Researchers at a food company are interested in how a new ketchup made from green tomatoes (and green in color) will compare to their traditional red ketchup. They are worried that the green color will adversely affect the tastiness scores. They randomly assign subjects to either the green or red ketchup condition. Subjects indicate the tastiness of the sauce on a 20-point scale. Tastiness scores tend to be skewed. The scores follow:

Problem 2.22 (modified from Montgomery, 9th edition) The mean shelf life of a carbonated drink should exceed 120 days. Ten bottles are randomly selected and tested, and the results below are obtained: shelf life (days) = {108, 124, 124, 106, 115, 138, 163, 159, 134, 139} a) Clearly state the hypothesis to be tested, first in English and then in mathematical expressions for H0 and H1. b) Test the hypothesis at significance level 0.01. Report both the p-value and a 99% confidence interval to support your conclusion. Be sure to clearly state your conclusion in plain English and within the context of the problem.

A person's blood glucose level and diabetes are closely related. Let x be a random variable measured in milligrams of glucose per deciliter (1/10 of a liter) of blood. Suppose that after a 12-hour fast, the random variable x will have a distribution that is approximately normal with mean μ = 88 and standard deviation σ = 28. Note: After 50 years of age, both the mean and standard deviation tend to increase. For an adult (under 50) after a 12-hour fast, find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

(a) x is more than 60


(b) x is less than 110


(c) x is between 60 and 110


(d) x is greater than 125 (borderline diabetes starts at 125)

Consider a random sample of 200 one-way commute distances (in miles) from Radcliffe College to a student’s primary place of residence. The sample mean is 10.33 miles and the sample standard deviation is 3.77 miles. What percent of students sampled live between 0.81 and 19.85 miles from Radcliffe College? Suppose a student lived 25 miles from Radcliffe College. Would this commute distance be considered an outlier?

The following should be performed using R and the R code included in your submission.

To obtain first prize in a lottery, you need to correctly choose n different numbers from N and 1 number from 20, known as the supplementary. That is we first draw n numbers from 1:N without replacement and then 1 number from 1:20 in another draw. Suppose n=7 and N=35. Let X be the number of drawn numbers that match your selection, where the supplementary counts as 8, so that X=0,…,15. For a first prize X=15 i.e. all numbers are matched.

(a) Calculate probabilities P(X=x), x=0, 1, …, 7, without and with the supplementary. Plot the distribution function and the cumulative distribution function. Hint: Part of the answer involves the hypergeometric.

(b) Using R, generate 1,000,000 random numbers from this distribution and plot a histogram of the simulated data.

(c) Calculate the expected value, E(X), and the variance, σ2 (or Var(X)). Obtain the mean and the variance of the simulated data. Compare the estimates with the theoretical parameters.

(d) Assume that each week 10,000,000 entries are lodged, for a single draw. What is the value of � from the Poisson approximation to the number of entries with a first prize? Use the Poisson approximation for the following. What is the probability that there will be no entry with a first prize? What is the expected number of weeks until the first prize?
