The case is described at page 416‚ chapter 10. 2. Problem statement Par‚ Inc. has produced a new type of golf ball. The company wants to know if this new type of golf ball is comparable to the old ones. Therefore they did a test‚ which consists out of 40 trials with the current and 40 trials with the new golf balls. The testing was

18. Based on a simple random sample of one hundred an analyst estimates the average hourly wage earned by workers in a city to be $30 and computes the margin of error to be $5. Can we conclude from this that most workers there earn between $25 and $35 per hour? Is the right interpretation for the margin of error? 23.

Module 1 Suppose you hear an "old-timer" say‚ "Why‚ in my day‚ kids were much more respectful and didn’t cause as much trouble as they do nowadays!" Formulate a hypothesis related to this statement that you could test. How would you test it? The old-timer are the older person in their 70s or 80s at this time. I would compare the age when this old timer is raising his own children . what actually age he may be‚ let say‚ 25 years old if he was born in 1940 by the year 1965 to determine respectfulness

Chapter 3 Fluid Statics: Definitions Statics: ∑F = 0. In statics we have only pressure as surface force and weight as body force. Thus‚ when fluids are still‚ the pressure is balanced by the fluid weight. No relative motion between adjacent fluid layers. Shear stress is zero Only _______ can be acting on fluid surfaces Gravity force acts on the fluid (____ force) Applications: Pressure variation within a reservoir Forces on submerged surfaces Buoyant forces 9/4/2013 1 Pressure Pressure is defined

1. A density curve consists of a straight line segment that begins at the origin (0‚ 0) and has slope of 1. a. Sketch this density curve. What are the coordinates of the right endpoint of the segment? (Note that the right endpoint should be fixed so that the total area under the curve is 1. This is required for a valid density curve.) b. Determine the median‚ the first quartile (Q1)‚ and the third quartile (Q3). c. Relative to the median‚ where would you expect the mean of the distribution to lie

Controlled Assessment Task: State the hypothesis you will be testing in your investigation: The speed of a metal carbonate breaking down depends on where the metal is in the reactivity series. The more reactive a metal is the slower it takes for it to breakdown. The less reactive a metal is it breaks down faster. Explain the hypothesis using scientific ideas: The metal carbonate which is lower in the reactivity series such as copper can thermally decompose much faster because it is

strong evidence that the gambler’s claim is true? a. Specify the null and alternative hypothesis for this problem. p = probability gambler guess correctly for an individual roll null (Ho): p = 1/6 alternative (Ha): p > 1/6 b. Find the test statistic and calculate the p-value. What do you conclude? pˆ = 0.2 so z = (0.2-0.1667)/ .1667(.8333) /100 = 0.894. From the table the p-value is between 18% and 19%. The null hypothesis is a reasonable explanation of this data so we do not have strong evidence
