18) Add trendline, regression equation and r squared to the plot.

Add this title. ("Scatterplot of X and Y Data")

19)

The scatterplot reveals a point outside the point pattern. Copy the data to a new location in the worksheet. You now have 2 sets of data.
Data that are more tha 1.5 IQR below Q1 or more than 1.5 IQR above Q3 are considered outliers and must be investigated.
It was determined that the outlying point resulted from data entry error. Remove the outlier in the copy of the data.
Make a new scatterplot linked to the cleaned data without the outlier, and add title ("Scatterplot without Outlier,") trendline, and regression equation label.

A manufacturer of automobile batteries claim that at least 80% of the batteries
that it produces will last 36 months. A consumers’ advocate group wants to evaluate this
longevity claim and selects a random sample of 28 batteries to test. The following data indicate
the length of time (in months) that each of these batteries lasted (i.e., performed properly
before failure): 42.3, 39.6, 25.0, 56.2, 37.2, 47.4, 57.5, 39.3, 39.2, 47.0, 47.4, 39.7, 57.3, 51.8,
31.6, 45.1, 40.8, 42.4, 38.9, 42.9, 34.1, 49.0, 41.5, 60.1, 34.6, 50.4, 30.7, 44.1. Now, we would
like to test, at a significance level of 0.05, if there is a significant evidence that less than 80%
of the batteries will last at least 36 months? Conduct and conclude the test.

You have prepared 10 types of treats for your 5 cats. You don’t know which treat each of your cats will

go for, so you have bought for each type enough treats for all your cats. Assume that each cat is equally

likely to choose any type of treats, and let X be the number of pairs of cats that will choose the same

type of treats. Compute E(X) and Var(X).

(Hint: consider events Ai,j that the ith and jth cats will choose the same type of treats.)

1. A regular type of laminate is currently being used by a manufacturer of circuit boards. A special laminate has been developed to reduce warpage.   The regular laminate will be used on one sample of circuit boards and the special laminate on another independent sample of circuit boards. The amount of warpage will then be determined for each circuit board. The manufacturer will then switch to the special laminate only if it can be demonstrated that the true average amount of warpage for that laminate is less than for the regular laminate. State the relevant hypotheses, and describe the type I and type II errors in the context of this scenario.

        Suppose a true average flame time of at most 9.75 seconds had been mandated. Does the data suggest that this condition has not been met? Carry out an appropriate test after first investigating the plausibility of assumptions that underlie your method of inference. Use the recommended sequence of steps and reach a conclusion using a significance level of 0.01:

a. Identify the parameter of interest and describe it in the context of the problem situation:

b. Determine the null value and state the null hypothesis:

c. State the appropriate alternative hypothesis:

d. Give the formula for the computed value of the test statistic (substituting the null value and the known values of any other parameters, but not those of any sample-based quantities):

e. Compute any necessary sample quantities, substitute into the formula for the test statistic value and compute that value:

f. Determine the P-value:

g. Compare the selected or specified significance level to the P-value to decide whether H0 should be rejected, and state this conclusion in the problem context:

1. Suppose that you are interested in determining whether the advice given by a physician during a routine physical examination is effective in encouraging patients to stop smoking. In a study of current smokers, one group of patients was given a brief talk about the hazards of smoking and was encouraged to quit. A second group received no talk related to smoking. All patients were given a follow-up exam. In the sample of 150 patients who had received the talk, 23 reported that they had quit smoking. In the sample of 90 patients that hadn’t received a talk 8 had ceased smoking.

a. Create a 2x2 table based on the data provided in the question.

b. Use Chi-square test to determine whether there is an association between receiving talks and quitting smoking. Choose α = 0.05.

Another 1319 schoolchildren at age 14 were random selected to be questioned on the prevalence of symptoms of severe cold. For schoolchildren of age 12, 356 children were reported to have severe colds in the past 12 months, for schoolchildren of age 14, 468 were reported to have severe colds in the past 12 months. Is there an association between the prevalence of severe cold and the age of 12 and 14?
