and they should occur in the ratio of 9:3:3:1, respectively. An experiment is designed to test Mendel’s theory, with the result that the offspring seeds consist of 307 that are yellow smooth, 77 that are green smooth, 98 that are yellow wrinkled, and 18 that are green wrinkled. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the results contradict Mendel’s theory.

The Coca-Cola Company introduced New Coke in 1985. Within three months of this introduction, negative consumer reaction forced Coca-Cola to reintroduce the original formula of Coke as Coca-Cola Classic. Suppose that two years later, in 1987, a marketing research firm in Chicago compared the sales of Coca-Cola Classic, New Coke, and Pepsi in public building vending machines. To do this, the marketing research firm randomly selected 10 public buildings in Chicago having both a Coke machine (selling Coke Classic and New Coke) and a Pepsi machine.
