1.75, 1.92, 2.62, 2.35, 3.09, 3.15, 2.53, 1.91

A Construct and interpret the 95% confidence interval for the population mean start ignition time of an automobile engine.

B Test at 0.05 significance level whether the population mean start ignition time is below 2.9 
seconds. Include the hypotheses, the test st atistic, the p-value, test decision 
and conclusion in the context of the problem.

C. Does the confidence interval in the output support your statistical decision? Explain.

D. Construct a Normal Probability Plot of the data. In your opinion, does the graph support an assumption of normality? Explain.

E. Perform a Shapiro-Wilk test of normality. State hypothesis, p-value and conclusion. Did this support your decision in part (d) based on the normality plot?

F. What test decision error could you have made and provide an explanation of this error in context of the problem.

1: A survey questioned 1,000 high school students. The survey revealed that 46% are honor roll students. Of those who are honor roll students, 45% play sports in school and 21% of those that are not honor roll students, don't play sports. What is the probability that a high school student selected at random plays sports in school?

minutes?

(Round to four decimal places as needed.)

b. What is the probability that the amount of time spent today on mobile devices by an adult is more than 50

minutes?

(Round to four decimal places as needed.)

1 The Earth is structured in layers: crust, mantle, and core. A recent study was conducted to estimate the mean depth of the upper mantle in a specific farming region in California. Twenty-six, n = 26 sample sites were selected at random from a normally distributed population of approximately N = 1598 sites, and the depth of the upper mantle was measured using changes in seismic velocity and density. The sample mean was 127.5 km and the sample standard deviation was 21.3 km. Suppose the depth of the upper mantle is normally distributed. Find a 90% confidence interval for the true mean depth of the upper mantle in this farming region.

. (25.09) The University of Chicago's General Social Survey (GSS) is the nation’s most important social science sample survey. The GSS asked a random sample of adults their opinion about whether astrology is very scientific, sort of scientific, or not at all scientific. Here is a two-way table of counts for people in the sample who had three levels of higher education degrees:
Degree Held
Junior College Bachelor Graduate
Not at all scientific 42 122 73
Very or sort of scientific 30 63 25

Carry out a chi-square test for association between education level and opinion about astrology. Test H0:H0: there is no relationship between education level and astrology opinion versus

Ha:Ha: there is some relationship between education level and astrology opinion. Use α=0.05α=0.05.

P(±0.0001)=P(±0.0001)=

There is no evidence of an association between education level and opinion of astrology.

There is evidence of an association between education level and opinion of astrology.

A program was created to randomly choose customers at a shoe store to receive a discount. The program claims 15% of the receipts will get a discount in the long run. The manager of the shoe store is skeptical and believes the program's calculations are incorrect. She selects a random sample and finds that 12% received the discount. The confidence interval is 0.12 ± 0.05 with all conditions for inference met.

Part A: Using the given confidence interval, is it statistically evident that the program is not working? Explain.

Part B: Is it statistically evident from the confidence interval that the program creates the discount with a 0.15 probability? Explain.

Part C: Another random sample of receipts is taken. This sample is six times the size of the original. Twelve percent of the receipts in the second sample received the discount. What is the value of margin of error based on the second sample with the same confidence level as the original interval?

Part D: Using the margin of error from the second sample in part C, is the program working as planned? Explain.

  1. What percentage of data would you predict would be between 25 and 50 and what percentage would you predict would be more than 50 miles? Use the Week 4 spreadsheet again to find the percentage of the data set we expect to have values between 25 and 50 as well as for more than 50. Now determine the percentage of data points in the dataset that fall within each of these ranges, using same strategy as above for counting data points in the data set. How do each of these compare with your prediction and why is there a difference?
