1. In tests of a computer component, it is found that 7% of the components are defecti e. A random
sample of 175 components, 18 components were found to be defective. At the 5% level of
significance, does this sample show that significantly more defective components are being made?
2. Which example would give a longer confidence interval in each case below.
a) 95% confidence with n = 25 or 95% confidence with n = 75?
b) 99% confidence with n = 50 or 90% confidence with n = 50?
3. A young dairy farmer believes he can compete with Amy s Ice Cream and hopes to open an ice cream
shop in the same vicinity(good luck with that, Amy s is the best!). He will close the deal if his ice cream is
preferred by more than 40% of the local residents. His statistical analysis uses the hypotheses: Ho: p = .4
and Ha: p > .4. Describe in words what a Type I error would be.
4. Describe in words what a Type II error would be for the problem above.
5.. The dairy farmer above completes his test usin a = .05 and gets a P-value of 0.067. His value for
0 = .16. What is the power of his test? What does this mean?
6. Twel e of 200 randomly selected shark attacks occurred in deep water. Construct the 98%
confidence interval for the true proportion of shark attacks that occur in deep water.
7. Among 80 fish caught in a certain lake, 28 were inedible as a result of the chemical pollution of their
environment. Estimate the true population proportion of inedible fish with a 99% confidence interval.
8. When completin a test of significance, what does the P-value mean?
9. A 92% confidence interval for the proportion of cheese purchases that are cheddar is (.793 , .851). If
the store owner claims the proportion of cheddar cheese sales is .86 and runs a significance test at the
8% level, what can you expect?
10. What is z for a 70% confidence interval?
11. M&Ms are packaged to contain 20% oran e candies. To test this 32 randomly selected packages are
opened and the proportion of orange M&Ms are calculated. Ho: p = .2 is tested a ainst Ha: p .2 at the
2% le el.
a) W at is the corresponding confidence level for this test?
b) Run a test on the proportion of orange M&Ms
12. Highway safety engineers test new signs, hoping that increased reflectivity will make them more
visible to drivers. Volunteers drive through a test course with several of the new and old style signs and
rate which kind shows up the best.
a) Is this a one-tailed or two-tailed test? Why?
b) In this contest, state the type I & type II errors. What are the consequences of each?
c) Which is more serious? Which level of significance might you choose? Why?
d) The engineers hoped to base their decision on the reactions of 50 drivers, but tie and budget
constraints may force them to cut back to 20. How would this affect the probability of type I and
type II errors?
[Link] 1990, 5.8% of job applicants who were tested for drugs failed the test.
a. Test the claim that the failure rate is now lower if a random sample of 1520 current job applicants
results in 58 failures, a = .01
b. Give a 99.8% confidence interval for the percent of drug test failures
14..According to the article Which Adults Do Underage Youth Ask for Cigarettes? 43.6% of the 149 18-
to-19 year olds in a random sample have been asked to buy cigarettes for an underage smoker. Is there
convincing evidence that an underage smoker has approached fewer than half of 18- to 19-yearolds to
buy cigarettes? a = .02.
15. In a given year, 13.5% of employed people in the United States reported belonging to a union.
Officials from a large city contacted a random sample of 2000 city workers and 240 claimed union
membership. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of workers in this city who are
union members is different from the national rate?
