A student is concerned with the amount of air pollution students are exposed to in the school's parking lot after school. The student conducts an investigation to compare the quantity of particulate matter released from the diesel-powered buses, natural gas-powered buses, and the large and small cars as they idle waiting to pick up students. To make measurements, a small piece of white fabric is used to collect particulate matter from the tailpipe of each vehicle as it idles for five minutes. Each piece of fabric is then analyzed to measure the amount of particulate matter it collected. (i) Identify the independent variable in the investigation. (j) Identify one variable that was not mentioned in the description that could affect the results of the investigation. (k) Describe a realistic alternate sampling method to collect particulate matter from the vehicles in the investigation. (1) The student wants to ensure that the results are reliable. Explain how the student could modify the experimental design to make results of the investigation more reliable.

Can balloons hold more air or more water before bursting? A student purchased a large bag of 12-inch balloons. He randomly selected 10 balloons from the bag and then randomly assigned half of them to be filled with air until bursting and the other half to be filled with water until bursting. He used devices to measure the amount of air and water was dispensed until the balloons burst. Here are the data

You Got Gas have developed a new type of fuel additive that supposedly increases car speed. Before they put it out on the market, however, they need to test if it really is a difference compared to standard fuel. So, they took 6 vehicles and calculated the time it takes to for them to drive 1 mile going as fast as they can. They received the following data: Car ID# Course time (standard fuel in minutes) Course time (w/ additive in minutes) 1 35 27 2 40 35 3 25 27 4 40 39 5 95 94 6 32 18 6. What is the null and research hypothesis for this study? 7. What type of statistical test should we use to compare means (z-test, independent t-test, dependent t-test, or ANOVA)? Why? 8. What are the degrees of freedom? What are the critical values for that statistical test with this data at α = 0.05? α = 0.01? 9. Comparing the groups, is there a significant difference at α = 0.05 in lap time between eating the name bran and when they ate Dog Go? 10. How would the researcher…
