Resistors labeled as 100 Ω are purchased from two different vendors. The specification for this type of resistor is that its actual resistance be within 5% of its labeled resistance. In a sample of 180 resistors from vendor A, 150 of them met the specification. In a sample of 270 resistors purchased from vendor B, 233 of them met the specification. Vendor A is the current supplier, but if the data demonstrate convincingly that a greater proportion of the resistors from vendor B meet the specification, a change will be made. a) State the appropriate null and alternate hypotheses. b) Find the P-value. c) Should a change be made?

One operation of a mill is to cut pieces of steel into parts that will later be used as the frame for front seats in an automobile. The steel is cut with a diamond saw and requires the resulting parts to be within 10.005 inch of the length specified by the automobile company. Data are collected from a sample of 50 steel parts and are shown in the following table. The measurement reported is the difference in inches between the actual length of the steel part, as measured by a laser measurement device, and the specified length of the steel part. For example, the first value, -0.003, represents a steel part that is 0.003 inch shorter than the specified length. Complete parts a through c Click the icon to view the data table. a.

The authors of a paper compared two different instruments for measuring a person's capacity for breathing out air. (This measurement is helpful in diagnosing various lung disorders.) The two instruments considered were a Wright peak flow meter and a mini-Wright peak flow meter. Seventeen people participated in the study, and for each person air flow was measured once using the Wright meter and once using the mini-Wright meter. The Wright meter is thought to provide a better measure of air flow, but the mini-Wright meter is easier to transport and to use. Use of the mini-Wright meter could be recommended as long as there is not convincing evidence that the mean reading for the mini-Wright meter is different from the mean reading for Wright meter. For purposes of this exercise, you can assume that it is reasonable to consider the 17 people who participated in this study as representative of the population of interest. Data values from this paper are given in the accompanying table.…

Resistors labeled as 100 Ω are purchased from two different vendors. The specification for this type of resistor is that its actual resistance be within 5% of its labeled resistance. In a sample of 180 resistors from vendor A, 149 of them met the specification. In a sample of 270 resistors purchased from vendor B, 233 of them met the specification. Vendor A is the current supplier, but if the data demonstrate convincingly that a greater proportion of the resistors from vendor B meet the specification, a change will be made. P-value?
The concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is increasing rapidly due to our use of fossil fuels. Because plants use CO2 to fuel photosynthesis, more CO, may cause trees and other plants to grow faster. An elaborate apparatus allows researchers to pipe extra CO, to a 30-meter circle of forest. They selected two nearby circles in each of three parts of a pine forest and randomly chose one of each pair to receive extra CO,. The response variable is the mean increase in base area for 30 to 40 trees in a circle during a growing season. We measure this in percent increase per year. Here are one year's data.

The concentration of carbon dioxide (COy) in the atmosphere is increasing rapidly due to our use of fossil fuels. Because plants use COz to fuel photosynthesis, more COz may cause trees and other plants to grow faster. An elaborate apparatus allows researchers to pipe extra CO, to a 30-meter circle of forest. They selected two nearby circles in each of three parts of a pine forest and randomly chose one of each pair to receive extra COz.

In an effort to link cold environments with hypertension in humans, a preliminary experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of cold on hypertension in rats. Two random samples of 6 rats each were exposed to different environments. One sample of rats was held in a normal environment at 26°C. The other sample was held in a cold 5°C environment. Blood pressures and heart rates were measured for rats for both groups. The blood pressures for the 12 rats are shown in the table below. a. Provide a 95% confidence interval on the difference in the two population meansb. Do the data provide sufficient evidence that rats exposed to a 5°C environment have a higher mean blood pressure than rats exposed to a 26°C environment? Use α = 0.05
To investigate water quality, the Columbus Dispatch took water specimens at 16 Ohio State Park swimming areas in central Ohio. Those specimens were taken to laboratories and tested for E. coli, which are bacteria that can cause serious gastrointestinal problems. For reference, if a 100-milliliter specimen (about 3.3 ounces) of water contains more than 130 E. coli bacteria, it is considered unsafe. The E. coli levels per 100 milliliters found by the laboratories are presented in the table: 291.0 10.9 47.0 86.0 44.0 18.9 1.0 50.0 190.4 45.7 28.5 18.9 16.0 34.0 8.6 9.6 To access the complete data set, click the link for your preferred software format: Excel Minitab JMP SPSS TI R Mac-TXT PC-TXT CSV CrunchIt!
