Q:
In a local ice skating contest, there were 2 judges and 15 contestants. Each judge was asked to rate each contestant on a 7-point scale. The most successful candidates received a rating value of 7, while the least successful candidates received a rating value of 1. It appears that the bivariate normal probability distribution assumption was severely violated. The City Council wants to know whether the judges have similar opinions in rating ice skating competitors. At a significance level of .01, the rejection point condition for the hypothesis test is
A. reject H0 if rs > .457.
B. reject H0 if rs > .623.
C. reject H0 if rs > .441.
D. reject H0 if rs > .646.
E. reject H0 if rs > .689.
Q:
A cholesterol test was given to 10 heart patients with high cholesterol levels. The same 10 heart patients are then given a new cholesterol-reducing drug for six months. Before the patients begin taking the drug, they are told to maintain their current diets and eating habits so that the effect of the drug can be more effectively determined. After taking the drug for six months, the same patients are given a cholesterol test again. The pharmaceutical company manufacturing the medicine wants to know if the drug is effective in reducing the cholesterol levels of the patients. The cholesterol levels before and after taking the drug are recorded for each patient. The population of cholesterol levels is not normally distributed. Which one of the following nonparametric tests is appropriate for this problem?
A. Wilcoxon signed ranks test
B. Wilcoxon rank sum test
C. sign test
D. Kruskal-Wallis test
E. Spearman's rank correlation test

Q:
The EPA has stipulated that the Pollution Standard Index (PSI) for clean air standards is to average no more than 100. A random sample of 9 days for the city of Acorn showed PSI readings of 144, 85, 90, 120, 150, 105, 93, 130, and 115. Assume the population of PSI readings is highly nonnormal. The EPA wants to determine if there is significant evidence to conclude that Acorn's air is dirtier than the stipulated clean air standards. Which one of the following tests is appropriate for this problem?A. Wilcoxon signed ranks testB. Wilcoxon rank sum testC. sign testD. Kruskal-Wallis testE. Spearman's rank correlation test
Q:
Five years ago, the average starting salary of a new college graduate with a major in marketing was $34,000.

Q:
A manufacturer of windows produces one type that has a plastic coating. The specification limits for the plastic coating are 30 and 70. From time to time the plastic coating can become uneven. Therefore, in order to keep the coating as even as possible, thickness measurements are periodically taken at four different locations on the window. 15 subgroups were observed, each consisting of four thickness measurements, with the following results: mean of the means = = 50.05, and average range = 8.85. Calculate the center line for the R chart.
A. 50.05
B. 8.85
C. 2.21
D. 0.59
Q:
A motorcycle manufacturer produces the parts for its vehicles in different locations and transports them to its plant for assembly. To keep the assembly operations running efficiently, it is vital that all parts be within specification limits. One important part used in the assembly is the engine camshaft, and one important quality characteristic is the case hardness depth. Specifications state that the hardness depth must be between 3.0 mm and 6.0 mm. To investigate the process, the quality control engineer selected 25 daily subgroups of n = 5 and measured the hardness depth. The process yielded a mean of the means = 4.50 and an average range = 1.01. Calculate the center line for the X-bar chart.
A. 1.01
B. 4.50
C. 3.49
D. 0.90
