A restaurant chain is measuring the levels of arsenic in chicken from its suppliers. The question is whether there is evidence that the mean level of arsenic is greater than 80 ppb. The levels of arsenic (in ppb) are:

68,75,81,93,95,134

  1. What is the sample mean for the data? Use the appropriate notation.

     2.    Write the null and alternative hypothesis.

3.    Describe the meaning of the parameter used in Part (2)

4. Translate the original sample data by the appropriate amount to create a new dataset in which the null hypothesis is true. How do the sample size and standard deviation of this new dataset compare to the sample size and standard deviation of the original dataset?

5. Describe in detail how to create one randomization sample.

     6. Use StatKey to find the p-value.

     7. State your decision based on the p-value

     8. Write your conclusion in context.

     9. Could you have made a Type I error or a Type II error?

Expert Solution

  1. What is the sample mean for the data? Use the appropriate notation.

x = 68+75+81+93+95+134/6 = 91

     2.    Write the null and alternative hypothesis.

The hypothesis being tested is:

H0: µ = 80 ppb

Ha: µ > 80 ppb

3.    Describe the meaning of the parameter used in Part (2)

The population mean is hypothesized to be greater than 80.

4. Translate the original sample data by the appropriate amount to create a new dataset in which the null hypothesis is true. How do the sample size and standard deviation of this new dataset compare to the sample size and standard deviation of the original dataset?

The sample size is 6 and the standard deviation is 23.469. The original data set is not provided but the sample is the representation of the population.

5. Describe in detail how to create one randomization sample.

Take the random values from the population and consider this as a sample which is a randomized sample.

     6. Use StatKey to find the p-value.

The p-value is 0.1514.

     7. State your decision based on the p-value

Since the p-value (0.1514) is greater than the significance level (0.05), we cannot reject the null hypothesis.

     8. Write your conclusion in context.

Therefore, we cannot conclude that the mean level of arsenic is greater than 80 ppb.

     9. Could you have made a Type I error or a Type II error?

A Type II error

A restaurant chain in Ontario wants to know the level of satisfaction of their customers. From each of Toronto and Ottawa, a random sample of 14 customers was selected and asked to rate their dining experience on a scale from 1 to 10 (with 1 being not satisfied at all, 10 being extremely satisfied). A total of 28 scores was collected. Below is a summary of the data: City Toronto Ottawa Sample Mean 4.3611 5.9444 Sample std. 1.1401 2.4254 #...

Sampling Distribution of Proportions A restaurant chain regularly surveys its customers. On the basis of these surveys, the management of the chain claims that 75% of its customers rate the food as excellent. A consumer testing service wants to examine this claim. They take a simple random sample of 600 customers and ask them each to rate the food. Assume that the restaurant chain’s claim is true (i.e. that the true proportion is indeed 0.75). a) assuming that the chain’s...

1) The Zino restaurant chain is conducting an analysis of its restaurants, which take pride in serving burgers and fries to go faster than the competition. As a part of its analysis, Zino wants to determine if its speed of service is different across its four outlets. Orders at Zino restaurants are tracked electronically, and the chain is able to determine the speed with which every order is filled. The chain decided to randomly sample 20 orders from each of...
