Chapter 10: Q.3 (page 664)

The power takeoff driveline on tractors used in agriculture is a potentially serious hazard to operators of farm equipment. The driveline is covered by a shield in new tractors, but for a variety of reasons, the shield is often missing on older tractors. Two types of shields are the bolt-on and the flip-up. It was believed that the bolt-on shield was perceived as a nuisance by the operators and deliberately removed, but the flip-up shield is easily lifted for inspection and maintenance and may be left in place. In a study initiated by the U.S. National Safety Council, random samples of older tractors with both types of shields were taken to see what proportion of shields were removed. Of 183tractors designed to have bolt-on shields, 35 had been removed. Of the 136 tractors with flip-up shields, 15 were removed. We wish to perform a test of H0:pb-pif versus Ha:pb鈮�pf where pb and pf are the proportions of all tractors with the bolt-on and flip-up shields removed, respectively. Which of the following conditions for performing the appropriate significance test is definitely not satisfied in this case?

(a) Both populations are Normally distributed.

(b) The data come from two independent samples.

(c) Both samples were chosen at random.

(d) The counts of successes and failures are large enough to use Normal calculations.

(e) Both populations are at least 10 times the corresponding sample sizes

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct answer is (a) Both populations are Normally distributed.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The power takeoff driveline on tractors used in agriculture is a potentially serious hazard to operators of farm equipment.

02

Explanation

Conditions for performing a two-sample z-test: Random, Normal and Independent.

Random: Satisfied, because the samples have been given to be random samples.

Normal: Satisfied, because the number of successes (35,15)and failures localid="1650367462435" 183-35=148,136-15=121are at least 10.

Independent: Satisfied, because the sample sizes are less than 10%of the population size.

Thus all except for (a) has been satisfied. (a) cannot be satisfied, because the number of successes is not close to half the sample size and thus the distribution is not symmetric nor normal.

A better drug? In a pilot study, a company's new cholesterol-reducing drug outperforms the currently available drug. If the data provide convincing

evidence that the mean cholesterol reduction with the new drug is more than 10 milligrams per deciliter of blood (mg/dl) greater than with the current drug, the company will begin the expensive process of mass-producing the new drug. For the 14 subjects who were assigned at random to the current drug, the mean cholesterol reduction was 54.1mg/dlwith a standard deviation of 11.93mg/dl.For the 15 subjects who were randomly assigned to the new drug, the mean cholesterol reduction was 68.7mg/dlwith a standard deviation of13.3mg/dl.Graphs of the data reveal no outliers or strong skewness.

(a) Carry out an appropriate significance test. What conclusion would you draw? (Note that the null hypothesis is notH0:渭1-渭2=0-

(b) Based on your conclusion in part (a), could you have made a Type I error or a Type Il error? Justify your answer.

Which of the following is not a property of a binomial setting?

(a) Outcomes of different trials are independent.

(b) The chance process consists of a fixed number of trials,n

(c) The probability of success is the same for each trial.

(d) If we use a sample size of 30, the binomial distribution will be approximately Normal.

(e) Each trial can result in either a success or a failure.

A nuclear power plant releases water into a nearby lake every afternoon at 4:51p.m. Environmental researchers are concerned that fish are being driven away from the area around the plant. They believe that the temperature of the water discharged may be a factor. The scatterplot below shows the temperature of the water (掳C) released by the plant and the measured distance (in meters) from the outflow pipe of the plant to the nearest fish found in the water on eight randomly chosen afternoons.

Computer output from a least-squares regression analysis on these data is shown below.

(a) Write the equation of the least-squares regression line. Define any variables you use.

(b) Interpret the slope of the regression line in context.

(c) A residual plot for the regression is shown on the next page. Is a linear model appropriate for describing the relationship between temperature and distance to the nearest fish? Justify your answer.

(d) Does the linear model in part (a) overpredict or underpredict the measured distance from the outflow pipe to the nearest fish found in the water for a temperature of 29掳? Explain your reasoning.

There are two common methods for measuring the concentration of a pollutant in fish tissue. Do the two methods differ on average? You apply both methods to a random sample of 18carp and use

(a) the paired t-test for 渭d.

(b) the one-sample z test for p.

(c) the two-sample t-test for渭1-渭2

(d) the two-sample z test for p1-p2

(e) none of these.

Web business You want to compare the daily sales for two different designs of Web pages for your Internet business. You assign the next 60days to either Design A or Design B, 30days to each.

(a) Describe how you would assign the days for Design A and Design B using the partial line of random digits provided below. Then use your plan to select the first three days for using Design A. Show your method clearly on your paper.

(b) Would you use a one-sided or a two-sided significance test for this problem? Explain your choice. Then set up appropriate hypotheses.

(c) If you plan to use Table B to calculate the P-value, what are the degrees of freedom?

(d) The t statistic for comparing the mean sales is 2.06Using Table B, what P-value would you report? What would you conclude?
