– Answer: Ho: µ ≥ 29, Ha : µ < 29– (In this case, the claim was Ha)– Remember Ho always contains equality (It will either be =, ≤ or ≥)– Ha will be either ≠, < or >
Math 533 Final Exam Prep• Sample Question on Binomial Distribution
– Assume that a study was done finding that 70 percent of males in Georgia are football fans. If a researcher asks 8 Georgia Males if they are fans, the following binomial distribution would be applicable. What is the probability that at least 5 will be football fans?

0.8059
My total is 0.8059 or about 81% which is the probability of at least 5 being football fans.

• Confidence interval Example– Acme computers needs to find a new vendor for
their hard drives. They are considering using Howie’s Hard Drives as a vendor. Acme’s requirement is that 95% of the hard drives last 24000 hours ± 2000 hours. The following data is from an independent source who evaluated Howie’s. Should Acme buy from Howie’s? Explain your answer. (Follows on next page)

• Mean = 24500• Sample Standard Deviation 2250• Min 21402• Max 29463• Margin of Error 4500
• Answer Follows
Math 533 Final Exam Prep
• No, Acme shouldn’t buy from Howie’s looking at their requirements (24000 – 2000, 24000 + 2000) which is (22000, 26,000). Based on the results given, Howie’s would yield a tolerance of (24500 – 2*2250, 24500+2*2250) which is (20000, 29000). This does not meet Acme’s requirement. You could also see this by looking at the margin of error.

• Normal Distribution Example– The number of students who use the dining hall at
an urban college on a given day is normally distributed with a mean of 1578 students and a standard deviation of 274 students.
– Use Minitab for these and shouldn’t have any issues.
Math 533 Final Exam Prep• Another Confidence Interval Example– I randomly sampled 18 engineers where I work and asked
them how many projects they have worked on in the last five years. The sample mean was 21, with a standard deviation of 5. What is the mean number of projects of all engineers at my research center? Why? What is the 95% confidence interval for the population mean? You are given the information below from Minitab.

Math 533 Final Exam Prep• Another Confidence Interval Example
– I randomly sampled 18 engineers where I work and asked them how many projects they have worked on in the last five years. The sample mean was 21, with a standard deviation of 5. What is the mean number of projects of all engineers at my research center? Why? What is the 95% confidence interval for the population mean? You are given the information below from Minitab.
Answer:21 projects would be the best estimate for the mean. I
would expect 95% of the population mean to fall between 18.51 and 23.49 projects. The t is used because of the sample size.

Math 533 Final Exam PrepI did an analysis to determine if the number of hours studied for a final exam related to the
Final Exam grade for students. On the sheets that follow you will see what my Minitab results were.
Answer the following questions.
Determine the regression equation.
What conclusions are possible using the meaning of bo (intercept) and b1 (regression coefficient) in this problem?
What does the coefficient of determination (r-squared) mean?
Calculate the coefficient of correlation and explain what it means.
Does this data provide significant evidence (a=0.05) that the final exam grade is associated with the hours studied? Find the p-value and interpret.
Determine the predicted grade for someone who spends 10 hours studying for the final exam.
What is the 95% confidence interval for the score for spending 10 hours studying on the test? What conclusion is possible using this interval?
Math 533 Final Exam PrepI did an analysis to determine if the number of hours studied for a
final exam related to the Final Exam grade for students. On the sheets that follow you will see what my Minitab results were.
Answer the following questions.
Determine the regression equation. y= 34.2845 + 1.45508x
What conclusions are possible using the meaning of bo (intercept) and b1 (regression coefficient) in this problem? For each hour of study the final grade is increased by about 1.5 points (1.45508). bo represents the y intercept or 34.2845 in our case. It is the score that a student could expect to get without studying.
What does the coefficient of determination (r-squared) mean? The .886 means that 88.6 percent of the variability of the final grade can be explained by the number of study hours. The other 11.4% would be due to something else or be unexplained.
Math 533 Final Exam Prep
Calculate the coefficient of correlation and explain what it means. Square Root of (0.886) is 0.942 which is r, the correlation coefficient. With a value this close to one, we could say there is strong positive correlation.
Does this data provide significant evidence (a=0.05) that the final exam grade is associated with the hours studied? Find the p-value and interpret. Yes, the p value was 0. If it were above 0.05, I would have said “no.”
Determine the predicted grade for someone who spends 10 hours studying for the final exam. 48.8353
What is the 95% confidence interval for the score for spending 10 hours studying on the test? What conclusion is possible using this interval? (43.8294, 53.8413) We would be 95% confident that if someone studied for 10 hours they would score on average between those two values.
