Restaurant power problems Refer to Exercises 86 and 88

a. Explain one disadvantage of using 伪=0.10 instead of 伪=0.05 when

performing the test.

b. Explain one disadvantage of taking a random sample of 50 people instead of 30 people.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a) There is the most likely to have a type I error.

Part (b) There is more time consuming and costly to collect the data.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

伪=0.05H0:渭=$85,000渭>$85,000渭=$86,000
02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

Type I error: Reject the null hypothesis H0, once the null hypothesis H0is true.

伪Showing the probability of a type I error.

If you increase 伪=0.05to伪=0.10 the likelihood of making a type I error increases, and you're more likely to make one, which is a negative.

03

Part (b) Step 1: Explanation

If the sample size is increased from 30to 50persons, collecting data for the 50people will take longer and cost more money than collecting data for the 30people (as there are about twice as many potatoes about which we need to gather information.).

How much juice? One company鈥檚 bottles of grapefruit juice are filled by a machine that is set to dispense an average of 180 milliliters (ml) of liquid. The company has been getting negative feedback from customers about underfilled bottles. To investigate, a quality-control inspector takes a random sample of 40 bottles and measures the volume of liquid in each bottle. The mean amount of liquid in the bottles is 179.6 ml and the standard deviation is 1.3 ml. Do these data provide convincing evidence at the伪=0.05significance level that the machine is underfilling the bottles?

Watching grass grow The germination rate of seeds is defined as the proportion of seeds that sprout and grow when properly planted and watered. A certain variety of grass seed usually has a germination rate of 0.80. A company wants to see if spraying the seeds with a chemical that is known to increase germination rates in other species will increase the germination rate of this variety of grass. The company researchers spray a random sample of 400grass seeds with the chemical, and 339of the seeds germinate. Do these data provide convincing evidence at the 伪=0.05 significance level that the chemical is

effective for this variety of grass?

Fast connection? How long does it take for a chunk of information to travel

from one server to another and back on the Internet? According to the site

internettrafficreport.com, the average response time is 200 milliseconds (about one-fifth of a second). Researchers wonder if this claim is true, so they collect data on response times (in milliseconds) for a random sample of 14 servers in Europe. A graph of the data reveals no strong skewness or outliers.

a. State an appropriate pair of hypotheses for a significance test in this setting. Be sure to define the parameter of interest.

b. Check conditions for performing the test in part (a).

c. The 95% confidence interval for the mean response time is 158.22 to 189.64

milliseconds. Based on this interval, what conclusion would you make for a test of the hypotheses in part (a) at the 5% significance level?

d. Do we have convincing evidence that the mean response time of servers in the United States is different from 200 milliseconds? Justify your answer.

You are testing H0:渭=10 against Ha:渭鈮�10 based on an SRS of 15

observations from a Normal population. What values of the t statistic are statistically significant at the 伪=0.005 level?

a.t>3.326b.t>3.286c.t>2.977d.t<鈭�3.326ort>3.326e.t<鈭�3.286ort>3.286

Packaging DVDs (6.2,5.3) A manufacturer of digital video discs (DVDs) wants to be sure that the DVDs will fit inside the plastic cases used as packaging. Both the cases and the DVDs are circular. According to the supplier, the diameters of the plastic cases vary Normally with mean 渭=5.3inches and standard deviation 蟽=0.01inch. The DVD manufacturer produces DVDs with mean diameter渭=5.26inches. Their diameters follow a Normal distribution with 蟽=0.02inch.

a. Let X = the diameter of a randomly selected case and Y = the diameter of a randomly selected DVD. Describe the shape, center, and variability of the distribution of the random variable X鈭扽. What is the importance of this random variable to the DVD manufacturer?

b. Calculate the probability that a randomly selected DVD will fit inside a randomly selected case.

c. The production process runs in batches of 100 DVDs. If each of these DVDs is paired with a randomly chosen plastic case, find the probability that all the DVDs fit in their cases.
