A school psychologist believes that a popular new hypnosis technique increases depression. The psychologist collects a sample of 25 students and gives them the hypnosis once a week for two months. Afterwards the students fill out a depression inventory in which their average score was 53.88. Normal individuals in the population have a depression inventory average of 50 with a variance of 100.00. What can the psychologist conclude with α = 0.01?

A genetic experiment involving peas yielded one sample of offspring consisting of 416 green peas and 144 yellow peas. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that under the same circumstances, 23% of offspring peas will be yellow. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P value, conclusion about the null hypothesis, and the final conclusion that addresses the The original claim. Use the P value method and the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution.

1. One of the most important measures of the quality of service provided by any firm is the speed with which it responds to customer complaints. Comcast, a U.S. global telecommunications conglomerate, wants to greatly improve its customer satisfaction. Comcast states the desired mean call time involving customer complaints is 12 minutes (including wait time). Assume the standard deviation is known to be 0.15 minutes. A sample of 70 customer calls yields a mean time of 12.14 minutes. This sample will be used to obtain a 99% confidence interval for the mean time of a customer complaint call. Round final answers to two decimal places. Solutions only.

(A) The critical value to use in obtaining the confidence interval is.

(B) The confidence interval goes from to.

(C) True, False, or Uncertain: The confidence interval indicates that Comcast is not meeting its goal.

(D) True, False, or Uncertain: The confidence interval is valid only if the length of calls are normally distributed

(E) Suppose the manager had decided to estimate the mean call time to within 0.03 minutes with 99% confidence. Then the sample size would be?

Ada Nixon, a student, has just begun a 30-question, multiple-choice exam. For each question, there is exactly one correct answer out of four possible choices. Unfortunately, Ada hasn't prepared well for this exam and has decided to randomly select an answer choice for each question.

(a) (4 points) For a given question, what is the probability Ada picks the correct answer, assuming each answer choice is equally likely to be selected?

(b) Assume the number of questions Ada answers correctly is Binomially distributed.

i. (4 points) What is the average number of questions Ada will answer correctly? Show your work and round your nal answer to 1 decimal place.

ii. (3 points) If Ada answers at least 16 questions correctly, she will receive a passing grade. What is the probability that Ada receives a passing grade? Show your work, including any calculator functions you use, and round your nal answer to 3 decimal places.

(c) (3 points) Suppose Ada comes across a question for which she knows two of the answer choices are certainly wrong, which means the correct answer must be one of the two remaining choices. Assuming Ada will answer every other question using the same random selection procedure as before, will the number of questions she answers correctly remain binomially distributed? State Yes or No and explain why

A random sample is drawn from a normally distributed population with mean μ = 19 and standard deviation σ = 1.8. [You may find it useful to reference the z table.]

a. Are the sampling distribution of the sample mean with n = 27 and n = 54 normally distributed?

Yes, both the sample means will have a normal distribution.

No, both the sample means will not have a normal distribution.

No, only the sample mean with n = 27 will have a normal distribution.

No, only the sample mean with n = 54 will have a normal distribution.

b. Calculate the probabilities that the sample mean is less than 19.9 for both sample sizes. (Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places, “z” value to 2 decimal places, and final answer to 4 decimal places.)

Flair Furniture Company produces inexpensive tables and chairs. The production process for each is similar in that both require a certain number of labor hours in the carpentry department and a certain number of labor hours in the painting department. Each table takes 3 hours of carpentry work, an hour and a half of assembly and 2 hours of finishing work. Each chair requires 4 hours of carpentry, and hour and 15 minutes of assembly and 1 hour of painting. During the current month, 2,400 hours of carpentry time, 800 hours of assembly time and 1,000 hours of painting time are available. Each table sold results in a profit contribution of $7, and each chair sold yields a profit contribution of $5.

b. Identify the binding and nonbinding constraints and explain what it means.

c. Construct the sensitivity range for the objective function coefficients. Give an interpretation for each range.

d. Construct the sensitivity range for the right hand side coefficient of constraints. Give an interpretation for each range and the corresponding shadow price of all the constraints.

the music on a music player can be stored digitally in several formats. a popular format for a digital music player is aiffshort for Audio Interchange File Format. Another format is known as​ AAC, short for Advanced Audio Coding. Files on a digital music player can be in either of these formats or both. The 25 songs in this data set use a mixture of these two formats. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (d) below. Create a dummy variable using the arc format as the baseline category to represent the format of the song in the data file and then fit the regression model for how much space is needed to store a song based on the length of a song. write down the regression model including the estimates of the intercepts

A study of the career paths of hotel general managers sent questionnaires to an SRS of 210 hotels belonging to major U.S. hotel chains. There were 88 responses. The average time these 88 general managers had spent with their current company was 12.7 years. (Take it as known that the standard deviation of time with the company for all general managers is 3.6 years.)
