Textbook Question
Chapter 10.2, Problem 17E
Defective electronics: A team of designers was given the task of reducing the defect rate in the manufacture of a certain printed circuit board. The team decided to reconfigure the cooling system. A total of 973 boards produced the week before the reconfiguration was implemented, and 254 of these were defective. A total of 847 boards were produced the week after reconfiguration, and 95 of these were defective.
- Construct a 90% confidence inters-al for the decrease in the defective rate after the reconfiguration.
- A quality control engineer claims that the reconfiguration has decreased the proportion of defective parts by more than 0.15. Does the confidence interval contradict this claim?

Strack, Martin, and Stepper (1988) reported that people rate cartoons as funnier when holding a pen in their teeth (which forced them to smile) than when holding a pen in their lips (which forced them to frown). A researcher attempted to replicate this result using a sample of adults between the ages of 40 and 45. For each person, the researcher recorded the difference between the rating obtained while smiling and the rating obtained while frowning. On average the cartoons were rated as funnier when the participants were smiling, with an average difference of with .
Do the data indicate that the cartoons are rated significantly funnier when the participants are smiling? Use a one-tailed test with .
Compute to measure the size of the treatment effect.
Write a sentence describing the outcome of the hypothesis test and the measure of effect size as it would appear in a research report.
A manufacturer ran an experiment to compare the wearing qualities of two different types of automobile tires, A and B. In the experiment, a tire of Type A and one of the type B were randomly assigned and mounted on the rear wheels of each of five cars. the cars were then operated for x miles and the amount of tire wear was recorded (higher number represents more wear). Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a difference in the average wear? Use 0.05 level of significance.

Researchers conducted trials to investigate the effects of color on creativity. Subjects with a. Red background were asked to think of creative uses for a brick; other subjects with a blue background were given the same task. Responses were scored by a panel of judges and results from scores of creativity are given in the accompanying table. Higher scores correspond to more creativity. The researchers make the claim that "blue enhances performance on a creative task". Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations, and do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. what are the null and alternative hypothesis

- Dr. Mackintosh believes a new olfactory therapy would be more successful in promoting weight loss among obese patients. His patients are first weighed and then randomly assigned to olfactory therapy, dance therapy, or a control condition. At the end of the three weeks, the amount of weight lost is recorded. The results indicate no significant difference in the amount of weight lost between the three conditions. If differences in conditions were detected, but did not really exist, what kind of error occurred?arrow_forwardResearchers have noted a decline in cognitive functioning as people age (Bartus, 1990). However, the results from other research suggest that the antioxidants in foods such as blueberries may reduce and even reverse these age-related declines (Joseph et al., 1999). To examine this phenomenon, suppose that a researcher obtains a sample of n = 16 adults who are between the ages of 65 and 75. The researcher uses a standardized test to measure cognitive performance for each individual. The participants then begin a 2-month program in which they receive daily doses of a blueberry supplement. At the end of the 2-month period, the researcher again measures cognitive performance for each participant. The results show an average increase in performance of MD = 7.4 with SS = 1215. Does this result support the conclusion that the antioxidant supplement has a significant effect on cognitive performance? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05.

- Harwood and Naylor (1969) wondered whether visual memory changes with age. A standardized test shows that when young adults (mean age 24 years) have learned to recognize 20 line drawings of common objects, they recognize about 75% of these in a surprise test four weeks later.

Occasionally, and obstacle appears (a dog runs into the road, an area is closed off for construction, a traffic light suddenly turns red) and they measure the time required to brake (in seconds). In one study, 32 participants were randomly assigned to drive the route either in silence, or while talking to a confederate on a hands-free cell phone.
