A procurement specialist has purchased 26 resistors from vendor 1 and 28 resistors from vendor 2. Let X1,1, X1,2,..,X26 represent the vendor 1 observed resistances, which are assumed to be normally and independently distributed with mean 100 ohms and standard deviation 1.6 ohms. Similarly, let X2.1,X2.2,...,X28 represent the vendor 2 observed resistances, which are assumed to be normally and independently distributed with mean 106 ohms and standard deviation of 2.0 ohms. What is the sampling distribution of X1 - X2 ?What is the standard error of X1 - X2 ? The sampling distribution of X1 –X2 is N(µx,-X, = i (Round the second answer to four decimal places.)

A random sample of n, 20 winter days in Denver gave a sample mean pollution index x, = 43. Previous studles show that o,- 10. For Englewood (a suburb of Denver), a random sample of n, - 19 winter days gave a sample mean pollution Index of x, = 37. Previous studies show that g, -13. Assume the pollution Index is normally distributed in both Englewood and Denver. Do these data indicate that the mean population pollution index of Englewood is different (either way) from that of Denver in the winter? Use a 1% level of significance. (a) what is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses. (b) what sampling distribution will you use? What assumptions are you making? O The Student's t.

A professor gives a test worth 150 points and the resulting scores from herclass were found to be normally distributed with a mean of 97 and a standarddeviation of 20. She decides to apply a curve to the exam scores such that anA is +2σ or better, a B is between the +1σ and +2σ, a C is between the meanand +1σ, a D is between -1σ and the mean, and any score less than -1σ getsan F. What score would be needed to get an A? If there were 70 students inher class, by this curved distribution, how many student would she expect tohave an A? (Round to the nearest integer.)

A researcher would like to determine whether a new tax on cigarettes has had any effect on people's behavior. During the year before the tax was imposed, stores located in rest areas on the state thruway reported selling an average of = 410 packs per day with o = 50. The distribution of daily sales was approximately normal. For a sample of n = 16 days following the new tax, the researcher found an average of M = 366 packs per day for the same stores. %3D %3D a. Is the sample mean sufficient to conclude that there was a significant change in cigarette purchases after the new tax. Use a two-tailed test with a = .05. b. If the population standard deviation was o = 30, is the result sufficient to conclude that there is a significant difference? c. Explain why the two tests lead to different outcomes. %3D
A scientist studying babies born prematurely would like to obtain an estimate for the mean birth weight, u, of babies born during the 24 week of the gestation period. She plans to select a random sample of birth weights of such babies and use the mean of the sample to estimate u. Assuming that the th population of birth weights of babies born during the 24 week has a standard deviation of 2.5 pounds, what is the minimum sample size needed for the scientist to be 95% confident that her estimate is within 0.6 pounds of u? Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Write your answer as a whole number (and make sure that it is the minimum whole number that satisfies the requirements). (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) Continue %24
The average wait time to get seated at a popular restaurant in the city on a Friday night is 12 minutes. Is the mean wait time greater for men who wear a tie? Wait times for 13 randomly selected men who were wearing a tie are shown below. Assume that the distribution of the population is normal. 13, 13, 11, 13, 13, 13, 13, 10, 12, 13, 13, 10, 13 What can be concluded at the the αα = 0.05 level of significance level of significance? The null and alternative hypotheses would be: H0 = (p,u) (<,>,=,not equal) to _____ H1 = (p,u) (<,>,=,not equal) to _____ The test statistic (t,z) = ___ The p-value = _____ Thus, the final conclusion is that ... The data suggest that the population mean wait time for men who wear a tie is not significantly more than 12 at αα = 0.05, so there is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that the population mean wait time for men who wear a tie is more than 12. The data suggest the population mean is not significantly more than 12…
