Chapter 09, Section 9.2, Problem 025b

Correct.

The manufacturer of a certain brand of auto batteries claims that the mean life of these batteries is 45 months. A consumer protection agency that wants to check this claim took a random sample of 24 such batteries and found that the mean life for this sample is 43.05 months. The lives of all such batteries have a normal distribution with the population standard deviation of 4.5 months.

Test the hypothesis H0: μ=45 months versus H1: μ<45 months using the critical-value approach and α=0.02.

H0 is

 

Chapter 09, Section 9.2, Problem 029a

Lazurus Steel Corporation produces iron rods that are supposed to be 36 inches long. The machine that makes these rods does not produce each rod exactly 36 inches long. The lengths of the rods are normally distributed and vary slightly. It is known that when the machine is working properly, the mean length of the rods is 36 inches. The standard deviation of the lengths of all rods produced on this machine is always equal to 0.035 inch. The quality control department at the company takes a sample of 20 such rods every week, calculates the mean length of these rods, and tests the null hypothesis, μ=36 inches, against the alternative hypothesis, μ≠36 inches. If the null hypothesis is rejected, the machine is stopped and adjusted. A recent sample of 20 rods produced a mean length of 36.015 inches.

Calculate the p-value for this test of hypothesis. Based on this p-value, will the quality control inspector decide to stop the machine and adjust it if he chooses the maximum probability of a Type I error to be 0.05?

Use the normal distribution table. Round your answer to four decimal places.

Chapter 08, Section 8.1, Problem 001

Correct.

Briefly explain the meaning of an estimator and an estimate.

 

An estimator is the value of a sample statistic used to estimate a population parameter, while an estimate is an interval where one is confident to a certain percent that the value of interest is in the interval.

 

An estimator is an interval where one is confident to a certain percent that the value of interest is in the interval, while an estimate is the value of a sample statistic used to estimate a population parameter.

 

An estimator is a prediction of the mean based on the population, while an estimate is a prediction of the mean based on a sample.

 

An estimator is a sample statistic used to estimate a population parameter, while an estimate is the value(s) assigned to a population parameter based on the value of a sample statistic.
