Chapter 10: Q 3. (page 639)

I want red! Refer to Exercise 1.

a. Find the probability that the proportion of red jelly beans in the Child sample is less than or equal to the proportion of red jelly beans in the Adult sample, assuming that the company鈥檚 claim is true.

b. Suppose that the Child and Adult samples contain an equal proportion of red jelly beans. Based on your result in part (a), would this give you reason to doubt the

company鈥檚 claim? Explain your reasoning.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. P(z<-2.03)=0.2118

b. There is reason to doubt company's claim.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

It is given that 渭=0.15

蟽=0.07399

02

Calculating the Probability

We know that z=x-渭蟽

=0-0.150.07399=-2.03

From standard normal distribution table, P(z<-2.03)=0.2118

=2.118%

03

Reason for Company's Claim

As P(z<-2.03)=2.118%, which is very small.

It gives reason to doubt company's claim.

Flight times The pilot suspects that the Dubai-to-Doha outbound flight typically takes longer. If so, the difference (Outbound鈭扲eturn) in flight times will be positive on more days than it is negative. What if either flight is equally likely to take longer? Then we can model the outcome on a randomly selected day with a coin toss. Heads means the Dubai-to-Doha outbound flight lasts longer; tails means the Doha-to-Dubai return flight lasts longer. To imitate a random sample of 12days, imagine tossing a fair coin 12times.

a. Find the probability of getting 11or more heads in 12tosses of a fair coin.

b. The outbound flight took longer on 11of the 12days. Based on your result in part (a), what conclusion would you make about the Emirates pilot鈥檚 suspicion?

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 each fish in a random sample of 18carp and use

a. the paired t test for 渭diff3051526=0.200=20.0%渭diff.

b. the one-sample z test for p.

c. the two-sample t test for 渭1-渭23051526=0.200=20.0%渭1-渭2.

d. the two-sample z test for p1-p23051526=0.200=20.0%p1-p2.

e. none of these.

Final grades for a class are approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 76and a standard deviation of 8. A professor says that the top10%of the class will receive an A, the next20%a B, the next 40%a C, the next 20%a D, and the bottom 10%an F. What is the approximate maximum grade a student could attain and still receive an F for the course?

A researcher wished to compare the average amount of time spent in extracurricular activities by high school students in a suburban school district with that in a school district of a large city. The researcher obtained an SRS of 60 high school students in a large suburban school district and found the mean time spent in extracurricular activities per week to be 6 hours with a standard deviation of 3 hours. The researcher also obtained an independent SRS of 40 high school students in a large city school district and found the mean time spent in extracurricular activities per week to be 5 hours with a standard deviation of 2 hours. Suppose that the researcher decides to carry out a significance test of H0:渭suburban=渭cityversus a two-sided alternative. Which is the correct standardized test statistic ?

(a)z=(6-5)-0360+240

(b) z=(6-5)-03260+2240

(c) role="math" localid="1654192807425" t=(6-5)-0360+240

(d) t=(6-5)-0360+240

(e)t=(6-5)-03260+2240

Sorting the music Student researchers Adam, Edward, and Kian wondered

if music would affect performance for certain tasks. To find out, they had student volunteers sort a shuffled set of 26 playing cards by face value and by color. Nineteen of the 38 volunteers were randomly assigned to listen to music during the sorting, while the others listened to no music. Here are parallel boxplots of the time in seconds that it took to sort the cards for the students in each group:

Do these data give convincing evidence of a difference in the true mean sorting times at the 伪=0.103051526=0.200=20.0%伪=0.10significance level?

a. State appropriate hypotheses for performing a significance test. Be sure to define the parameters of interest.

b. Check if the conditions for performing the test are met.
