A study of 45 pregnant women with more than 12 years of education were asked to predict the sex of their babies, and 32 of them made correct predictions. Use these results to test the claim that women with more than 12 years of education have a proportion of correct predictions that is greater than the 0.5 proportion expected with random guesses. Use a 0.01 significance level. Do these women appear to have an ability to correctly predict the sex of their babies? Must show all work.

Maintenance of Production Facility

A production facility has several 3-D printing machines which need maintenance for two reasons. Maintenance type A: a sensor may have detected a fault, e.g. an oil leak. Maintenance type B: the quality of the printed product is unacceptable. Each maintenance requirement occurs at random and independently of other requirements for maintenance, with characteristics summarized in the following table:

Maintenance Type

Average rate of occurrence per week totalled over all 3-D printing machines in the production facility

Cost of maintenance

A

6.7 (maintenance events per week)

$430 (per maintenance event)

B

Depressed patients were randomly assigned to one of three groups: a placebo group, a group that received a moderate dose of the drug, and a group that received a high dose of the drug. After four weeks of treatment, the patients completed the Beck Depression Inventory. The higher the score, the more depressed the patient.

We are now also interested if a patient's weight has an effect on the drug's effectiveness. Patients were categorized as either underweight, overweight, or 'medium weight'.  These revised data are presented below. Use the Microsoft Excel "Anova Single-Factor" Data Analysis tool to conduct a 2-way ANOVA test for the data in the following table:

Placebo Moderate Dose High Dose
underweight 42 22 13
underweight 52 19 14
medweight 41 31 12
medweight 41 21 19
overweight 39 8 10
overweight 33 23 0
  1. Should this be a 2-way test WITH replication or WITHOUT replication?
  2. What are the three Questions, in context, that we want our ANOVA to answer?
  3. What are your three answers?  Use the group and interaction confidence levels obtained by way of the Excel ANOVA output table's p-values.   State your answers in terms of dose and weight.

  1. It is possible to compare multiple means with a single set of hypotheses (one null and one alternate hypothesis).   
  2. In hypothesis testing, the goal is to accept the null hypothesis.

  1. Point estimates are known for estimating the population values perfectly.
  2. In hypothesis testing, the region(s) of rejection is always in the tail(s).
  3. If the confidence level is changed from 90% to 95%, the confidence interval values would get closer to each other.
