An investigation of the properties of bricks used to line aluminum smelter pots was published in an article. Six different commercial bricks were evaluated. The life span of a smelter pot depends on the porosity of the brick lining (the less porosity, the longer the life span); consequently, the researchers measured the apparent porosity of each brick specimen, as well as the mean pore diameter of each brick. See the table. Apparent Porosity (y). Mean Pore Diameter (x). Click the icon to view the table. Data table Mean Pore Diameter Apparent Porosity (%) (micrometers) Brick Interpret the y-intercept of the line. Choose the correct answer below. 18.7 12.0 В 18.3 9.8 O A. The y-intercept is Bo- This value has no meaning because 0 is not in the observed range of the independent variable mean pore diameter. 16.3 7.3 6.9 5.4 O B. The y-intercept is Bo: For each unit increase in mean pore diameter, the mean porosity is estimated to increase by B0- 17.2 10.9 O C. There is not enough…
The following data are collected from pregnant women to compare the Plasma ascorbic acid level of smokers and non-smokers. Table: Plasma ascorbic acid values Non-smokers 0.97, 0.72, 1.00, 0.81, 0.62, 1.32, 1.14, 1.22, 0.90, 0.74, 0.88, 0.94 Smokers 0.88, 0.71, 0.98, 0.79, 1.01, 1.16, 0.78, 1.28 Test whether there is any difference between plasma ascorbic acid levels of smokers and non-smokers. Also find 95% confidence interval for the difference of two means. Describe your findings. Use alpha=0.05 [Hint: use hypothesis, test statistics confidence interval etc.]

On occasion, medical studies need to model the proportion of the population that has a disease and compare that to observed frequencies of the disease actually occurring. Suppose the end-stage renal failure in south-west Wales was collected for different age groups. Do the data in the table show that the observed frequencies are in agreement with proportion of people in each age group? Test at the 1% level. Renal Failure Frequencies Age group 16-29 30-44 45-59 60-74 75+ Total Observed Frequencies 125 152 134 124 48 583 Expected Proportion 0.23 0.25 0.22 0.21 0.09 State the hypotheses.H0: The observed frequencies in agreement with proportion of people in each age group.Ha: The observed frequencies in agreement with proportion of people in each age group. Calculate the χ2 test statistic. Round expected values to two decimal places. Round χ2 to 3 decimal places.χ2 = Calculate the p-value. Round to 3 decimal places.p-value = State your decision.Since p-value α,…
Refer to the data presented in Exercise 2.86. Note that there were 50% more accidents in the 25 to less than 30 age group than in the 20 to less than 25 age group. Does this suggest that the older group of drivers in this city is more accident- prone than the younger group? What other explanation might account for the difference in accident rates?
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. Presented is the data for beak heat loss, as a percent of total body heat loss from all sources, at various temperatures in degrees Celsius.
