Question
An inspector checks large truck loads of potatoes to determine the proportion ? in the shipment with major defects, prior to the potatoes being used to make potato chips. If there is clear evidence that this proportion is less than 0.1, she will accept the shipment. To reach a decision, she will test the hypotheses ?0:?=0.1 versus ??:?<0.1 . To do so, the inspector selects a simple random sample of 150 potatoes from the more than 3000 potatoes on the truck. Only 8 of the potatoes sampled are found to have major defects.
What is the value of the large‑sample ? test statistic?
−1.91
1.91
−2.54

The airline claims that if luggage is lost, in 87% of cases the airline is able to recover and deliver the luggage within 24 hours. A consumer watchdog group found a random sample of 125 people whose luggage was lost and found that 99 of them had their luggage recovered and returned within 24 hours. The Sample proportion p-hat is 99/125 = 0.792. The watchdog group wants to perform a hypothesis test against the claim that the airline is able to recover 87% of lost luggage in 24 hours.

Patients were randomly divided into a treatment group where they received a blood thinner or the control group where they did not. We're interested in understanding what proportion of patients survived in the first 24 hours in the hospital. Here's the data: Control Treatment Survived 11 14 Died 39 26 With the help of Mathematics and R Studio: Conduct a (full) hypothesis test to determine if the treatment group survived at a higher rate than the control group.arrow_forwardAnn and Sam are both testing the hypothesis that 40% of plain M&M are orange.

- The records of a light bulb manufacturer show that, when the manufacturing machinery is working correctly, the defect rate (due to imperfections in the material used) is 1%. The manufacturer's control department periodically tests samples of the bulbs, and when 1.25% or more are defective, they call repair technicians for service. The control department is going to take a random sample of 4400 light bulbs. Let p be the proportion of defective light bulbs in the sample assuming the machinery is working correctly. A) find the mean of p b)find the standard deviation of p c)Compute an approximation for P≥p0.0125, which is the probability that, assuming the machinery is working correctly, the repair technicians will be called. Round your answer to four decimal places.arrow_forwardThe records of a light bulb manufacturer show that, when the manufacturing machinery is working correctly, the defect rate (due to imperfections in the material used) is 1%.

The control department is going to take a random sample of 4400 light bulbs. Let p be the proportion of defective light bulbs in the sample assuming the machinery is working correctly. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Find the mean of p. (b) Find the standard deviation of p. (c) Compute an approximation for P(P ≥ 0.0125), which is the probability that, assuming the machinery is working correctly, the repair technicians will be called.

- Males and females were asked what they would do if they received a $100 bill in the mail that was addressed to their neighbor, but had been incorrectly delivered to them. Of the 70 males sampled, 55 said yes they would return it to their neighbor. Of the 130 females sampled, 120 said yes. The overall question is: Is this sufficient evidence to say that the two true proportions are different? Assume that the p-value turns out to be .027 (again not the correct p-value for this situation but use it to answer this question). What is your decision on this hypothesis test using a 5% level of significance?
