Arsenic-based additives in chicken feed have been banned by the European Union. Ifa restaurant chain finds significant evidence that the mean arsenic level of theirchickens is above 80 ppb (parts per billion), the chain will stop using that supplier ofchicken meat. The hypotheses are:
H 0 : µ = 80H 1 : µ > 80
where µ represents the mean arsenic level in all chicken meat from that supplier.Samples from two different suppliers are analyzed, and the resulting p-values aregiven:
Sample from Supplier A: p-value is 0.0003Sample from Supplier B: p-value is 0.3500
a) Interpret each p-value in terms of the probability of the results happening byrandom chance.
b) Which p-value shows stronger evidence for the alternative hypothesis?
c) Which supplier, A or B, should the chain get chickens from in order to avoid toohigh a level of arsenic?
Radon is a colorless, odorless, invisible gas that seeps into residential homes and has been linked to lung cancer. A generally acceptable safe level of radon is 4 pCi/L. A radon detection device measures the radon level once per hour at a randomly selected time throughout a one-week period. Then it calculates the mean radon level for the sample of measurements. Based on the sample results, the device performs a test of H0 : µ = 4 versus Ha : µ > 4, where µ is the true mean radon level.
(a) Describe a Type I error.(b) Give a consequence of making a Type I error. (c) Describe a Type II error.(d) Give a consequence of making a Type II error. (e) Which error is more serious? Why?

- A dentist wanted to determine if a relationship existed between childhood fluoride exposure and cavities. She took a sample of adults in her practice and counted how many cavities each person had in his or her permanent teeth. She also determined how many years of childhood each person was exposed to tap water with fluoride. The minimum value on this variable was 0 and the maximum was 18. Using the data below, an alpha of .05 and a two-tailed test, was there a significant relationship?

The odor threshold for dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in trained wine tasters is about 25 micrograms per liter of wine (µg/L). The untrained noses of consumers may be less sensitive, however. A set of DMS odor threshold data for 10 untrained students was analyzed. How sensitive are the untrained noses of students? You want to estimate the mean DMS odor threshold among all students, and you would be satisfied to estimate the mean to within ±0.25 with 95% confidence. The standard deviation of the odor threshold for untrained noses is known to be o = 8 micrograms per liter of wine. How large an SRS of untrained students do you need?

- An automobile manufacturer claims that a particular model car averages 24 miles per gallon. A consumer group feels that the company is overestimating the mean miles per gallon and asks the Consumer Protection Agency to investigate. The CPA plans to take a random sample of 30 cars of this model, find the mean miles per gallon for these cars, and conduct a test to determine whether the mean is significantly less than 24 mpg. The hypotheses for the test are: H₀: µ=24 and Ha: µ < 24.State and describe the Type 1 and 2 errors.arrow_forwardIn a population with o = 6, a score of X = 48 corresponds to z = 1.25.
