UNIT 3 & 4

1. For the given table of observed values,


i. Construct the corresponding table of expected values.
ii. If appropriate, perform the chi-square test for the null hypothesis that the row and column
outcomes are independent. If not appropriate, explain why.

2. Find the power of the 5% level test of H0: μ ≤ 80 versus H1: μ > 80 for the mean yield of
the new process under the alternative μ = 82, assuming n = 50 and σ = 5.

3. Recently many companies have been experimenting with telecommuting, allowing


employees to work at home on their computers. Among other things, telecommuting
is supposed to reduce the number of sick days taken. Suppose that at one firm, it is
known that over the past few years employees have taken a mean of 5.4 sick days.
This year, the firm introduces telecommuting. Management chooses a simple
random sample of 80 employees to follow in detail, and, at the end of the year, these
employees average 4.5 sick days with a standard deviation of 2.7 days. Let μ
represent the mean number of sick days for all employees of the firm.

A. Find the P-value for testing H0 :μ ≥ 5.4 versus H1 :μ < 5.4.


B. Do you believe it is plausible that the mean number of sick days is at least 5.4,
or are you convinced that it is less than 5.4? Explain your reasoning.
C. Is the result statistically significant at the 5% level?
4. A test is made of the hypotheses H0 :μ ≤ 15 versus H1 :μ > 15. For each of the
following situations, determine whether the decision was correct, a type I error
occurred, or a type II error occurred.

I. μ = 13, H0 is rejected.

II. μ = 15, H0 is not rejected.

III. μ = 19, H0 is not rejected.

IV. μ = 17, H0 is rejected.

V. μ = 10, H0 is not rejected

5. Generate normal random variates X1 and X2 using Box Muller method for the given
μ = 15 and the Variance=16 and the random numbers R1=0.1543 and R2=0.0724

6. Leakage from underground fuel tanks has been a source of water pollution. In a
random sample of 87 gasoline stations, 13 were found to have at least one leaking
underground tank. How many stations must be sampled so that a 95% confidence
interval specifies the proportion to within ±0.03?

7. Recently many of the IT companies have been experimenting with work from
home(WFH), allowing employees to work at home on their computers. Among other
things, WFH is supposed to reduce the number of sick days taken. Suppose that at
one firm, it is known that over the past few years employees have taken a mean of
5.4 sick days. This year, the firm introduces WFH. Management chooses a simple
random sample of 80 employees to follow in detail, and, at the end of the year, these
employees average 4.5 sick days with a standard deviation of 2.7 days. Let μ
represent the mean number of sick days for all employees of the firm.

I. Find the P-value for testing H0 :μ ≥ 5.4 versus H1 :μ < 5.4.

II. Do you believe it is plausible that the mean number of sick days is at
least 5.4, or are you convinced that it is less than 5.4? Explain
your reasoning.

III. Is the result statistically significant at the 5% level?


8. Estimate the confidence intervals for the following:

I. A group of 78 people enrolled in a weight-loss program that involved


adhering to a special diet and to a daily exercise program. After six
months, their mean weight loss was 25 pounds, with a sample standard
deviation of 9 pounds. A second group of 43 people went on the diet but
didn’t exercise. After six months, their mean weight loss was 14 pounds,
with a sample standard deviation of 7 pounds. Find a 95%confidence
interval for the mean difference between the weight losses.

II. In a random sample of 150 customers of a high-speed internet


provider, 63 said that their service had been interrupted one or more
times in the past month. Find a 95% confidence interval for the
proportion of customers whose service was interrupted one or more
times in the past month.

9. Let X1, . . . , Xn be a random sample from a population with the Poisson(λ)


distribution. Find the MLE of λ

Must know by rote – Sure question

10. A tire company claims that the lifetimes of its tires average 50,000 miles. The
standard deviation of tire lifetimes is known to be 5000 miles. You sample 100
tires and will test the hypothesis that the mean tire lifetime is at least 50,000 miles
against the alternative that it is less. Assume, in fact, that the true mean lifetime is
49,500 miles.

a. State the null and alternate hypotheses. Which hypothesis is true?

b. It is decided to reject H0 if the sample mean is less than 49,400. Find the
level and power of this test.

11. In a study relating the degree of warping, in mm, of a copper plate (y) to
temperature in ◦C (x), the following summary statistics were calculated: n = 40,

I. Compute the error sum of squares, the regression sum of


squares, and the total sum of squares.

II. Compute the least-squares line for predicting warping from


temperature.
12. 1000 ppm. Let 𝜇 denote the mean arsenic content for copper treated by this
process, and assume that the standard deviation of arsenic content is σ = 100 ppm.
The sample mean arsenic content 𝑋 of 75 copper specimens will be computed, and
the null hypothesis 𝐻0 : ≥ 1000 will be tested against the alternate 𝐻1 ∶ 𝜇 < 1000.
i) A decision is made to reject 𝐻0 if 𝑋 ≤ 980. Find the level of this test.
ii) Find the power of the test in part (i) if the true mean content is 965 ppm.

13. In a study to compare two different corrosion inhibitors, specimens of stainless


steel were immersed for four hours in a solution containing sulfuric acid and a
corrosion inhibitor. Forty-seven specimens in the presence of inhibitor A had a mean
weight loss of 242 mg and a standard deviation of 20 mg, and 42 specimens in the
presence of inhibitor B had a mean weight loss of 220 mg and a standard deviation
of 31 mg. Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean weight loss
between the two inhibitors.

14. In an experiment to measure the lifetimes of parts manufactured from a certain


aluminum alloy, 73 parts were loaded cyclically until failure. The mean number of
kilocycles to failure was 783, and the standard deviation was 120. Let μ represent
the mean number of kilocycles to failure for parts of this type. A test is made of H0 :μ
≤ 750 versus H1 :μ > 750. a. Find the P- value. b. Either the mean number of
kilocycles to failure is greater than 750, or the sample is in the most extreme % of its
distribution.
15. A chemical engineer is studying the effect of temperature and stirring rate on the
yield of a certain product. The process is run 16 times, at the settings indicated in the
following table. The units for yield are percent of a theoretical maximum.

a. Compute the correlation between temperature and yield, between stirring rate and
yield, and between temperature and stirring rate.
b. Do these data provide good evidence that increasing the temperature causes the
yield to increase, within the range of the data? Or might the result be due to
confounding? Explain.

c. Do these data provide good evidence that increasing the stirring rate causes the yield
to increase, within the range of the data? Or might the result be due to confounding?
Explain.
