A tire manufacturer produces tires that have a mean life of at least 30000 miles when the production process is working properly. The operations manager stops the production process if there is evidence that the mean tire life is below 30000 miles.
The testable hypotheses in this situation are H0:μ=30000H0:μ=30000 vs HA:μ<30000HA:μ<30000.
1. Identify the consequences of making a Type I error.
A. The manager stops production when it is not
necessary.
B. The manager stops production when it is
necessary.
C. The manager does not stop production when it is
not necessary.
D. The manager does not stop production when it is
necessary.
2. Identify the consequences of making a Type II error.
A. The manager stops production when it is
necessary.
B. The manager does not stop production when it is
necessary.
C. The manager does not stop production when it is
not necessary.
D. The manager stops production when it is not
necessary.
To monitor the production process, the operations manager takes a random sample of 30 tires each week and subjects them to destructive testing. They calculate the mean life of the tires in the sample, and if it is less than 29000, they will stop production and recalibrate the machines. They know based on past experience that the standard deviation of the tire life is 2750 miles.
3. What is the probability that the manager will make a Type I error using this decision rule? Round your answer to four decimal places.
4. Using this decision rule, what is the power of the test if the actual mean life of the tires is 28750 miles? That is, what is the probability they will reject H0H0 when the actual average life of the tires is 28750 miles? Round your answer to four decimal places.

Iconic memory is a type of memory that holds visual information for about half a second (0.5 seconds). To demonstrate this type of memory, participants were shown three rows of four letters for 50 milliseconds. They were then asked to recall as many letters as possible, with a 0-, 0.5-, or 1.0-second delay before responding. Researchers hypothesized that longer delays would result in poorer recall. The number of letters correctly recalled is given in the table.
| Delay Before Recall | ||

| 10 | 6 | 2 |

(b) Compute Tukey's HSD post hoc test and interpret the results.
(Assume alpha equal to 0.05. Round your answer to two decimal
places.)
The critical value is for each pairwise comparison.
Which of the comparisons had significant differences? (Select all
that apply.)
Recall following no delay was significantly different from recall following a one second delay. The null hypothesis of no difference should be retained because none of the pairwise comparisons demonstrate a significant difference. Recall following no delay was significantly different from recall following a half second delay. Recall following a half second delay was significantly different from recall following a one second delay.

On a multiple choice examination, each question has exactly five options, of which the student must pick one. Only one option is correct for each question. If the student is merely guessing at the answer, each option should be equally likely to be chosen. Given that the test has 18 questions, and that a student is just guessing on each question, find the probability of the following events: (a) exactly three are correct, (b) fewer than five are correct, (c) between two and sever answers are correct.

A new blood clotting drug has been developed and researcher are interested to see if the new drug out performs the most commonly used treatment. 6 patients were given the new drug and 7 patients were given the old drug. The clotting times were recorded (lower times are better). The data are:

a: there is no difference in clotting times
b: the old drug clots faster
c: the new drug clots faster
d: there is a difference in clotting times
2: What is the value of the test statistic?
3: How many degrees of freedom are there?
