When functioning correctly, a machine produces switches with a 0.8% defective rate. Find the probability that a batch of 1,000 switches contains 14 or more defective switches (assuming that the machine functions correctly, i.e., the population defective rate is 0.8%). Suppose a batch of 1,000 switches were inspected when completed, and 14 defective switches were found. Based on your answer to part a, does this sample imply that the machine needs adjustment? Explain your answer.

In the fictional city of Statisticsville, last year residents spent an average of $12 per month using grocery pickup services (where you purchase groceries online and then drive to the store to pick them up). A journalist wants to know if people today in the (fictional) city of Statisticsville are spending more per month on average compared to last year. Her hypotheses are: Hoi u =12 HA: H> 12 She selects a random sample of 89 people at a large public space in Statisticsville and finds their average spending per month on grocery pickup fees is $12.19 with a standard deviation of $4.15. All necessary assumptions and conditions have already been checked and were met. 1) What are the degrees of freedom (DF) for the t-distribution for performing this hypothesis test? 88 (Enter an integer answer.) 2) What is the value of the t-statistic for performing this hypothesis test? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) 3) Which of the following statements about the value is most appropriate? (You…

A report describes a survey of 500 licensed drivers. Each driver in the sample was asked if they would prefer to keep complete control of the car while driving, to use a partially self-driving car that allowed partial driver control, or to turn full control over to a driverless car. Suppose that it is reasonable to regard this sample as a random sample of licensed drivers in the United States, and that you want to use the data from this survey to decide if there is evidence that fewer than half of all licensed drivers in the United States prefer to keep complete control of the car while driving. (d) The actual sample proportion observed in the study was p̂ = 0.44. Based on this sample proportion, is there convincing evidence that fewer than 50% of licensed drivers prefer to keep complete control of the car when driving, or is the sample proportion consistent with what you would expect to see when the null hypothesis is true? Support your answer with a probability calculation. (Round…

Homser Lake, Oregon, has an Atlantic salmon catch-and-release program that has been very successful. The average fisherman's catch has been ? = 9.0 Atlantic salmon per day. Suppose that a new quota system restricting the number of fishermen has been put into effect this season. A random sample of fishermen gave the following catches per day:12 6 11 12 5 0 27 8 7 6 3 12 12 I need help with (b) and the value of the sample test statistic

When two births are randomly selected, the sample space for genders is bb, bg. gb, and gg. Assume that those four outcomes are equally likely. Construct a table that describes the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of girls from two births. Does the mean of the sample proportions equal the proportion of girls in two births? Does the result suggest that a sample proportion an unbiased estimator of a population proportion? For the entire population, assume the probability of having a boy is the probability of having a girl is , and this is not affected by how many boys or girls have previously been born. 2 Determine the probabilities of each sample proportion.

A university wanted to see whether there was a significant difference in age between its day staff and evening staff. A random sample of 35 staff members is selected from each group. The data are given below.  Test the hypothesis that there is no difference in age between the two groups. Use a =0.05.  Day Staff 22 24 24 23 19 19 23 22 18 21 21 18 18 25 29 24 23 22 22 21 20 20 20 27 17 19 18 21 20 23 26 30 25 21 25 Evening Staff 18 23 25 23 21 21 23 24 27 31 24 20 20 23 19 25 24 27 23 20 20 21 25 24 23 28 20 19 23 24 20 27 21 29 30

Suppose the manager agrees to pay each employee a$50bonus if they meet a certain goal. On a typical Saturday, the oil-change facility will perform 35 oil changes between 10 A.M. and 12 P.M. Treating this as a random sample, at what mean oil-change fime would there be a10%chance of being at or below? This will be the goal established by the manager. There would be a10%chance of being at or below minutes.

disproportionately often. In fact, research has shown that if you randomly draw a number from a very large data file, the probability of getting a number with "1" as the leading digit is about 0.301. Now suppose you are an auditor for a very large corporation. The revenue report involves millions of numbers in a large computer file. Let us say you took a random sample of n = 223 numerical entries from the file and r = 48 of the entries had a first nonzero digit of 1. Let p represent the population proportion of all numbers in the corporate file that have a first nonzero digit of 1.(i) Test the claim that p is less than 0.301. Use ? = 0.05.   (a) What is the level of significance?State the null and alternate hypotheses. H0: p < 0.301; H1: p = 0.301H0: p = 0.301; H1: p > 0.301    H0: p = 0.301; H1: p < 0.301H0: p = 0.301; H1: p ≠ 0.301 (b) What sampling distribution will you use? The standard normal, since np > 5 and nq > 5. The standard normal, since np < 5 and nq <…
