A fisherman is interested in whether the distribution of fish caught in Green Valley Lake is the same as the distribution of fish caught in Echo Lake. Of the 191 randomly selected fish caught in Green Valley Lake, 105 were rainbow trout, 27 were other trout, 35 were bass, and 24 were catfish. Of the 293 randomly selected fish caught in Echo Lake, 115 were rainbow trout, 58 were other trout, 67 were bass, and 53 were catfish. Perform the hypothesis test at a 5% level of significance.

• 3
• Chi-Square with df = 3
• 11.75
• p-value = 0.0083

• ii. Reject the null hypothesis.
iv. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the distribution of fish in Green Valley Lake is not the same as the distribution of fish in Echo Lake.

A plant manager is concerned her equipment may need recalibrating. It seems that the actual weight of the 15 oz. cereal boxes it fills has been fluctuating. The standard deviation should be at most $\frac{1}{2}$ oz. In order to determine if the machine needs to be recalibrated, 84 randomly selected boxes of cereal from the next day’s production were weighed. The standard deviation of the 84 boxes was 0.54. Does the machine need to be recalibrated?

• 83
• Chi-Square with df = 83
• 96.81
• p-value = 0.1426; There is a 0.1426 probability that the sample standard deviation is 0.54 or more.
• Decision: Do not reject null; Conclusion: There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the standard deviation is more than 0.5 oz. It cannot be determined whether the equipment needs to be recalibrated or not.

Consumers may be interested in whether the cost of a particular calculator varies from store to store. Based on surveying 43 stores, which yielded a sample mean of $84 and a sample standard deviation of$12, test the claim that the standard deviation is greater than \$15.

Isabella, an accomplished Bay to Breakers runner, claims that the standard deviation for her time to run the 7 ½ mile race is at most 3 minutes. To test her claim, Rupinder looks up 5 of her race times. They are 55 minutes, 61 minutes, 58 minutes, 63 minutes, and 57 minutes.

• Chi-Square with df = 4
• 4.52
• 0.3402
• Decision: Do not reject null.

Airline companies are interested in the consistency of the number of babies on each flight, so that they have adequate safety equipment. They are also interested in the variation of the number of babies. Suppose that an airline executive believes the average number of babies on flights is 6 with a variance of 9 at most. The airline conducts a survey. The results of the 18 flights surveyed give a sample average of 6.4 with a sample standard deviation of 3.9. Conduct a hypothesis test of the airline executive’s belief.

The number of births per woman in China is 1.6 down from 5.91 in 1966 (Source World Bank, 6/5/12 ). This fertility rate has been attributed to the law passed in 1979 restricting births to one per woman. Suppose that a group of students studied whether or not the standard deviation of births per woman was greater than 0.75. They asked 50 women across China the number of births they had. Below are the results. Does the students’ survey indicate that the standard deviation is greater than 0.75?

• 49
• Chi-Square with df = 49
• 54.37
• p-value = 0.2774; If the null hypothesis is true, there is a 0.2774 probability that the sample standard deviation is 0.79 or more.
• Decision: Do not reject null; Conclusion: There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the standard deviation is more than 0.75. It cannot be determined if the standard deviation is greater than 0.75 or not.

According to an avid aquariest, the average number of fish in a 20–gallon tank is 10, with a standard deviation of 2. His friend, also an aquariest, does not believe that the standard deviation is 2. She counts the number of fish in 15 other 20–gallon tanks. Based on the results that follow, do you think that the standard deviation is different from 2? Data: 11; 10; 9; 10; 10; 11; 11; 10; 12; 9; 7; 9; 11; 10; 11

The manager of "Frenchies" is concerned that patrons are not consistently receiving the same amount of French fries with each order. The chef claims that the standard deviation for a 10–ounce order of fries is at most 1.5 oz., but the manager thinks that it may be higher. He randomly weighs 49 orders of fries, which yields a mean of 11 oz. and a standard deviation of 2 oz.

• ${\sigma }^{2}\le {\left(1\text{.}5\right)}^{2}$
• 48

• 0.0007
• Decision: Reject null.

## Try these true/false questions.

As the degrees of freedom increase, the graph of the chi-square distribution looks more and more symmetrical.

True

The standard deviation of the chi-square distribution is twice the mean.

False

The mean and the median of the chi-square distribution are the same if $\text{df}=\text{24}$ .

False

In a Goodness-of-Fit test, the expected values are the values we would expect if the null hypothesis were true.

True

In general, if the observed values and expected values of a Goodness-of-Fit test are not close together, then the test statistic can get very large and on a graph will be way out in the right tail.

True

The degrees of freedom for a Test for Independence are equal to the sample size minus 1.

False

Use a Goodness-of-Fit test to determine if high school principals believe that students are absent equally during the week or not.

True

The Test for Independence uses tables of observed and expected data values.

True

The test to use when determining if the college or university a student chooses to attend is related to his/her socioeconomic status is a Test for Independence.

True

The test to use to determine if a six-sided die is fair is a Goodness-of-Fit test.

True

In a Test of Independence, the expected number is equal to the row total multiplied by the column total divided by the total surveyed.

True

In a Goodness-of Fit test, if the p-value is 0.0113, in general, do not reject the null hypothesis.

False

For a Chi-Square distribution with degrees of freedom of 17, the probability that a value is greater than 20 is 0.7258.

False

If $\text{df}=2$ , the chi-square distribution has a shape that reminds us of the exponential.

True

do you think it's worthwhile in the long term to study the effects and possibilities of nanotechnology on viral treatment?
absolutely yes

how to know photocatalytic properties of tio2 nanoparticles...what to do now
it is a goid question and i want to know the answer as well

Do somebody tell me a best nano engineering book for beginners?
what is fullerene does it is used to make bukky balls
are you nano engineer ?
s.
fullerene is a bucky ball aka Carbon 60 molecule. It was name by the architect Fuller. He design the geodesic dome. it resembles a soccer ball.
Tarell
what is the actual application of fullerenes nowadays?
Damian
That is a great question Damian. best way to answer that question is to Google it. there are hundreds of applications for buck minister fullerenes, from medical to aerospace. you can also find plenty of research papers that will give you great detail on the potential applications of fullerenes.
Tarell
what is the Synthesis, properties,and applications of carbon nano chemistry
Mostly, they use nano carbon for electronics and for materials to be strengthened.
Virgil
is Bucky paper clear?
CYNTHIA
so some one know about replacing silicon atom with phosphorous in semiconductors device?
Yeah, it is a pain to say the least. You basically have to heat the substarte up to around 1000 degrees celcius then pass phosphene gas over top of it, which is explosive and toxic by the way, under very low pressure.
Harper
Do you know which machine is used to that process?
s.
how to fabricate graphene ink ?
for screen printed electrodes ?

Azam
anybody can imagine what will be happen after 100 years from now in nano tech world
Prasenjit
after 100 year this will be not nanotechnology maybe this technology name will be change . maybe aftet 100 year . we work on electron lable practically about its properties and behaviour by the different instruments
Azam
name doesn't matter , whatever it will be change... I'm taking about effect on circumstances of the microscopic world
Prasenjit
how hard could it be to apply nanotechnology against viral infections such HIV or Ebola?
Damian
silver nanoparticles could handle the job?
Damian
not now but maybe in future only AgNP maybe any other nanomaterials
Azam
Hello
Uday
I'm interested in Nanotube
Uday
this technology will not going on for the long time , so I'm thinking about femtotechnology 10^-15
