    Please see the attached file for full problem description. --- (1) The Ferguson Paper Company produces rolls of paper for use in adding machines, desk calculators, and cash registers. The rolls, which are 200 feet long, are produced in widths of 1 ½, 2 ½, and 3 ½ inches. The production process provides 200-foot rolls in

    Critical Z Value Formulas

    Use formula z=(mean of values in sample - mu subscript mean of values in sample) divided by (lower case sigma divided by sqrt number of values in sample) The claim is mu = 73.4 and sample statistics include n=35, mean of values in sample = 69.5, and s=8.7.

    1. A study compared the step length in meters of amputees using a solid ankle cushion heel (SACH) prosthesis with those using a Carbon Copy II (CCII) device. For the random sample of 10 using SACH, the mean step length was 0.764 meter, and the standard deviation was 0.0011 meter. For the sample of 10 using CCII, the mean step

    Randomly selected statistics students were given five seconds to estimate the value of a product of numbers with a summary of the results of both groups given below. Does the order of the numbers appear to have an effect on the variances? Use a 0.05 significance level to test the difference between variances of the two samples.

    Gamma, p-Values and Significance

    We know that the Gamma value=0.298 and the approximate p-value=.000 which is understood p-value<=0.001. So, under a significance level alpha=0.001, we should reject the null hypothesis, ie., there is a significance difference between the groups. See the attached file.
