An auditor for a government agency was assigned the task of evaluating reimbursement for office visits to physicians paid by Medicare. The audit was conducted on a sample of 75 reimbursements, with the following results:
• In 12 of the office visits, there was an incorrect amount of reimbursement.
• The amount of reimbursement was X = $93.70, S = $34.55.
a. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence that the population
d. What is your answer to (a) if the sample mean equals $90?

The records show that, when there is no malfunction, the defect rate in the manufacturing process (due to imperfections in the material used) is 1% . When 1.5% or more of the light bulbs in the sample of 4400 are defective, the control unit calls repair technicians for service. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a)Find the mean of p , where p is the proportion of defective light bulbs in a sample of 4400 when there is no malfunction. (b)Find the standard deviation of p . (c)Compute an approximation for P≥p0.015 , which is the probability that the service technicians will be called even though the system is functioning properly.

- Arsenic is toxic to humans and people can be exposed to it through contaminated drinking water, food, dust, and soil. Scientists have devised a non-invasive way to measure a person's level of arsenic poisoning: by examining toenail clippings. In a recent study, scientists measure the level of arsenic (in mg/kg) in toenail clippings of 8 people who lived near a former arsenic mine in Great Britain. The following levels are recorded. 0.8, 1.9, 2.7, 3.4, 3.9, 7.1, 11.9, 26.0 Below are the summary statistics of the data. min Q1 median Q3 max sd n mean 0.8 2.5 3.65 8.3 26 7.2125 8.368041 8 Suppose the 8 people examined were randomly sampled from residents near the former arsenic mine. Is it legitimate to construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean level of arsenic (in mg/kg) in toenail clippings for residents near the former arsenic mine using a t-distribution?
