A state agency requires a minimum of 5 parts per million (ppm) of dissolved oxygen in order for the oxygen content to be sufficient to support aquatic life. Six water specimens taken from a river at a specific location during the low-water season (July) gave readings of 4.8, 5.2, 4.8, 4.9, 4.9, and 4.6 ppm of dissolved oxygen. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that the dissolved oxygen content is less than 5 ppm? Test using ? = 0.05. a) state null and alternate hypotheses b) state the test statistic c) state the rejection region d) state the conclusion

The processing of raw coal involves “washing,” in which coal ash (nonorganic, incombustible material) is removed. The article “Quantifying Sampling Precision for Coal Ash Using Gy’s Discrete Model of the Fundamental Error” (Journal of Coal Quality, 1989:33–39) provides data relating the percentage of ash to the volume of a coal particle. The average percentage of ash for six volumes of coal particles was measured. The data are as follows: Volume (cm3) 0.01 0.06 0.58 2.24 15.55 276.02 Percent ash 3.32 4.05 5.69 7.06 8.17 9.36 Using the most appropriate model, predict the percent ash for particles with a volume of 48 cm3. Round answer to three decimal places.

A 5-year study among 601 participants with retinitis pigmentosa assessed the effects of high-dose vitamin A (15,000 IU per day) and vitamin E (400 IU per day) on the course of their disease. One issue is to what extent supplementation with vitamin A affected their serum-retinol levels. The test used to analyze the effects of vitamins assumes that the distribution of serum retinol is approximately normal. To verify this assumption, the investigators obtained a frequency distribution of serum retinol at year O among males in the vitamin A group, with data as shown in the table below. The mean serum retinol for the group was 1.89 and the standard deviation was 0.36. n Serum- retinol group (μmol/L) ≤1.405 6 1.405-1.755 22 1.755-2.105 22 2.105-2.455 20 ≥2.455 3 1. Perform a statistical test to check on the normality assumption. Given your results, do you feel the assumption of normality is warranted? Why or why not?
2. In building an arena, steel bars with a mean ultimate tensile strength of 400 Megapascal (MPa) with a variance of 81 MPa were delivered by the manufacturer. The project engineer tested 50 steel bars and found out that the mean ultimate tensile strength is 390 MPa. The decision for the extension of the contract with the manufacturer depends on the engineer. Test the hypothesis whether there is no significant difference between the two means using a two - tailed with a = 0.01.
The article “Approximate Methods for Estimating Hysteretic Energy Demand on PlanAsymmetric Buildings” (M. Rathhore, A. Chowdhury, and S. Ghosh, Journal of Earthquake Engineering, 2011: 99–123) presents a method, based on a modal pushover analysis, of estimating the hysteretic energy demand placed on a structure by an earthquake. A sample of 18 measurements had a mean error of 457.8 kNm with a standard deviation of 317.7 kNm. An engineer claims that the method is unbiased, in other words, that the mean error is 0. Can you conclude that this claim is false?
The titanium content of steel is determined in two laboratories by means of atomic absorptionspectrometry. The following data were obtained: Lab 1 0.470 0.484 0.463 0.449 0.482 0.454 0.477 0.409 Lab 2 0.529 0.490 0.489 0.512 0.486 0.502 - - A. Determine the variance of the measurement data obtained in the two laboratories.B. Is there any significant difference between these variances?
Seedlings of understory trees in mature tropical rainforests must survive and grow using inter- mittent flecks of sunlight. How does the length of exposure to these flecks of sunlight (fleck duration) affect growth? Leakey et al. (2005) experimentally irradiated seedlings of the Southeast Asian rainforest tree Shorea leprosula with flecks of light of varying duration while maintaining the same total irradiance to all the seedlings. Their data for 21 seedlings are listed in the following table. i. What is the rate of change in relative growth rate per minute of fleck duration? provide a standard error for your estimate. ii. using these data, test the hypothesis that fleck duration affects seedling growth rate. iii. Calculate a 99% confidence interval for the slope of the population regression.
A study in a journal published by the American Academy of Pediatrics (as reported in the Miami Herald, Jan. 14, 1997) seems to suggest that preschoolers who drink more than 12 ounces of fruit juice a day tend to be heavier and shorter than preschoolers who do not. The study involved a random sample of 168 healthy youngsters of whom 59 drank on average more than 12 ounces of fruit juice per day. Each child was weighed and measured. The measurements were then converted to percentage of normal height and weight for a child of that age and gender. For example, a weight percentage of 1.1 indicates that the child is 10% heavier than average. A recorded 0.80 indicates the child is 20% below the average. An average weight is recorded as 1.0. Same with height. Column 1: Juice 1- indicates child DID drink > 12 oz 2- child DID NOT drink > 12 oz Column 2: Weight% weight converted to percent of…
The authors of the paper "Statistical Methods for Assessing Agreement Between Two Methods of Clinical Measurement"† compared two different instruments for measuring a person's ability to breathe out air. (This measurement is helpful in diagnosing various lung disorders.) The two instruments considered were a Wright peak flow meter and a mini-Wright peak flow meter. Seventeen people participated in the study, and for each person air flow was measured once using the Wright meter and once using the mini-Wright meter.
