Question: A tire manufacturer produces tires that are believed to have a mean life of at least 25,000 miles when the production process is working correctly. Based on past experience, the population standard deviation of the lifetime of the tires is 3,500 miles. Assume a level of significance for testing of 5%, and a random sample of 100 tires:

## Ben is interested in flirting. He wants to know what kinds of people

$10.00$8.00

Question: Ben is interested in flirting. He wants to know what kinds of people are likely to be good (and bad) at flirting. He thinks that self-confidence will be correlated with flirting ability, but he’s not sure which way it will go. High self-confidence should make for good flirters, but if people are too self-confident, it might hurt their flirting performance. So he gives a number of students a self-confidence measure (Y) and then watches them try to flirt with people at an off-campus bar (X). Both scales range from 1 (low) to 7 (high). He records the following scores:

 Self-Confidence (X) Flirting (Y) 4 5 6 3 6 5 7 6 6 7 3 1 6 4 2 3 3 2 3 4
1. a) Compute the correlation for these scores. (SHOW YOUR WORK! Use as much space as necessary.)
2. b) What does this correlation tell us about the relationship between self-confidence and flirting ability?
3. c) What is Ben’s alternative hypothesis?
4. d) What is Ben’s null hypothesis?
5. e) What is the coefficient of determination for these scores?
6. f) How did you compute the coefficient of determination?
7. g) How many degrees of freedom are there in this example?
8. h) How did you compute the degrees of freedom? Should Ben perform a one-tailed or two-tailed test?  Why?
9. i) Assuming α = .05, what is the critical value for this example?
10. j) Is the correlation you computed statistically significant? YES  or   NO
11. k) How do you know whether or not the correlation is statistically significant?

Question : Last month the waiting time at the drive through window of a fast-food restaurant was 3.7 minutes. The franchise has installed a new process intended to reduce waiting time. After the installation, a random sample of 64 orders is selected. The sample mean waiting time is 3.57 minutes with a sample standard deviation of 0.8 minutes. At a 5% level of significance, is there sufficient evidence that the population mean waiting time is now less than 3.7 minutes? What is your conclusion?

Question

Curing diabetes: Vertical banded gastroplasty is a surgical procedure that reduces the volume of the stomach in order to produce weight loss. In a recent study, 82 patients with Type 2 diabetes underwent this procedure, and 59 of them experienced a recovery from diabetes. Does this study provide convincing evidence that greater than 58% of those with diabetes who undergo this surgery will recover from diabetes? Use the a = 0.10 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 calculator. Source: New England Journal of Medicine 357:753-761
