An article in Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, "Arthroscopic meniscal repair with an absorbable screw: results andsurgical technique," (2005, Vol. 13, pp. 273-279) cites a success rate more than 90% for meniscal tears with a rim width of less than 3mm, but only a 67% success rate for tears of 3-6 mm. If you are unlucky enough to suffer a meniscal tear of less than 3 mm on your leftknee, and one of width 3-6 mm on your right knee, what are the mean and variance of the number of successful surgeries? Assume thesurgeries are independent.Round your answers to three decimal places (e.g. 98.765).Mean = iVariance =

Here we have to find mean and variance

Wild irises are beautiful flowers found throughout the United States, Canada, and northern Europe. This problem concerns the length of the sepal (leaf-like part covering the flower) of different species of wild iris. Data are based on information taken from an article by R. A. Fisher in Annals of Eugenics (Vol. 7, part 2, pp. 179 -188). Measurements of sepal length in centimeters from random samples of Iris setosa (I), Iris versicolor (II), and Iris virginica (III) are as follows below.

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.

PLE collects a variety of data from special studies, many of which are related to the quality of its products. The company collects data about functional test performance of its mowers after assembly; results from the past 30 days are given in the worksheet Mower Test. In addition, many in-process measurements are taken to ensure that manufacturing processes remain in control and can produce according to design specifications. The worksheet Blade Weight shows 350 measurements of blade weights taken from the manufacturing process that produces mower blades during the most recent shift. Elizabeth Burke has asked you to study these data from an analytics perspective. Drawing upon your experience, you have developed a number of questions: For the mower test data, what distribution might be appropriate to model the failure of an individual mower? What fraction of mowers fails the functional performance test using all the mower test data? What is the probability of having x failures in the…

Case scenario: A cohort study involved an assessment of the relationship between cigarette smoking and incuof lung cancer. For cigarette smokers, the lung cancer incidence rate was Iexp = 200 per 100,000. For nonsmokers, the lung cancer incidence rate was Iunexp = 25 per 100,000. The lung cancer incidence rate in the entire population was Itotal = 100 per 100,000. A) what is the relative risk (risk ratio) of developing lung cancer? Interpret this value in plain language? B) calculate the attributable risk and interpret this value in plain language? C) calculate the attributable-risk percent and interpret this value in plain language? D) is cigarette smoking a risk factor for lung cancer? Explain your answer. E) Hypothetically speaking, if cigarette smoking could be eliminated from this population, what percentage of lung cancer could be avoided?
If a treatment is expected to decrease scores in a population with µ= 30, then the alternative hypothesis is µ ≤ 30. True or false?
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.
