A pavement engineer is attempting to study the effect of adding polypropylene (PP) to asphalt concrete. The engineer claims that PP can improve the strength of asphalt concrete. Results of indirect tensile strength tests on asphalt concrete samples with and without PP are shown in Table Q2. At the 0.05 significance level, conduct a suitable statistical test to prove or disprove the engineer’s claim.

An experiment has been conducted to investigate the effects of carbon monixide in the breathing capability of human. The claim was breathing frequency is higher in the presence of CO. The data shows the result of the experiment (see picture). Assume that the breathing frequency is approximately normal. a) What should be the good hypotheses for this problem? b) At 0.05 level, what is the critical region? c) What is the t-value/z-score? d) Is the claim true at 0.05 level?
The toco toucan, the largest member of the toucan family, possesses the largest beak relative to body size of all birds. This exaggerated feature has received various interpretations, such as being a refined adaptation for feeding. However, the large surface area may also be an important mechanism for radiating heat (and hence cooling the bird) as outdoor temperature increases. Here are data for beak heat loss, as a percent of total body heat loss from all sources, at various temperatures in degrees Celsius. [Note: The numerical values in this problem have been modified for testing purposes.] Temperature (oC)(oC) 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 Percent heat loss from beak 33 32 33 32 39 43 56 48 44 49 44 56 58 60 60 63 The equation of the least-squares regression line for predicting beak heat loss, as a percent of total body heat loss from all sources, from temperature is: (Use decimal notation.

The Amercian Water Works Association reports that the per capita water use in a single family home is 69 gallons per day. A new housing development agency had builders intall more efficient water fixtures and conducted a survey of residents. 36 residents responded and the sample mean water use was 64 galons with a SD of 8.8 gallons per day. At the 0.10 level of significance, is that enough evidence to conclude that these residents surveyed are using less water on average ?

A state agency requires a minimum of 5 parts per million (ppm) of dissolved oxygen in order for the oxygen content to be sufficient to support aquatic life. Six water specimens taken from a river at a specific location during the low-water season (July) gave readings of 4.8, 5.2, 4.8, 4.9, 4.9, and 4.6 ppm of dissolved oxygen. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that the dissolved oxygen content is less than 5 ppm? Test using ? = 0.05. a) state null and alternate hypotheses b) state the test statistic c) state the rejection region d) state the conclusion

Assume that ρxy = .30 between weight and exercise for the population of normal adults. However, a researcher believes the relationship is stronger for children. The researcher tests a sample of 28 children and obtains an rxy = .47. Does this result support the researcher’s belief? Conduct an appropriate statistical test using an alpha level of .05.
According to a certain government agency for a large country, the proportion of fatal traffic accidents in the country in which the driver had a positive blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.34. Suppose a random sample of 109 traffic fatalities in a certain region results in 50 that involved a positive BAC. Does the sample evidence suggest that the region has a higher proportion of traffic fatalities involving a positive BAC than the country at the x = 0.01 level of significance? Because npo (1-Po) = 24.5 > 10, the sample size is (Round to one decimal place as needed.) What are the null and alternative hypotheses? p = 0.34 versus H₁: p > 0.34 Ho: p (Type integers or decimals.
