- An experiment was conducted to investigate leaking current in a SOS MOSFETS device. The purpose of the experiment was to investigate how leakage current varies as the channel length changes. Four channel lengths were selected. For each channel length, five different widths were also used, and width is to be considered a nuisance factor. The data are as follows: (a) Test the hypothesis that mean leakage voltage does not depend on the channel length using a= 0.05. (b) Analyze the residuals from this experiment. Comment on the residual plots. (c) The observed leakage voltage for channel length 4 and width 5 was erroneously recorded. The correct observation is 4.0. Analyze the corrected data from this experiment. Is there evidence to conclude that mean leakage voltage increases with channel length?arrow_forwardUnfortunately, arsenic occurs naturally in some ground water.t A mean arsenic level of u = 8.0 parts per billion (ppb) is considered safe for agricultural use.

This test result prompts a state school administrator to declare that the mean score for the state's eighth graders on this exam is more than 275. Assume that the population standard deviation is 36. At α=0.05, is there enough evidence to support the administrator's claim? Find the standardized test statistic z, and its corresponding area. z=enter your response here (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Two random samples of 30 are selectedfrom each group and are given a manual dexterity test. The mean of the athletes’ test was 87, and the mean of the band members’ test was 92. The population standard deviation for the test is 7.2. At α = 0.01, is there a significant difference in the mean scores?arrow_forward

Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributedpopulations, and do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. Let population 1 be females. Female BMI: n=69 x=29.14 s=7.41 Male BMI: n=79 x=28.18 s=5.24 The test statistic is The P-value is Construct a confidence interval appropriate for testing the claim in part (a).

- The confidence interval for the population variance was found to be 86.233 to 456.955. However, a confidence interval for the population standard deviation is needed. Recall that the standard deviation is the positive square root of the variance. Therefore, the confidence interval for the standard deviation can be found by taking the positive square root of the lower and upper bounds for the variance. Substitute o? = 86.233 to find the lower bound for the confidence interval of the population standard deviation, rounding the result to two decimal places. lower bound of o - V lower bound of o? Substitute o2 = 456.955 to find the upper bound for the confidence interval of the population standard deviation, rounding the result to two decimal places. upper bound of a = V upper bound of a Therefore, a 95% confidence interval for the population standard deviation for the underpricing-overpricing indicator is from a lower bound of to an upper bound ofarrow_forwardA random sample of 76 eighth grade students' scores on a national mathematics assessment test has a mean score of 283.
