It is believed that the proportion of Model-X cars which have no issues during the guarantee period is at least as much as that of Model-Z cars. To test this hypothesis, a sample of 150 Model-X cars were selected from which 87 had no issues within the guarantee period, and a sample of 40 Model-Z cars were selected from which 32 had no issues within the guarantee period. The p-value for the hypothesis test is approximately:
- A. 0.003
- B. 0.002
- C. 0.011
- D. 0.005

The latest model of a certain brand of electric car is reported to have an average range of 195 miles. An auto industry journalist would like to verify this claim, since she believes that the true range of the car may be less than 195 miles. The journalist selected and tested a random sample of 80 cars of this model and found that the average range of the sample was 190.8 miles with a standard deviation of 31.3 miles. Apply...

Castaneda v. Partida is an important court case in which statistical methods were used as part of a legal argument. When reviewing this case, the Supreme Court used the phrase "two or three standard deviations" as a criterion for statistical significance. This Supreme Court review has served as the basis for many subsequent applications of statistical methods in legal settings. (The two or three standard deviations referred to by the Court are values of the z statistic and correspond to...

Problem: Proportion of "Cured” Cancer Patients: How Does Canada Compare with Europe? Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death for both Canadian men and women, responsible for the most potential years of life lost to cancer. Lung cancer alone accounts for 28% of all cancer deaths in Canada (32%. in Quebec). Most forms of lung cancer start insidiously and produce no apparent symptoms until they are too far advanced. Consequently, the chances of being cured of lung cancer...

Given X, and x, distributions that are normal or approximately normal with unknown o, and on, the value of t corresponding to X, - X, has a distribution that is approximated by a Student's t distribution. We use the convention that the degrees of freedom is approximately the smaller of n - 1 and n, - 1. However, a more accurate estimate for the appropriate degrees of freedom is given by Satterthwaite's formula: 2 2 xn2 522 +$22) d.f. z...
