Yvon Hopps ran an experiment to determine the optimum power and time settings for microwave popcorn. His goal was
to find a combination of power and time that would deliver high-quality popcorn with less than 9% of the kernels left
un-popped, on average. After experimenting with several bags, he determined that power 9 at 4 minutes was the best
combination. To be sure that the method was successful, he popped 8 more bags of popcorn (selected at random) at
this setting. All were of high quality, with the following percentages of uncooked popcorn: 8.4, 11.4, 8.7, 8.3, 4.6, 2.4,
3.2, 5.6. Does the 95% confidence interval suggest that he met his goal of an average of no more than 9%
uncooked kernels? Explain.
The 95% confidence interval for the true mean percentage of unpopped kernels is (%,%).
(Round to two decimal places as needed. Use ascending order.)

An experimenter wants to study the relationship between type of milk and infant growth in underdeveloped countries. She randomly assigns 300 infants to either a breast-feeding group or an infant formula group. She then weighs the infants every three days for the first four weeks of life.
CPUS made of two different materials are tested to see how they effect the processor speed of a computer. Specifically, material 1 is currently in use, but material 2 is acceptable. Since material 2 is
cheaper, it should be adopted, providing it does not change the process yield. A test is run and results are obtained as follows.
n = 8
n, = 8

2.98
X1 = 92.255 X2 = 92.733
Construct a 99% confidence interval for the difference of means under equal variance case.

- Suppose that the neighboring cities of Tweed and Ledee are long-term rivals. Neal, who was born and raised in Tweed, is confident that Tweed residents are more concerned about the environment than the residents of Ledee. He knows that the average electricity consumption of Tweed households last February was 654.32 kWh and decides to test if Ledee residents used more electricity that month, on average. He collects data from 45 Ledee households and calculates the average electricity consumption to be 687.81 kWh with a standard deviation of 117.17 kWh. There are no outliers in his sample data. Neal does not know the population standard deviation nor the population distribution. He uses a one-sample t-test with a significance level of a = 0.05 to test the null hypothesis, Họ: µ = 654.32, against the alternative hypothesis, H1:µ > 654.32, where u is the average electricity consumption of Ledee households last February. Neal calculates a t-statistic of 1.917 and a P-value of 0.031. Based on…arrow_forwardWe're interested in whether warm milk helps people go to sleep faster.

- In North America, between 100 million and 1 billion birds die each year by crashing into windows on buildings, more than any other human-related cause. This figure represents up to 5% of all birds in the area. One possible solution is to construct windows angled downward slightly, so that they reflect the ground rather than an image of the sky to a flying bird. An experiment by Klem et al. (2004) compared the number of birds that died as a result of vertical windows, windows angled 20 degrees off vertical, and windows angled 40 degrees off vertical. The angles were randomly assigned with equal probability to six windows and changed daily; assume for this exercise that windows and window locations were identical in every respect except angle. Over the course of the experiment, 30 birds were killed by windows in the vertical orientation, 15 were killed by windows set at 20 degrees off vertical, and 8 were killed by windows set at 40 degrees off vertical. .

Scientists at The Salk Institute at La Jolla, California, took a random sample of adult mice and divided them into two groups. Both groups were trained to find a platform in a maze filled with cloudy water. (Mice hate swimming, so they seek the platform as the refuge.) The first group of mice exercised on a running wheel, about 5 kilometers per day. The second group remained inactive. After one month, the mice were placed in the maze and timed until each reached the platform. The sample statistics are given below.Active group: n = 15, x ̄ = 17.6, s = 3.0 111Inactive group: n = 12, x ̄ = 27.1, s = 6.3 222(a) At 1% significance level conduct a hypothesis test to determine if exercise im- proves memory in adult mice; in other words, test if the active group is, on average, faster than the inactive group.(i.)

- A car company conducts crash tests of its new airbag system to evaluate its safety. One hundred cars are run into a solid concrete barrier at a speed of 35 miles per hour, and the chest compression of a crash test dummy is measured each time. They hope that the average compression if the test were repeated over and over (which we could think of as the population) would be about 2 inches, corresponding to an injury that would be painful but not fatal. In the hundred tests, the average chest compression in the crash test dummies was 2.1 inches, with an SD of 0.2 inches.(a) State the null and alternative hypotheses in terms of the problem.(b) What kind of box model will we use for this problem? A 0-1 box, or a box with other values on the tickets?(c) State the null and alternative hypotheses in terms of the box model (d) Compute the z test statistic and the p-value, using the sample average as your statistic as you compute z (e) What do you conclude?arrow_forwardI need help with this problem.arrow_forwardfirst part is the question, and the second part is the choicesarrow_forward
- An engineer was interested in the effect of two factors on strength of sheet castings of a polymer. One factor was time in a polymerization bath with 1% catalyst. The other factor was the temperature of the polymerization bath. The engineer tried two times (20 minutes and 60 minutes) and two temperatures (100 and 120 degrees F). He treated samples of polymer under each of the four sets of conditions. Then he measured flexural strength (in pounds per square inch, or psi) on samples of sheet castings of the polymer. The results are shown in the table below: 100 degrees 20 minutes 9500 10650 9700 9950 10100 60 minutes 11500 11650 11250 11250 11900 120 degrees 11300 11750 11600 11650 11700 10900 11500 11850 11700 11650 Test for main factor effects or factor interactions, at the 5% significance level.arrow_forwardA psychologist would like to examine the effects of a new drug on the activity level of animals. Three samples of rats are selected with n = 5 in each sample. The rats in the first sample serve as a control and do not get any of the drug.
