Three different methods for assembling a product were proposed by an industrial engineer. To investigate the number of units assembled correctly with each method, 30 employees were randomly selected and randomly assigned to the three proposed methods in such a way that each method was used by 10 workers. The number of units assembled correctly was recorded, and the analysis of variance procedure was applied to the resulting data set.
The following results were obtained: SST = 10,840; SSTR = 4,580. Set up the ANOVA table for this problem (to 2 decimals, if necessary). Round p-value to four decimal places. Source of Variation Sum of Squares Degrees of Freedom Mean Square F p-value Treatments Error Total

Consider a large ferry that can accommodate cars and buses. The toll for cars is $3, and the toll for buses is $10. Let x and y denote the number of cars and buses, respectively, carried on a single trip. Cars and buses are accommodated on different levels of the ferry, so the number of buses accommodated on any trip is independent of the number of cars on the trip. Suppose that x and y have the probability distributions shown below:

The amounts of electricity bills for all households in a particular city have approximately normal distribution with a mean of $140 and a standard deviation of $30. A researcher took random samples of 25 electricity bills for a certain study.
a. Based on this information, what is the expected value of the mean of the sampling distribution of mean?
b. What is the standard error of the sampling distribution of mean?
c. If his one sample of 25 bills has an average cost of $155, what is the z-score that represents the location of this value in the sampling distribution?
d. What is the probability of getting this result or greater (enter as a percentage - if your percentage is less than one full percent enter a zero before the decimal point)?
e. Assuming that z-scores greater than +2 or less than -2 are unlikely to occur due to sampling error alone, is this a likely or unlikely result?

To illustrate the effects of driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol, a police officer brought a DUI simulator to a local high school. Student reaction time in an emergency was measured with unimpaired vision and also while wearing a pair of special goggles to simulate the effects of alcohol on vision. For a random sample of nine teenagers, the time (in seconds) required to bring the vehicle to a stop from a speed of 60 miles per hour was recorded. Complete parts (a) and (b). Note: A normal probability plot and boxplot of the data indicate that the differences are approximately normally distributed with no outliers.
Subject Normal, Xi Impaired, Yi
1 4.47 5.86
2 4.24 5.67
3 4.58 5.45
4 4.56 5.32
5 4.31 5.90
6 4.83 5.49
7 4.55 5.23
8 5.00 5.61
9 4.79 5.63
(a) Whether the student had unimpaired vision or wore goggles first was randomly selected. Why is this a good idea in designing the experiment?
A.
This is a good idea in designing the experiment because the sample size is not large enough.
B.
This is a good idea in designing the experiment because it controls for any "learning" that may occur in using the simulator.
C.
This is a good idea in designing the experiment because reaction times are different.
(b) Use a 95% confidence interval to test if there is a difference in braking time with impaired vision and normal vision where the differences are computed as "impaired minus normal."
The lower bound is __?__.
The upper bound is __?__.
(Round to the nearest thousandth as needed.)
State the appropriate conclusion. Choose the correct answer below.
There is insufficient evidence to conclude there is a difference in braking time with impaired vision and normal vision.
There is sufficient evidence to conclude there is a difference in braking time with impaired vision and normal vision.

Two assemblages of lithic scrapters were excavated from different levels in a cave site
Level 1:
Sample mean: 14.83
Variance: 7.05
Sample Size: 63
Level 2:
Sample Mean: 14.17
Variance: 5.49
Sample Size: 47
From superficial examination, they seem to differ. However, your job is to test whether the difference between the samples from the two levels represent a significant difference between the two occupations. Lets use a 0.05 significance level for this analysis
Step 1: Frame this is a way amenable to testing, with both research and null hypotheses.
Step 2: Calculate the pooled standard error of means
Step 3: Calculate the t value
Step 4: Calculate the degrees of freedom, and find the corresponding critical t-value from a t-table (keep in mind that we are using the two-tailed test).
Step 5: Compare the calculated and critical values. What is your conclusion?

Problem 1 : Consider a binomial random variable X ∼ Bin(100, 0.01). 1. Report P(X = 7), P(X = 8), P(X = 9), try to use one ONE R command to return all these three values. 2. Find the probability P(0 ≤ X < 5), be careful when treating “end points” 0 and 5. 3. We have mentioned on the class Possion distribution could be a good approximation of Binomial distribution under certain conditions. Here, n = 100, p = 0.01, np = 1 looks satisfy the condition that the pmf of X can be approximated by a suitable Possion random variable Y . What is λ of Y ? Compute P(X = i), P(Y = i), i = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 to show the goodness of the approximation.
Problem 2 : Answer the following questions: 1. First run alphas <- seq(0.1, 1, by = 0.1) and nalphas <- - rev(alphas). Based on what you have seen, decribe how functions seq and rev work. Then run qnorm(c(nalphas, alphas)) and report the result you get. What are they? What pattern did you notice and why? 2. Use the function rnorm to genearate 10000 random numbers from N(50, 4), store those random numbers into a vector called firstrn. It is expected that the sample mean of firstrn should be close to the population mean 50. Use the function mean to verify this. 3. Suppose X ∼ Possion(2). Report the probability that P(1 < X ≤ 5). Show the code you used to reach this answer.
Problem 3 : In lab lecture notes and demo code, I simulated random samples from Exp(1) to verify classical central limit theorem numerically. I also stressed that no matter what type of random samples you use, the standardized partial sum Sn always converge to N(0, 1). In this problem, simulate random samples from the following distributions: 1. Bernoulli(0.5) with µ = 0.5 and σ2 = 0.25. (Hint: You can use rbinom to generate Bernoulli random numbers.) 1 2. Uniform(0, 1) with µ = 0.5 and σ2 = 1/12. 3. Possion(1) with µ = 1 and σ2 = 1. For each case, set simulation times N to be 1000 and for each simulation, generate n = 2000 random numbers. Report 3 pieces of code, 3 Q-Q plots and your conclusion. To get all the answers, you only need slightly adjust my demo code

A sample on nine public universities and nine private universities was taken. The total cost for the year (including room and board) and median SAT score (maximum total is 2400) at each school were recorded. It was felt that schools with higher median SAT scores would have a better reputation and would charge more tuition as a result of that. The data is in the table below. Uss regression to help answer the following questions based on this sample data. Do schools with higher SAT scores charge more in tuition and fees? Are private schools more expensive than public school when SAT scores are taken into consideration.
