Question 2: A club has 20 members. Five are seniors, four are juniors, two are sophomores and nine are freshmen. A. In how many ways can the club select a president, a secretary and a treasurer if every member is eligible for each position and no member can hold two positions? B. In how many ways can the club choose a group of 5 members to attend the annual meeting. C. In how many ways can the club choose a group of 5 members to attend annual meeting if two members must be seniors, and the remaining classes must be represented (one junior, one sophomore, and one freshman)? D. In how many ways can a committee be formed from the group members such that there is a chair and secretary along with 3 other voting members (assume again every member is eligible and the choice is without replacement)?

Softsoap is the trade name of Colgate-Palmolive's liquid hand soap and body wash. The company is concerned that the mean weight of their most popular size of Softsoap is not greater than 7.58 ounces. A sample of 16 Softsoap bottles is selected; the sample mean is 7.595 ounces, and the sample standard deviation is 0.025 ounces. Using α = .01, is there evidence that the population mean weight of all Softsoap bottles is significantly greater than 7.58 ounces? Do a complete and appropriate hypothesis test.

Step 1 (Hypotheses)

H0:   (Click to select)  σ  p  π  n  x-bar  s  μ     (Click to select)  =  ≠  ≤  >  ≥  <    

HA:   (Click to select)  μ  x-bar  π  p  σ  s  n     (Click to select)  =  ≠  ≤  >  ≥  <    

Step 2 (Decision rule)

Using only the appropriate statistical table in your textbook, the critical value for rejecting H0 is  (Click to select)  +  -  ±   . (report your answer to 3 decimal places, using conventional rounding rules)

Step 3 (Test statistic)

Using the sample data, the calculated value of the test statistic is  (Click to select)  +  -  ±   . (report your answer to 4 decimal places, using conventional rounding rules)

Step 4 (Evaluate the null hypothesis)

Should the null hypothesis be rejected?   (Click to select)  yes  no   

Step 5 (Practical conclusion)

Should the company conclude that the population mean weight of the Softsoap bottles is significantly greater than 7.58 ounces?   (Click to select)  yes  no   

Using only the appropriate statistical table in your textbook, what is the most accurate statement you can make about the numerical value of the p-value of this hypothesis test?       

Answer:  (provide a one-sentence statement about the p-value)

1. Jade is renovating his bathroom and as part of the renovations a plumber is required to install a new shower. The budget for this part of the renovations is $1000. An industry expert has told Jade that the probability that a randomly selected plumber in Auckland will be able to do the job for $1000 or less is 0.55, and that a list of plumbers located in Auckland is available from the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board website. There are a very large number of plumbers in Auckland.

(a) Suppose that Jade randomly selects 10 plumbers from the list of Auckland plumbers. What is the probability that exactly 2 plumbers will be able to install the new shower for $1000 or less?Answer this question using the appropriate mathematical formula.

(b) What is the probability that Jade will have to call at least 4 plumbers to find one that can do the job for $1000 or less?
Answer this question using the appropriate mathematical formula.

(c) What is the expected number of calls that Jade will have to make to find a plumber who can do the job for $1000 or less? What is the variance of the number of calls?

(d) Of the plumbers that will install the shower for $1000 or less, the cost of the job (in dollars) has a uniform distribution on the interval (450,1000). What is the expected value and variance for the cost of installing the shower?

(e) Suppose that Jade wants to select a plumber close to where he lives. Within his suburb there are 10 plumbers available and of these, 6 would do the job for $1000 or less. What is the probability that Jade will have to call exactly 4 plumbers before finding one who will do the job for $1000 or less? (i.e. the 4th plumber called will do the job).

An engineer designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The engineer designed the valve such that it would produce a mean pressure of 7.2 pounds/square inch. It is believed that the valve performs above the specifications. The valve was tested on 250 engines and the mean pressure was 7.3 pounds/square inch. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 0.9. A level of significance of 0.1 will be used. Determine the decision rule.
