  1. Explain, what type of data would it be most appropriate to use a mean and what type of data would it be most appropriate to use a proportion?
  2. We typically use the t distribution when working with means, and yet we always use the normal (z) distribution when working with proportions. Try to explain in your own words why this is the case.
  3. Write TWO situations: (a) one that can be answered using a z-interval for a proportion, (b) one that can be answered using a t-interval for a mean.

The mean amount of time that a randomly selected mouse finds its way out of a maze is 18 seconds. A researcher thought that a loud noise would make the mouse to finish the maze faster (her theory). She conducted an experiment to test her theory by placing a mouse in the maze and measuring how long it takes to finish the maze with a loud noise as stimulus. She randomly sampled 25 mice and measured their times. The average was found to be 16.8 seconds. Assume that the standard deviation of the population of mice is 4.4 seconds. Conduct a test (her theory) at a 5% significance level.

(a) Check the required conditions for a hypothesis test to determine if they are satisfied.

(b) Describe, in words, what ?? would represent in this case and state the hypotheses (??0, ????) using ??.

(c) Calculate the test statistic and the p-value. (d) Determine whether we reject the null hypothesis OR fail to reject the null hypothesis at a 5% significance level.

(e) Write an appropriate conclusion in the context of the problem.

(f) If we use a 10% significance level (instead of using a 5% significance level), would we still reject the null hypothesis OR fail to reject the null hypothesis?

1.Stephen is a basketball player who makes 82 % of his free throws over the course of a season. Each day, Stephen shoots 70 free throws during practice. Assume that each day constitutes a simple random sample, SRS, of all free throws shot by Stephen, and that each free throw is independent of the rest. Let the random variable X equal the count of free throws that Stephen makes. Compute the probability that Stephen makes at least 56 free throws using the binomial distribution. Report your answer to at least four decimal places of precision.

2.Using the normal approximation to the binomial, compute this same probability again. First, compute μ X , the mean of X , and report to two decimal places of precision.

1. A city instituted an educational program that hopefully would reduce the number of violent crimes committed in the city. The program is quite expensive, so the city wants to make sure that it is worthwhile. In the past (before the educational program was tried), the city experienced 5.2 violent crimes per day, on average. A few months after trying the educational program, the city randomly sampled 60 days and found the average of 4.5 violent crimes. Assume that the standard deviation is known to be 2.7 crimes. The city wants to conduct a hypothesis test at a 5% significance level to determine if the data provide convincing evidence that the educational program is effective in reducing violent crimes in the city.

(explanation please)

(a) Check the required conditions for a hypothesis test to determine if they are satisfied.

(b) Describe, in words, what ?? would represent in this case.

(c) State the hypotheses, ??0 and ????, using the parameter ??.

(d) Using the sample data, calculate the test statistic.

(e) Using the test statistic in (d), calculate the p-value.

(f) Using the p-value in (e), determine whether the city would reject the null hypothesis OR fail to reject the null hypothesis at a 5% significance level.

(g) Write an appropriate conclusion in the context of the problem.

The salinity, or salt content, in the ocean is expressed in parts per thousand (ppt). The number varies with depth, rainfall, evaporation, river runoff, and ice formation. The mean salinity of the oceans is 35 ppt. Suppose the distribution of salinity is normal and the standard deviation is 0.51 ppt, and suppose a random sample of ocean water from a region in a specific ocean is obtained.

What is the probability that the salinity is more than 36 ppt? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

_____________

What is the probability that the salinity is less than 33.5 ppt? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

____________

A certain species of fish can only survive if the salinity is between 33 and 35 ppt. What is the probability that this species can survive in a randomly selected area? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

The Bolt Beverages Company must decide whether or not to introduce a new sparkling drink. Management feels that if it pushes through with introducing the sparkling drink, it will yield a profit of $1 million if sales are around 100 million, a profit of $200,000 if sales are around 50 million, or it will lose $2 million if sales are only around 1 million bottles. If Bolt Beverages Company does not market the new sparkling drink, it will suffer a loss of $400,000.

1. The management is taking a pessimistic view. It is to the company's best interest to introduce the new sparkling drink.

ture or false

2. The management is taking a pessimistic view. It is to the company's best interest to introduce the new sparkling drink.

ture or false

3. The management wants to minimize regret. It is to the company's best interest not to introduce the new sparkling drink.

ture or false

4.  Refer to the question above on Bolt Beverages.

The marketing department has found out that:

P (100 million in sales) = 1/3; P(50 million in sales) = 1/2; P(1 million in sales) = 1/6.

Should Bolt Beverages introduce the new sparkling drink?

Yes, introduce the drink. The EMV is approximately $1 million

Yes, introduce the drink. The EMV is approximately $267,000

Yes, introduce the drink. The EMV is approximately $100,000

No, do not introduce the drink. The EMV is approximately ($400,000).
