IX.        The local MiniMart sells five different types of teddy bears. The manager reports that the five types are equally popular. Suppose that a sample of 100 purchases yields observed counts 25, 19, 15, 17, and 24 for types 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively.

            Use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that the five types are equally popular.

a          The Null Hypothesis is

b          The Alternate Hypothesis is

c          The significance level of the test is

________

            d          Determine the p-value. (Round your answer to three decimal places)

________

            e          What decision should be made regarding the null hypothesis

(i)   reject the Null Hypothesis

(ii)   Do not reject the Null Hypothesis

(iii)   Need additional data

________

f           Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that the five types are equally popular?

(i)   Yes               (ii)   No            (iii)   Need additional data

________

For full credit label (question number) and paste the Minitab output, with the Null and Alternate Hypothesis and the calculated Pvalue at the end of the exam.

4.In previous tests, baseballs were dropped 24 ft onto concrete surface, and they bounced an average of 92.84 in. In a test of sample of 40 new balls, the bounce height had a mean of 92.67 in. and a standard deviation of 1.79 in. Use 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the new balls have bounce heights with mean same as 92.84 in. Is this a one tailed or a two tailed test? Write the Null Hypothesis in...

Do different types of hospitals have different practices when submitting insurance claims? Suppose an insurance examiner and his team compare the results of 27126 randomly selected health insurance claims to actual patient records. Insurance claims in the study came from three types of hospitals: public, private, and university hospitals. Of the 27126 claims evaluated, 15012 were confirmed to be accurate, 4981 contained errors but did not require recoding of the healthcare services provided, and 7133 were incorrect and required recoding...

Wild Berry Skittles are a popular candy with five different flavors (Melon Berry, Berry Punch, Raspberry, Wild Cherry, and Strawberry). The company that produces Skittles believes each flavor is equally popular. To attempt to prove this belief they ask 160 individuals to choose their favorite flavor. The results can be found in the excel file skittles. Run the appropriate test to analyze the company’s claim and place the screenshot of your minitab or excel output below. Run all tests at...

A machine that puts corn flakes into boxes is adjusted to put an average of 15.7 ounces into each box, with standard deviation of 0.24 ounce. If a random sample of 17 boxes gave a sample standard deviation of 0.38 ounce, do these data support the claim that the variance has increased and the machine needs to be brought back into adjustment? (Use a 0.01 level of significance.) (i) Give the value of the level of significance. State the null...
