1. A hospital administrator noticed that the first nonemergency surgery scheduled each day often started late. If the first scheduled surgery got delayed, then all of the other surgeries scheduled for that day also got delayed. For three weeks (a total of 15 days) the administrator recorded how many minutes past the scheduled time the first surgery began each weekday. The data are shown in the table below.

The administrator sent a memo to the hospital’s entire surgical staff to ask that everyone work to reduce the delay in the starting time for the first nonemergency surgery each day. The administrator recorded how many minutes past the scheduled starting time the first scheduled surgery began each weekday for the three weeks after the memo was sent out. The data are shown in the table below. A negative number in the table indicates that the surgery started earlier than the scheduled time.

The dotplots below display the distributions of minutes past the scheduled starting time before the memo went out and after the memo went out.

(a) Based only on the dotplots, does it appear that the distribution of minutes past the scheduled starting time changed after the memo was sent? Explain.

(b) The hospital administrator wants to perform a two-sample t-test to determine whether the average number of minutes past the scheduled starting time changed after the memo was sent. State the conditions for that test. For each condition, comment on whether it appears to be met.

2. A certain company makes three grades (A, B, and C) of a particular electrical component. Historically, grade A components have a 2 percent defective rate, grade B components have a 5 percent defective rate, and grade C components have a 10 percent defective rate. Since grade A components are less likely to be defective, the company can charge more money for those components than it can charge for the grade B or C components. Similarly, the company can charge more money for grade B components than it can charge for grade C components.

Recently, the company found a batch of components in a warehouse that were known to be of the same grade, but the grade was not labeled on the components. To determine the grade (A, B, or C), the company selected from that batch a random sample of 200 components, which contained 16 defective components.

(a) Construct and interpret a 95 percent confidence interval for the proportion of defective components in the batch.

If you need more room for your work in part (a), use the space below.

(b) Does the interval calculated in part (a) allow the company to clearly determine the grade of component that was produced in the batch? Explain.
