The relative conductivity of a semiconductor device is determined by the amount of impurity “doped” into the device during its manufacture. A silicon diode to be used for a specific purpose requires an average cut-on voltage of .60 V, and if this is not achieved, the amount of impurity must be adjusted. A sample of diodes was selected and the cut-on voltage was determined. The accompanying SAS output resulted from a request to test the appropriate hypotheses.

[Note: SAS explicitly tests H0: μ = 0, so to test H0: μ = .60, the null value .60 must be subtracted from each xi; the reported mean is then the average of the (xi − .60) values. Also, SAS’s P-value is always for a two-tailed test.] What would be concluded for a significance level of .01? .05? .10?

- An experiment to compare the tension bond strength of polymer latex modified mortar (Portland cement mortar to which polymer latex emulsións have been added during mixing) to that of unmodified mortar resulted in x = 18.11 kgf/cm2 for the modified mortar (m = 42) and y = 16.88 kgf/cm2 for the unmodified mortar (n = 31). Let ₁ and ₂ be the true average tension bond strengths for the modified and unmodified mortars, respectively. Assume that the bond strength distributions are both normal. (a) Assuming that o₁ = 1.6 and ₂ = 1.3, test Ho: ₁ - ₂ = 0 versus H₂: H₁ - H₂> 0 at level 0.01. Calculate the test statistic and determine the P-value. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.) Z = P-value = State the conclusion in the problem context. O Fail to reject Ho. The data suggests that the difference in average tension bond strengths exceeds 0. Fail to reject Ho.

In order to make sure that the environment does not affect your experiment, you divide 13 different petri dishes in half - one side is exposed to soap, the other is a control. You measure the number of colonies that grow in each petri dish and come up with the following results: petri dish soap control 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 10 5 7101911131719 811 10 16 20 171117 2618 21 25 2417 17 17 21 Perform a complete hypothesis test to see if there is a difference in bacterial colonies between the soap and control dishes. Again - notice that you are given no advice. You need to figure this out on your own, although this one should be a bit easier than (4).

In elderly patients with hypertension, a high systolic pressure can cause a fainting episode, so X transporting them to an emergency clinic is imperative. Let be the systolic blood pressure of elderly patients with hypertension on arrival at the emergency clinic after a fainting episode. A random sample of such patients was considered. The measurements of each patient, in mm Hg, are given below.

Suppose that this requires diagnoses by 20 different mechanics (so there were 4 incorrect diagnoses).

What is the mle of p? p̂ = Is it the same as the mle if a random sample of 20 mechanics results in 16 correct diagnoses? Explain.
