In an article published in May 2014, Puget Systems published a variety of data on failure rates of graphics cards. In their studies, they found 1.57% of the GT/GTX 6xx series failed "in the field" (meaning cards actually sold to customers). Suppose we have a batch of 1000 of these cards and suppose the in-field failure rates of these cards happens to match up with the failure rate found by Puget. If you were to purchase two of these cards from the batch of 1000, what is the probability that at least one of your cards will fail?

The assessment of diet is an important exposure for many disease outcomes. However, there is often much imprecision in dietary recall. In one study, 70-to 79-year-old women were asked about the preschool diet of their children (ages 2−4) using a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). A unique aspect of the study is that simultaneous diet record data exist on the same children recorded in real time by their mothers when they were ages 2−4 and their mothers were 20 to 40 years old. The data in Table 11.36 were available on average servings of margarine per week.

The owner of a small deli is trying to decide whether to discontinue selling magazines. He suspects that only 9.7% of his customers buy a magazine and he thinks that he might be able to use the display space to sell something more profitable. Before making a final decision, he decides that for one day he will keep track of the number of customers that buy a magazine. Assuming his suspicion that 9.7% of his customers buy a magazine is correct, what is the probability that exactly 6 out of the first 13 customers buy a magazine? 0.000305894 0.00100664 0.000699781 0.000778757 0.000204114 0.000326183
A researcher has access to 100 participants for an independent sample design study, and she is hoping to achieve power = .80.What effect size will her data need to achieve to make that possible?
Suppose you are a production manager for a small firm that manufactures designer phone cases. Your production facility utilizes three machines. Quality is binary — each phone case is either defective or it is not defective. Each hour, Machines 1, 2, and 3 produce 10, 10 and 20 phone cases, respectively. But because the machines differ slightly in their technology, data on past production has shown that they differ in terms of their rates of defective output — specifically, Machines 1, 2, and 3 have rates of defective production of 2%, 4%, and 5%, respectively. If one phone case is selected randomly from one hour’s total output, and that phone case is found to be defective, what is the probability that it was produced by Machine 1? Machine 2? Machine 3?
A motion picture industry analyst is studying movies based on epic novels. The following data were obtained for 10 Hollywood movies made in the past five years. Each movie was based on an epic novel. For these data, x1 = first-year box office receipts of the movie, x2 = total production costs of the movie, x3 = total promotional costs of the movie, and x4 = total book sales prior to movie release. All units are in millions of dollars. x1 x2 x3 x4 85.1 8.5 5.1 4.7 106.3 12.9 5.8 8.8 50.2 5.2 2.1 15.1 130.6 10.7 8.4 12.2 54.8 3.1 2.9 10.6 30.3 3.5 1.2 3.5 79.4 9.2 3.7 9.7 91.0 9.0 7.6 5.9 135.4 15.1 7.7 20.8 89.3 10.2 4.5 7.9 a) If x2 (production costs) and x4 (book sales) were held fixed but x3 (promotional costs) were increased by 1.1 million dollars, what would you expect for the corresponding change in x1 (box office receipts)? (Use 2 decimal places.)b) Test each coefficient in the regression equation to determine if it is zero or not zero. Use level of…
The owner of a chain of mini-markets wants to compare the sales performance of two of her stores, Store 1 and Store 2. Sales can vary considerably depending on the day of the week and the season of the year, so she decides to eliminate such effects by making sure to record each store's sales on the same sample of days. After choosing a random sample of 10 days, she records the sales (in dollars) for each store on these days, as shown in the table below. Day 1 2 3 7 8 10 Store 1 642 320 937 399 946 544 562 257 758 538 Store 2 601 68 841 323 834 603 486 92 480 268 Difference - 59 41 (Store 1 - Store 2) 252 96 76 112 76 165 278 270 Send data to calc... v Based on these data, can the owner conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that the mean daily sales of the two stores differ? Answer this question by performing a hypothesis test regarding µ, (which is µ with a letter "d" subscript), the population mean daily sales difference between the two stores. Assume that this population of…
Psychologists Erik Erikson suggested that individuals go through eight developmental stages of life. Erikson believed that at stage 8 (age 65 to death), an adult's fear of death can be predicted by the satisfaction they feel when reflecting back on their lives. To investigate, a psychiatrist interviewed a random sample of adults age 65 and older, and scored them on their satisfaction with their lives and their fear of death. The psychiatrist wants to confirm Erikson's theory. What can be concluded with a = 0.01? fear of death satisfied 4 3 4 2 2 10 3 2 4 7 3 4 8. 4 a) Select and compute the appropriate statistic. ---Select--- b) Input the appropriate value(s) to make a decision about Ho. p-value X ; Decision: Fail to reject H0 v c) Using the SPSS results, compute the corresponding effect size(s) and indicate magnitude(s).

Beryllium is an extremely lightweight metal that is used in many industries, such as aerospace and electronics. Long-term exposure to beryllium can cause people to become sensitized. Once an individual is sensitized, continued exposure can result in chronic beryllium disease, which involves scarring of the lungs. In a study of the effects of exposure to beryllium, workers were categorized by their duration of exposure (in years) and by their disease status (diseased, sensitized, or normal). The results were as follows: Duration of Exposure <1 1 to <5 ≥5 Diseased 14 13 18 Sensitized 11 20 15 Normal 78 140 209 Test the hypothesis of independence. Use the a=0.10 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator. What do you conclude? State the null and alternate hypotheses.
