A production plant has two complex fabricating systems, both of which are maintained at 2-week intervals. However, one system is twice as old as the other. The number of finished products fabricated daily by each of the systems is recorded for 30 working days, with the results given in the table. Do these data present sufficient evidence to conclude that the variability in daily production warrants increased maintenance of the older fabricating system? Use the p-value approach. (Use a =...
A study was conducted on the effect of an oral antiplaque rinse on plaque buildup on teeth. Eighteen people whose teeth were thoroughly cleaned and polished were randomly assigned to two groups of nine subjects each. Both groups were assigned to use oral rinses (no brushing) for a two-week period. Group 1, the control group, received a rinse that, unknown to the subjects, contained no antiplaque agent. Group 2 used a rinse that contained an antiplaque agent. A plaque index...
A study was conducted on the effect of an oral antiplaque rinse on plaque buildup on teeth. Twelve people whose teeth were thoroughly cleaned and polished were randomly assigned to two groups of six subjects each. Both groups were assigned to use oral rinses (no brushing) for a two-week period. Group 1, the control group, received a rinse that, unknown to the subjects, contained no antiplaque agent. Group 2 used a rinse that contained an antiplaque agent. A plaque index...
To compare the mean lengths of time required for the bodily absorption of two drugs A and B, 20 people were randomly selected and assigned to receive one of the drugs. The length of time (in minutes) for the drug to reach a specified level in the blood was recorded, and the data summary is given in the table. Drug A Drug Do the data provide sufficient evidence to indicate a difference in mean times to absorption for the two...
Consider the following hypothesis test. Hoius 12 H: > 12 A sample of 25 provided a sample mean x = 14 and a sample standard deviation s = 4.25. (a) Compute the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) (b) Use the t distribution table to compute a range for the p-value. O p-value > 0.200 O 0.100 < p-value < 0.200 O 0.050 < p-value < 0.100 O 0.025 < p-value < 0.050 O...
Independent random samples of n = 150 and n = 150 observations were randomly selected from binomial populations 1 and 2, respectively. Sample 1 had 68 successes, and sample 2 had 74 successes. You wish to perform a hypothesis test to determine if there is a difference in the sample proportions P, and py: (a) State the null and alternative hypotheses. O Ho: (P1 - P2) = 0 versus Ha: (P1-P2) < 0 O Ho: (2,-) < versus H: (2,-2)...
Consider the follovwing hypothesis test. Ho: us 12 H:u > 12 A sample of 25 provided a sample mean x = 14 and a sample standard deviation s = 4.33. (a) Compute the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) (b) Use the t distribution table to compute a range for the p-value. O p-value > 0.200 0.100 < p-value < 0.200 0.050 < p-value < 0.100 0.025 < p-value < 0.050 0.010 < p-value...
Independent random samples were selected from two quantitative populations, with sample sizes, means, and variances given below. Sample Size Sample Mean Sample Variance Population 1 2 34 45 9.8 7.5 10.83 16.49 State the null and alternative hypotheses used to test for a difference in the two population means. O Ho: (41 - H2) = 0 versus Ha: (41 - M2) > 0 Ho: (41 – 12) # O versus Ha: (H1 - H2) = 0 HO: (41 – My)...
Two processes for manufacturing large roller bearings are under study. In both cases, the diameters (in centimeters) are being examined. A random sample of 26 roller bearings from the old manufacturing process showed the sample variance of diameters to be s2 = 0.231. Another random sample of 28 roller bearings from the new manufacturing process showed the sample variance of their diameters to be s2 = 0.146. Use a 5% level of significance to test the claim that there is...
Help me answer each question STEP by STEP (can use excel, if so show me the formulas please!)
