1‐ Of 16 cars inspected during a safety campaign, 6 were found to be unsafe. Test the hypothesis that less than 10% of the cars in the popula on are unsafe.
Use α=0.05, 0.51, 0.8.
2‐ In ques on 1, what is a 90% confidence interval for the true propor on of unsafe cars in the population?
3‐ Use the binomial formula to find the exact p‐value when the null hypothesis is : 0.3 and the alternative hypothesis is : 0.3, and 3 successes are observed in 25 independent trials. Then use the large sample approximation to find the approximate p‐value using a binomial test.
4‐ Under simple Mendelian inheritance a cross between plants of two particular genotypes may be expected to produce progeny one‐fourth of which are "dwarf"
and three‐fourths of which are "tall". In an experiment to determine if the assumption of simple Mendelian inheritance is reasonable in a certain situation, a cross results in progeny having "243 dwarf" plants and "682 tall" plants. If "class 1"
denotes "tall", then 3/4=P* and T equals the number of "tall" plants. The null hypothesis of simple Mendelian inheritance is equivalent under the model to the hypothesis. Use two tailed binomial test, α=0.05.
5‐ Out of 20 recent takeover a empts, 5 were successfully resisted by the companies being taken over. Assume these are independent events, and estimate the probability of a takeover a empt being successfully resisted. That is, find a 95%
confidence interval.
a) Use Table A4 to find the exact confidence interval
b) Use the standard normal tables to find the approximated confidence interval
6‐ A random sample of tenth‐grade boys resulted in the following 20 observed weights 142 134 98 119 131 103 154 122 93 137
86 119 161 144 158 165 81 117 128 103 Test the hypothesis that the median weight is 103. Use α=0.05.
7‐ In ques on 6 find an approximate 90% confidence interval for the median. What is the exact confidence interval?
8‐ The reaction time before lunch was compared with the reaction time after lunch for a group of 28 office workers. Twenty‐two workers found their reaction time before lunch was shorter, and two could detect no difference. Is the reaction time after lunch significantly shorter than the reaction time before lunch? Use lower tailed test with α=0.05.
9‐ Use the data in the following table to test the null hypothesis : versus the alternative hypothesis : , α=0.05.
X 174 191 188 182 201 188
Y 165 186 183 178 203 181
