Drs. H. Friedman/L. W. Friedman (c)2006 PRACTICE FINAL? (1)? Suppose a researcher wishes to test Ho: μ ≤ 100 milligrams versus H1:? μ 100 milligrams.? (a) What will result if she concludes that the population mean is less than 100 milligrams when it is actually 104 milligrams? [Type I error, Type II error, no error, impossible to determine].? (b)? Suppose she concludes that the population mean is less than 100 milligrams when it is actually 98 milligrams? [Choose one: Type I error, Type II error, no error, impossible to determine]. (2)? Ikea claims it takes 60 minutes to assemble the Ikea bunk bed with a population standard deviation of 20 minutes. Numerous random samples consisting of 100 customers who purchased the bed are taken. (a)? The standard deviation of the sample means should be about____. This standard deviation has a name; it is the ____________. (3)? A confidence interval was used to estimate the proportion of new Dell laptop computers that are defective.? A random sample of 121 laptops produced the following 95% confidence interval as to the proportion of defectives:? 2% ± .50% .? (a) Is this statement correct? We are 95% sure that the true proportion of new Dell laptops that are defective is 2%.? (b) What is the best way to state the results? (4)? GE wants to construct a confidence interval for the life of its stoves. Which of the following confidence intervals will be narrower: (a)? a 75% confidence interval or a 99% confidence interval?? (b)? one based on a random sample of 100 stoves or one based on a random sample of 500 stoves? (5)? Intel wants to construct a confidence interval for the life of its computer chips. Which of the following confidence intervals will be narrower:? one based on a Z-distribution or one based on a t-distribution? (6)? The 42nd Street Library in NYC wants to estimate how much time a typical patron spends in its library.? 25 patrons are randomly sampled with the following results:? sample mean = 45 minutes; sample stand
