A radiation detector is used to measure the danger to humans working in a particular room. For illustration, we will model X = the number of radioactive "clicks" registered in a standard time period as a Poisson with mean A. That is to say, P(X = k) = e-dAk for k = 0, 1, 2, ... k! Presume that A = 2 is "safe" but larger means (indicating higher radiation levels) are not. Suppose that one determines to declare that there is an unsafe radiation level if X > 3.

Approximate the population mean and standard deviation of age for females. By the way, we find the midpoints by adding the first numbers before the hyphens in the age column and then dividing by 2 (ex: 0+10/2=5, 10+20/2=15, 20+30/2=25).
Climate change 2013 Data collected from around the globe show that the earth is getting warmer. The most common theory relates climate change to an increase in atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas. The mean annual CO2 concentration in the atmosphere (parts per million) is measured at the top of Mauna Loa in Hawaii (away from any local contaminants) and available at ftp://aftp.cmdl.noaa.gov/products/trends/co2/co2_annmean_mlo.txt The mean surface air temperature is recorded as the change in °C relative to a base period of 1951 to 1980. It is available at data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/graphs_v3/ Here are a scatterplot and regression for the years from 1970 to 2013: 14.6 + 14.4 + 14.2 + 14.0 340 360 380 CO2 Response variable is R-squared = 73.6% R-squared (adjusted) = 72.9% s = 0.1316 with 44 – 2 = 42 degrees of freedom Global Avg Temp Variable Coefficient SE(Coeff) t-Ratio P-Value Intercept 10.6442 0.3418 31.1 S0.0001 0.010325 0.0010 10.8 S0.0001 a) Write the…

Chapt 4, Q8: Answer this question please The antibody production of 12 male red-winged blackbirds before and after receiving testosterone implants was compared. The units for antibody levels were natural log (10-3 optical density) per minute (ln(mOD/min)). The mean change in antibody production was d = 0.056, and the standard deviation was sd = 0.240 If you were assigned the task of repeating this experiment, and wanted to ensure that you could detect a mean change of 0.08 units with a probability of 0.8, then what sample size would you use? Since we are calculating n for a study of individuals, answers should be rounded to the closest whole number.
Below is data of lobster sales volume from a seafood company.

qu(16): The flavour of juicy fruit is said to last on average 2 minutes. A consumer product reseacher wanted to find out if this is true. and hypothezise than juicy fruit would last longer due to changing sticks to pellet pieces. The reseacher tested 10 pieces and the following data was recorded 1.45 , 1.50, 1.45, 1.75, 2.15, 2.20 , 1.80 , 1.95, 2.05, 1.60 Test the hypotheses at the 5% level of using the following 5 step procedure. Step1: Set up Null hypothesis Step 2: Set up Alternative hypothesis. Step 3: Choose the level of signifance. Step 4: Compute Zobt( using the z score) Step 5: compare Zobt and Zcrt and make a decision.
