A river was found to be contaminated with toxins at a concentration of 0.006 grams per cubic meter near a mine tailings pond. 1500 meters away, the concentration was found to be 0.004 grams grams per cubic meter. Assume the concentration drops off linearly going downstream, and it is uniform over the 50 square meter cross section. How many grams of toxins do you estimate have leaked from the tailings pond? a. 675 grams b. 650 grams c. 700 grams d. 625 grams

Shortleaf Pines. The ability to estimate the volume of a tree based on a simple measurement, such as the diameter of the tree, is important to the lumber industry, ecologists, and conservationists. Data on volume, in cubic feet, and diameter at breast height, in inches, for 70 shortleaf pines was reported in C. Bruce and F. X. Schumacher’s Forest Mensuration (New York: McGraw-Hill, 1935) and analyzed by A. C. Akinson in the article “Transforming Both Sides of a Tree” (The American Statistician, Vol. 48, pp. 307–312). The data are provided on the WeissStats site. a. obtain and interpret the standard error of the estimate. b. obtain a residual plot and a normal probability plot of the residuals. c. decide whether you can reasonably consider Assumptions 1–3 for regression inferences met by the two variables under consideration.
Suppose a shower head pours 1.3 gallons of water per minute into the tub. The drain has a clog and allows for only 0.6 gallons of water per minute to exit the tub. What is the net flow that applies to the tub (in gallons per minute, rounded to the nearest 0.1 gal/min).
Wolf packs tend to be large extended family groups that have a well-defined hunting territory. Wolves not in the pack are driven out of the territory or killed. In ecologically similar regions, is the size of an extended wolf pack related to size of hunting region? Using radio collars on wolves, the size of the hunting region can be estimated for a given pack of wolves. Let x represent the number of wolves in an extended pack and y represent the size of the hunting region in km2/1000. The following data are representative of one of the national parks. x wolves 29 37 22 61 94 y km2/1000 7.35 12.18 8.15 15.39 16.81 (a) Verify that Σx = 243, Σy = 59.88, Σx2 = 15,251, Σy2 = 788.2256, Σxy = 3362.04, and r ≈ 0.9135.

An ecologist hypothesizes a relationship between wing span of birds and the width of tree branches they use. The ecologist captured male birds, measured their wing span and other characteristics in millimeters, and then marked and released them. During the ensuing winter, the ecologist repeatedly observed the marked birds as they foraged for food on tree branches. He noted the branch diameter on each occasion, and calculated the average branch diameter for each bird in centimeters. The measurement data are below. What can the ecologist conclude with an a of 0.10? wing span branch diameter 79.3 80.1 80.7 81.5 79.5 80.7 81.1 80.5 80.7 1.02 1.04 1.21 1.15 1.21 1.56 1.39 1.31 1.39 a) What is the appropriate statistic?
