A media personality argues that global temperatures are not rising, because every year an increase is reported such as 0.08 degrees C. The difference from the previous year is less than the margin of error of about 0.15 degrees C, so that difference should be ignored. What is a strong counterargument?

Weatherwise is a magazine published by the American Meteorological Society. One issue gives a rating system used to classify Nor'easter storms that frequently hit New England and can cause much damage near the ocean. A severe storm has an average peak wave height of u = 16.4 feet for waves hitting the shore. Suppose that a Nor'easter is in progress at the severe storm class rating. Peak wave heights are usually measured from land (using binoculars) off fixed cement piers. Suppose that a reading of 34 waves showed an average wave height of x = 16.7 feet. Previous studies of severe storms indicate that o = 3.5 feet. Does this information suggest that the storm is (perhaps temporarily) increasing above the severe rating? Use a = 0.01.

A patient is classified as having gestational diabetes if their average glucose level is above 140 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) one hour after a sugary drink is ingested. Rebecca's doctor is concerned that she may suffer from gestational diabetes. There is variation both in the actual glucose level and in the blood test that measures the level. Rebecca's measured glucose level one hour after ingesting the sugary drink varies according to the Normal distribution with μ=140+5 mg/dl and σ=5+1 mg/dl. Using the Central Limit Theorem, determine the probability of Rebecca being diagnosed with gestational diabetes if her glucose level is measured: Once? n=5+2 times n=5+4 times Comment on the relationship between the probabilities observed in (a), (b), and (c). Explain, using concepts from lecture why this occurs and what it means in context.
Ocean currents are important in studies of climate change, as well as ecology studies of dispersal of plankton. Drift bottles are used to study ocean currents in the Pacific near Hawaii, the Solomon Islands, New Guinea, and other islands. Let x represent the number of days to recovery of a drift bottle after release and y represent the distance from point of release to point of recovery in km/100. The following data are representative of one study using drift bottles to study ocean currents. 203 x days y km/100 72 76 32 14.7 94 11.7 19.5 5.3 35.6 (a) Verify that Ex = 477, Ey = 86.8, Ex? = 62,029, Ey2 = 2028.68, Exy = 11036.6, and r= 0.93853.

A magazine provided results from a poll of 1500 adults who were asked to identify their favorite pie. Among the 1500 respondents, 13% chose chocolate pie, and the margin of error was given as t4 percentage points. Describe what is meant by the statement that "the margin of error was given as ±4 percentage points." Choose the correct answer below. O A. The statement indicates that the interval 13% + 4% is likely to contain the true population percentage of people that prefer chocolate pie. O B. The statement indicates that the study is 100% - 4% = 96% confident that the true population percentage of people that prefer chocolate pie is 13%. C. The statement indicates that the study is only 4% confident that the true population percentage of people that prefer chocolate pie is exactly 13%. O D. The statement indicates that the true population percentage of people that prefer chocolate pie is in the interval 13% +4%.
