assume the coach wanted a reliable estimate of her ability to play and allowed him to hit 10 rounds and took the average number of strokes of those 10 rounds. His rounds were: 72 74 69 72 71 72 71 72 72 73 Is there sufficient evidence to suggest that her true average is less than 73? Perform the 6 step hypothesis test at the alpha = .01 level of significance to find out! You may assume that her round scores come from a normal distribution. Be sure to include the appropriate confidence interval (the one that will always “agree” with your test) in your conclusion.

The mayor of a town has proposed a plan for the construction of a new community. A political study took a sample of 900 voters in the town and found that 75% of the residents favored construction. Using the data, a political strategist wants to test the claim that the percentage of residents who favor construction is more than 72%. Testing at the 0.05 level, is there enough evidence to support the strategist's claim?

A manufacturer of banana chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 422 gram setting. It is believed that the machine is underfilling the bags. A 25 bag sample had a mean of 418 grams with a standard deviation of 16. A level of significance of 0.1 will be used. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. State the null and alternative hypotheses.

Industrial wastes and sewage dumped into our rivers and streams absorb oxygen and thereby reduce the...

Industrial wastes and sewage dumped into our rivers and streams absorb oxygen and thereby reduce the amount of dissolved oxygen available for fish and other forms of aquatic life. One state agency requires a minimum of 5 parts per million (ppm) of dissolved oxygen in order for the oxygen content to be sufficient to support aquatic life. A pollution control inspector suspected that a river community was releasing amounts of semitreated sewage into a river. To check his theory, he drew five randomly selected specimens of river water at a location above the town, and another five below. The dissolved oxygen readings (in parts per million) are as follows.

Above Town 4.7 5.2 5.0 4.8 5.2
Below Town 4.9 4.6 4.8 4.8 5.0

(a) Do the data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that the mean oxygen content below the town is less than the mean oxygen content above? Test using α = 0.05. (Use μ1 for the population mean for the above town location and μ2 for the population mean for the below town location.)

State the test statistic. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
t =  
State the rejection region. (If the test is one-tailed, enter NONE for the unused region. Round your answers to three decimal places.)

t >  

t <
State the conclusion.


(b) Suppose you prefer estimation as a method of inference. Estimate the difference in the mean dissolved oxygen contents (in ppm) for locations above and below the town. Use a 95% confidence interval. (Use μ1μ2. Round your answers to three decimal places.)

a.

Calculate the Mean Absolute Deviation for F1 and F2. Which is more accurate? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

        

  MAD F1   
  MAD F2   

         

    (Click to select)F1F2None appears to be more accurate.

Calculate the Mean Squared Error for F1 and F2. Which is more accurate? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

        

  MSE F1   
  MSE F2   

        

  (Click to select)F1F2None appears to be more accurate.

         

c.

You can choose which forecast is more accurate, by calculating these two error methods. When would you use MAD? When would you us MSE?

Hint: Control charts are related to MSE; tracking signals are related to MAD.

        

Either one might already be in use, familiar to users, and have past values for comparison. If (Click to select)tracking signalscontrol charts are used, MSE would be natural; if (Click to select)control chartstracking signals are used, MAD would be more natura

Let us assume that these are representative of the pattern of orders that they anticipate seeing in 2018.

  1. Are the events “Toy” and “Rest of the World” independent? Explain.
  2. The rows of the table are mutually exclusive categories. How would our summary be complicated if some orders were for multiple products?
  1. 54.5% of Archway’s orders come from North America, 31.5% from Europe and the remaining 14% from the rest of the world. Among North American customers, 3% complained about late or lost deliveries. Similarly, complaints were received from 8% of European customers and 15% of customers from the rest of the world.
  1. Construct a probability tree that shows all combinations of where orders originated and whether customers complained. Label all branches in terms of what the event is on the branch and the corresponding probability (e.g., P(A), PA’), P(B|A), P(B’|A),…). Also determine the probability for each ending joint event (e.g., P(Europe and Complain)).
  2. Summarize all of the joint probabilities in a probability table.
  3. What percentage of Archway customers complained about delivery problems?
  4. Among those who complained, what percentage were from Europe?
