Two types of valves are being tested to determine if there is a difference in pressure tolerances. Fifteen out of a random sample of 100of Valve Acracked under 4500psi.Six out of a random sample of 100of Valve Bcracked under 4500psi.Test at a5% level of significance.

Use the following information to answer the next three exercises: A study is done to determine which of two soft drinks has more sugar. There are 13 cans of Beverage A in a sample and six cans of Beverage B. The mean amount of sugar in Beverage A is 36 grams with a standard deviation of 0.6 grams. The mean amount of sugar in Beverage B is 38 grams with a standard deviation of 0.8 grams. The researchers believe that Beverage B has more sugar than Beverage A, on average. Both populations have normal distributions.

Are standard deviations known or unknown?

Use the following information to answer the next twelve exercises. In the recent Census, three percent of the U.S. population reported being of two or more races. However, the percent varies tremendously from state to state. Suppose that two random surveys are conducted. In the first random survey, out of 1,000 North Dakotans, only nine people reported being of two or more races. In the second random survey, out of 500 Nevadans, 17 people reported being of two or more races. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the population percents are the same for the two states or if the percent for Nevada is statistically higher than for North Dakota.

Which distribution (normal or Student's t) would you use for this hypothesis test?

Use the following information to answer the next five exercises. Two metal alloys are being considered as material for ball bearings. The mean melting point of the two alloys is to be compared. 15 pieces of each metal are being tested. Both populations have normal distributions. The following table is the result. It is believed that Alloy Zeta has a different melting point.

What is the p-value?

A concerned group of citizens wanted to know if the proportion of forcible rapes in Texas was different in 2011

than in 2010.Their research showed that of the 113,231violent crimes in Texas in 2011,7622of them were forcible rapes. In 2011,7439of the 104,873violent crimes were in the forcible rape category. Test at a 5%significance level.

Answer the following questions:

a. Is this a test of two means or two proportions?

b. Which distribution do you use to perform the test?

c. What is the random variable?

d. What are the null and alternative hypothesis? Write the null and alternative hypothesis in symbols.

e. Is this test right-, left-, or two-tailed?
