Four holes must be drilled in a casting which forms the housing for an electric motor. The holes may be located and drilled without the aid of a jig by a skilled machinist whose wage rate is $26 per hour. His production time will be 3.5 minutes per housing. A jig could be built at a cost of $600 permitting the holes to be drilled by a machinist at a lower skill level. In this case the lower wage rate would be $19 per hour and the production rate would be four minutes per housing. Which alternative would you recommend if 2,200 housings are to be produced?

For all problems below, use correct notation where appropriate.
Round all proportions to 3 d.p. and standard errors to 4 d.p.
1. (up to 5 EC pts) Do we dream in color? In the 1940s, before the age of television,
color movies, and video games, 29% of the American population reported dreaming in
color. A psychologist suspects that the present-day proportion might be higher, now
that we are surrounded with color imagery. In a random sample of 113 people, 92
reported dreaming in color (Schwitzgebel 2003).
a) State the parameter to be tested. Be specific and use the appropriate notation.
b) Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the psychologist’s suspicion is
correct. Clearly show all 7 steps as shown in the lecture notes. Complete each
step by hand. Be sure to state the hypotheses in words and symbols.
c) In the context of this problem, what would it mean if we made a Type I error?
What is the probability of making this kind of error? (See 8.1,8.2 lecture notes.)
