Concerns about climate change and CO2 reduction have initiated the commercial production of blends of biodiesel (e.g., from renewable sources) and petrodiesel (from fossil fuel). Random samples of 39 blended fuels are tested in a lab to ascertain the bio/total carbon ratio. (a) If the true mean is .9350 with a standard deviation of 0.0060, within what interval will 98 percent of the sample means fall? (Round your answers to 4 decimal places.) The interval is from to (b) If the true mean is .9350 with a standard deviation of 0.0060, what is the sampling distribution of X ? 1. Exactly normal with u = .9350 and o = 0.0060.

Biological oxygen demand (BOD) is a pollution index that is monitored in the treated effluent of paper mills. A certain paper mill has taken 31 samples over the past 3 months. The mean and standard deviation for the sample data are 3.42 and 0.728 ppm respectively. The mill would like to see if this sample indicates that the true average BOD in their treated effluent exceeds the targeted 3.00 ppm. Let ? = 0.05. A) The test statistic, (ttest), for this data set is: Note: Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.B) The p-value is: C) The statistical decision and corresponding English interpretation for this study are: Fail to reject Ha: conclude that the true BOD in treated effluent exceeds 3 ppmFail to reject Ho: we cannot conclude that the true BOD in treated effluent exceeds 3 ppm Reject Ha: we cannot conclude that the true BOD in treated effluent exceeds 3 ppmReject Ho: conclude that the true BOD in treated effluent exceeds 3 ppm

There are many situations in which we want to compare means from populations having standard deviations that are equal. This method applies even if the standard deviations are known to be only approximately equal. Consider a report regarding average incidence of fox rabies in two regions. For region I, n1 = 16, x1 ≈ 4.73, and s1 = 2.84 and for region II, n2 = 15, x2 ≈ 3.93, and s2 = 2.45. The two sample standard deviations are sufficiently close that we can assume ?1 = ?2. Use the method of pooled standard deviation to consider the report, testing if there is a difference in population mean average incidence of rabies at the 5% level of significance. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) t =
A math teacher claims that the mean scores on a math assessment test for fourth grade boys and girls are equal. The mean score for 13 randomly selected boys is 151 with a standard deviation of 36, and the mean score for 15 randomly selected girls is 149 with a standard deviation of 34. At α = 0.01, can you reject the teacher's claim? Assume the populations are normally distributed and the population variances are equal.
