A random sample of 160 car accidents are selected and categorized by the age of the driver determined to be at fault. The results are listed below. The age distribution of drivers for the given categories is 18% for the under 26 group, 39% for the 26-45 group, 31% for the 45-65 group, and 12% for the group over 65. Find the rejection region used to test the claim that all ages have crash rates proportional to their number of drivers.

The following is data about the hemoglobin concentrations of volunteers collected at sea level and at an altitude of 11000 feet. sea level concentrations = [14.70 , 15.22, 15.28, 16.58, 15.10 , 15.66, 15.91, 14.41, 14.73, 15.09, 15.62, 14.92]11000 feet concentrations = [14.81, 15.68, 15.57, 16.59, 15.21, 15.69, 16.16, 14.68, 15.09, 15.30 , 16.15, 14.76] There are two alternative scenarios about the way the data were obtained. In scenario 1, there are 12 volunteers who lived for a month at sea level, at which time blood was drawn and the data in "sea level concentrations" dataset were obtained. Subsequently, all 12 volunteers were moved to 11000 ft and after a month the data in the "11000 feet concentrations" dataset obtained. There is a one to one correspondence between the numbers in the two datasets, that is the first numbers correspond to volunteer1, the second numbers to volunteer2 etc. In scenario 2, the "sea level concentrations" dataset is a random sample obtained from 12…

PETROGAS is testing new filters for its motorbikes. One brand of filter (Filter A) is placed in one motorbike, and the other brand (Filter B) is placed in the second motorbike. Random samples of air released from the motorbikes are taken at different times throughout the day. Pollutant concentrations are measured for both motorbikes at the same time. The following data attached represent the pollutant concentrations (in parts per million) for samples taken at 20 different times after passing through the filters. a. Test the hypothesis that the mean for the pollutant concentration for Filter B is greater than 30. Use the 1% level of significance. b. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean pollutant concentration, where a difference is equal to the pollutant concentration passing through Filter A minus the passing through Filter B. c. Using the 5% significance level, determine whether there is evidence that mean for the pollutant concentration for Filter A…
Suppose we are interested in studying the relationship between the shelf life of cheeses in a dairy factory and the thickness of the packaging material used for those cheeses. We would like to determine if there is a causal relationship between the thickness of the packaging material and the shelf life of the cheese; that is, does a change in the thickness of the packaging material cause a change in the shelf life of the cheese? Select the study that would be best source of evidence for establishing the existence of a causal relationship. Select one: O a. A study which uses a stratified random sample, stratifying by type of cheese, to select units of cheese in the factory and determine the thickness of the packaging material and test the shelf life of each unit. O b. A study which uses a cluster sample, clustering by room the cheese is stored in, to select units of cheese in the factory and determine the thickness of the packaging material and test the shelf life of each unit. O c. A…
