How much does a sleeping bag cost? Let's say you want a sleeping bag that should keep you warm in temperatures from 20°F to 45°F. A random sample of prices ($) for sleeping bags in this temperature range is given below. Assume that the population of x values has an approximately normal distribution.

105 75 85 80 65 50 30 23 100 110
105 95 105 60 110 120 95 90 60 70

(a) Use a calculator with mean and sample standard deviation keys to find the sample mean price x and sample standard deviation s. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
x = $
s = $

(b) Using the given data as representative of the population of prices of all summer sleeping bags, find a 90% confidence interval for the mean price μ of all summer sleeping bags. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

A purchaser of electrical components buys them in lots of size 10. It is his policy to inspect 3 components rendomly from a lot and to accept the lot only if all 3 are nondefective. If 30 percent of the lots have 4 defective components and 70 percent have only 1 what proportion of lots does the purchaser reject?

What percentage of i defective lots does the purchaser reject? Find it for i =1,4. Given that a lot is rejected, what is the conditional probability that it contained 4 defective components.

( I need the second part. I got the first question.)

Hypothesis Testing and Confidence Intervals

The Reliable Housewares store manager wants to learn more about the purchasing behavior of its

"credit" customers. In fact, he is speculating about four specific cases shown below (a) through (d) and

wants you to help him test their accuracy.

b. The true population proportion of credit customers who live in an urban area exceeds 55%

i. Using the dataset provided in Files perform the hypothesis test for each of the above speculations (a) through (d) in order to see if there is an statistical evidence to support the manager’s belief. In each case,

oUse the

Seven Elements of a Test of Hypothesis, in Section 7.1 of your textbook (on or about Page 361) or the Six Steps of Hypothesis Testing I have identified in the addendum.

oUse α=2%for all your analyses,

oExplain your conclusion in simple terms,

oIndicate which hypothesis is the“claim”,

o Compute the p-value,

o Interpret your results,

ii.Follow your work in (i) with computing a 98% confidence interval for each of the variables

described in (a) though (d). Interpret these intervals.

iii.

Write an executive summary for the Reliable Housewares store manager about your analysis,

distilling down the results in a way that would be understandable to someone who does not

know statistics. Clear explanations and interpretations are critical.

Please note that for all problems in this course, the standard cut-off (alpha) for a test of significance will be .05, and you always report the exact power unless SPSS output states p=.000 (you’d report p<.001). Also, remember that we divide the p value in half when reporting one-tailed tests with 1 – 2 groups.

Problem Set 3: (8 pts)

This study investigated the cognitive effects of stimulant medication in children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Shown below are data for the Connors’ Continuous Performance Test (CPT) for 15 children diagnosed with ADHD. This is a visual vigilance task that requires the child to respond to the computer screen any time they see any letter other than “X”. An overall index is calculated that can be used to indicate attention problems based on reaction time, omission errors, and variability of responses. A higher number indicates more problems with attention.

Children were given various daily dosages of a drug methylphenidate (MPH) – given 0, 5mg, 10mg, and 25mg). The order of doses was counterbalanced so that all children received all doses at one point in the experiment. The children were on each dose one week before taking the CPT test (so each child took the test four times).
