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.

Listed below are altitudes (thousands of feet) and outside air temperatures (°F) recorded during a flight. Find the (a) explained variation, (b) unexplained variation, and (c) indicated prediction interval. There is sufficient evidence to support a claim of a linear correlation, so it is reasonable to use the regression equation when making predictions. For the prediction interval, use a 95% confidence level with the altitude of 6327 ft (or 6.327 thousand feet). Altitude Temperature a. Find the explained variation.

The common fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is the most studied organism in genetic research because it is small, is easy to grow, and reproduces rapidly. The length of the thorax (where the wings and legs attach) in a population of male fruit flies is approximately Normal with mean 0.800 millimeters (mm) and standard deviation 0.078 mm. Use software or Table A. (a) What proportion of flies have thorax length less than 0.66 mm? (Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to two decimal places.) 6.18 proportion: Incorrect (b) What proportion of flies have thorax length greater than 0.93 mm? (Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to two decimal places.) 18.41 proportion: Incorrect
Unfortunately, arsenic occurs naturally in some ground water. A mean arsenic level of u = 8 parts per billion (ppb) is considered safe for agricultural use. A well in Los Banos is used to water cotton crops. This well is tested on a regular basis for arsenic. A random sample of 37 tests gave a sample mean of = 7.3ppb arsenic. It is known that o = 1.9 ppb for this type of data. Does this information indicate that the mean level of arsenic in this well is less than 8 ppb? Use the classical approach. Use a = 0.01 What is the Decision (step 5) for this problem? There is not sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level of significance to show the mean arsenic level in the Los Banos well is less than 7.3 ppb. O There is sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level of significance to show the mean arsenic level in the Los Banos well is less than 8.0 ppb. There is not sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level of significance to show the mean arsenic level in the Los Banos well is less than 8.0 ppb. O There is…
One measure of the risk or volatility of an individual stock is the standard deviation of the total return (capital appreciation plus dividends) over several periods of time. Although the standard deviation is easy to compute, it does not take into account the extent to which the price of a given stock varies as a function of a standard market index, such as the S&P 500. As a result, many financial analysts prefer to use another measure of risk referred to as beta. Betas for individual stocks are determined by simple linear regression. The dependent variable is the total return for the stock and the independent variable is the total return for the stock market. For this case problem we will use the S&P 500 index as the measure of the total return for the stock market, and an estimated regression equation will be developed using monthly data. The beta for the stock is the slope of the estimated regression equation (b1). The data contained in the file named Beta provides the…
By measuring the amount of time it takes a component of a product to move from one workstation to the next, a technologist has estimated that the standard deviation is 5.00 seconds. What sample size should be used in order to be 95% certain that the mean transfer is estimated to within ±1.00 seconds?
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.

The head of institutional research at a university believed that the mean age of full-time students was declining. In 1995, the mean age of a full-time student was known to be 27.4 years. After looking at the enrollment records of all 4934 full-time students in the current semester, he found that the mean age was 27.1 years, with a standard deviation of 7.3 years. He conducted a hypothesis of Ho: µ = 27.4 years versus H,: µ<27.4 years and obtained a P-value of 0.0020. He concluded that the mean age of full-time students did decline. Is there anything wrong with his research? Choose the correct answer below. O A. Yes, the head of institutional research has access to the entire population, inference is unnecessary. He can say with 100% confidence that the mean age has decreased. O B. Yes, the head of institutional research stated the hypotheses incorrectly; a left-tailed hypothesis test was conducted instead of a two-tailed test. O C. Yes, a P-value only indicates the likelihood of…
