- Se efecta un estudio sobre el color de los escarabajos tigre para conseguir pruebas que apoyen el argumento de que la proporcin de escarabajos negros puede variar de un lugar a otro. En una muestra de 500 escarabajos capturados en una extensin prxima a Providence, Rhode Island, 95 eran negros. Una captura de 112 escarabajos en Aqueduct, Nueva York, contena 17 individuos negros. a) Hallar una estimacin puntual para la diferencia entre las proporciones de escarabajos negros en las dos regiones. En base a esa estimacin, crees que hay diferencia entre las proporciones poblacionales?. b) Construir un intervalo de confianza, de nivel de confianza 0.95, para la diferencia de proporciones poblacionales desconocida. En base a esa estimacin, crees que hay diferencia entre las proporciones poblacionales?.

c) Responder a la pregunta de los apartados a) y b) efectuando un contraste de hiptesis. Cul es su p-valor?.

sol.: a) 0.0382; b) [-0.0409 , 0.1173]; c) A un nivel de significacin de 0.05 no podemos afirmar que exista diferencia entre las proporciones de escarabajos negros en las regiones estudiadas. El p-valor del contraste es 0.3472.

42. Sodium Content in Cereal In your work for a national health organization, you are asked to monitor

the amount of sodium in a certain brand of cereal. You find that a random sample of 52 cereal servings has a mean sodium content of 232 milligrams with a standard deviation of 10 milligrams. At Q' = 0.04, can you conclude that the mean sodium content per serving of cereal is greater than 230 milligrams? Contenido de sodio en Cereal En su trabajo de una organizacin nacional de salud, se le preguntar para controlar la cantidad de sodio en una cierta marca de cereal. Usted encontrar que una muestra aleatoria de 52 porciones de cereales tiene un contenido de sodio media de 232 miligramos con una desviacin estndar de 10 miligramos. en Q' = 0.04, se puede concluir que el contenido medio de sodio por porcin de cereal es mayor de 230 miligramos?

44. Fluorescent Lamps A fluorescent lamp manufacturer guarantees that the mean life of a certain type

of lamp is at least 10,000 hours. You want to test this guarantee. To do so, you record the life of a random sample of 32 fluorescent lamps. The results (in hours) are shown below. At a = 0.09, do you have enough evidence to reject the manufacturer's claim?

Lmparas fluorescentes de un fabricante de lmparas fluorescentes garantiza que la vida media de un determinado tipo de luz es de al menos 10.000 horas. Quieres probar esta garanta. Para ello, se graba la vida de una muestra aleatoria de 32 lmparas fluorescentes. Los resultados (en horas) que se muestran abajo. Con a = 0.09, tiene suficiente evidencia para rechazar la afirmacin del fabricante?
8.800 10.016 10.420 6.277 9.155 8.015 8.302 8.632 13.001 6.110 8.151 7.265 10.250 11.005 10.980 10.584 10,002 11,555 10,186 9,397 11.413 9.254 10.003 11.987 8.234 6.991 8.814 7.556 10.402 12.006 11.445 10.380

28. Annual Pay An employment information service claims the mean annual pay for fu U-time female workers over age 25 and without a high school diploma is $19,100. The annual pay for a random sample of 12 full-time female workers without a high school diploma is listed. At a = 0.05, test the claim that the mean salary is $19,100. 18165,16012,18794,18803,19864,19177,17328,21445,20354,19143,18316,19237

Testing Claims Using Pvalues In Exercises 29-34 (a) write the claim mathematieally and identify H o and Ha> (h) use teehnology to find the P-value, (e) decide whether to rejeet or fail to rejeet the null hypothesis, and (d) interpret the decision in the eontext of the original claim. Assume the population is normally distributed.

30. School Snpplies A company that manufactures school supplies says that teachers spend a mean of more than $550 of their own money on school supplies in a year. A random sample of the amounts (in dollars) that 24 teachers spent on school supplies in a recent year is listed below. At a = 0.05, is there enough evidence to support the company's claim? 715,623,582,721,602,621,462,320,532,566,686,532,603,420,684,713,531,888,482,361,560,910,546,860 32. Faculty Classroom Hours The dean of a university estimates that the mean number of classroom hours per week for full-time facu1ty is 11.0. As a member of the student council, you want to test this c1aim. A random sample of the number of c1assroom hours for eight full-time faculty for one week is listed below. At a = 0,01, can you reject the dean's claim? 11.8,8.6,12.6,7.9,6.4,10.4,13.6,9.1 24. Teaching Methods Two teaching methods and their effects on science test scores are being reviewed. A randomly selected group of students is taught in traditional lab sessions. A second randomly selected group of students is taught using interactive simulation software. The science test scores of the two groups are shown in the stem-and-Ieaf plot.

At a = 0.05, can you support the claim that the mean science test score is 10wer for students taught using the traditional lab method than it is for students taught using the interactive simulation software? Assume the population variances are equal.
