280 45 Part a) Find an unbiased estimate of the population mean ¯yU . Suppose that the sample standard deviation is s = 170, estimate the variance of your unbiased estimator. (Ignore finite sample corrections) Part b) Suppose one treats the sample as a stratified random sample with proportional allocation. Re-estimate ¯yU using stratified sample mean and estimate the variance of this estimator. (Ignore finite sample corrections)

It is known that 10% of the items produced by a machine are defective. A random sample of 100 items is selected and checked for defects. What is the mean, standard deviation, and shape of the sampling distribution of the sample proportion for this study?

It is believed that Tai Chi, an ancient Chinese practice of exercise and medication, is more effective on relieving symptoms of chronic painful fibromyalgia than a widely-used wellness education method. A study is designed to test whether this belief is true or not. The study randomly assigned 35 fibromyalgia patients to take a 12-week Tai Chi class, and another 35 fibromyalgia patients to take a wellness education class. The results of the study are as follows: 27 patients in the Tai Chi class felt better at the end of the class; 15 patients in the wellness education class felt better […]

Case Problem 2 – PRODUCTION STRATEGY Better Fitness, Inc. (BFI), manufactures exercise equipment at its plant in Freeport, Long Island. It recently designed two universal weight machines for the home exercise market. Both machines use BFI-patented technology that provides the user with an extremely wide range of motion capability for each type of exercise performed. Until now, such capabilities have been available only on expensive weight machines used primarily by physical therapist. At a recent trade show, demonstration of the machines resulted in significant dealer interest. In fact, the number of orders that BFI received at the trade show far […]
