The director for training at a company that manufactures electronic equipment is interested in determining whether different training methods have an effect on the productivity of assembly line employees. One of his employees who is tasked with testing this assumption randomly assigns 42 recently hired employees into two groups of 21, of which the first receives a computer assisted, individual-based training program and the other receive a team-based training program. Upon completion of the training, the employees are evaluated on the time (in seconds) it took to assemble a part. The results are as follows:
Computer-Assisted Team-Based
21.3 20.7 21.8 24.4 18.7 19.3
14.1 16.1 16.8 15.6 18.0 21.7
14.7 16.5 16.2 30.7 23.7 12.3
16.4 18.5 16.7 16.0 13.8 18.0
19.3 16.8 17.7 20.8 17.1 28.2
19.8 19.3 16.0 20.8 24.7 17.4
17.7 17.4 16.8 20.1 15.2 23.2
The director is an avid proponent of computer-assisted training and asserts even before the research study that the team-based training program will produce not only different, but higher times to assemble than the computer-assisted training program.
a) What would the researcher conclude with these data? (Assume a maximum type 1 error of 5% and state any assumptions you have to make).
b) What is the probability of a type 1 error in this situation? What does it mean?
c) Write a few sentences describing the findings, which will be presented to the director. What should you advise him or her?

Question about toxicology tests
: A body was discovered and diagnosed as having died due to oxygen deprivation. Explain why the toxicology tests included a test for cyanide poisoning.

|
Estimate the schmid factor
: Estimate the Schmid Factor, which is used to convert the CRSS into a critical tensile 'yield' stress. Use the measured angle between the slip trace and the sample long axis

Performing the indicated test of hypothesis
: Perform the indicated test of hypothesis. HO: M 7, given x= 0.01, N=25, Xbar = 7.019 and SD is =.1681. Assume the sample is selected from a normally distributed population.

Increase in plasma concentration of sodium or potassium
: Determine which do you think would have the most serious effect, and why: a 5 mEq/L increase in the plasma concentration of sodium, potassium, chloride, or calcium?

Probability of a type one error
: What is the probability of a type 1 error in this situation? What does it mean?

Original puc plasmids
: The pUC series plasmid contains LacZ gene with multiple cloning site. Suppose if you insert a piece of DNA into this LacZ gene, how will you tell which one is your recombinant.

|
Determining sample size requirements
: Determine sample size requirements. When the results are available you would like your margin of error to be plus or minus 5% for the satisfaction measure and plus or minus $1.50 for the spending value.

Two cells differ in abundance
: 2-cells vary in the amount of energy they need. One cell, a muscle cell, must generate large supplies of ATP. The other cell, a skin cell, requires very little ATP.

Distribution of sentence lengths
: In a distribution of sentence lengths in months like the following: 6, 12, 10, 18, 24, 360; which statistic would a researcher not want to report?
