Due: ame: Unit 3 15. Imagine getting your car checked out for a serious problem (check engine light comes on). Is it really serious? Let's say the diagnostic machine is correct within 98% accuracy. If a mechanic sees a total of 8000 cars/trucks in a single year, how many are accurate? Complete the chart and answer the questions below. Imagine that out of the 8000 people, 5% actually did need work done. Fill out the chart below to test for accuracy of the machine.

Weatherwise is a magazine published by the American Meteorological Society. One issue gives a rating system used to classify Nor'easter storms that frequently hit New England and can cause much damage near the ocean. A severe storm has an average peak wave height of ? = 16.4 feet for waves hitting the shore. Suppose that a Nor'easter is in progress at the severe storm class rating. Peak wave heights are usually measured from land (using binoculars) off fixed cement piers. Suppose that a reading of 37 waves showed an average wave height of x = 16.5 feet. Previous studies of severe storms indicate that ? = 3.5 feet. Does this information suggest that the storm is (perhaps temporarily) increasing above the severe rating? Use ? = 0.01.
Do You Have a Fever? Sometimes when you are sick, your forehead feels really warm. You might have fever. How can you find out whether you do? By taking your temperature , of course. But what temperature should the thermometer show if your're healthy? Is this temperature the same for everyone? Several years ago, researchers conducted a study to determine whether the "accepted" value for normal body temperature, 98.6oF, is accurate. They used an oral thermometer to measure the temperatures of a random sample of healthy men and women aged 18 to 40. As is often the case, the researchers did not provide their original data. Allen Shoemaker, from Calvin College, produced a data set with the same properties as the original temperature readings. His data set consists of one oral temperature reading for each of the 130 randomly chosen, healthy 18- to 40-year-olds. A dotplot of Shoemaker's temperature data is shown below. A vertical line at 98.6oF was added for reference. Statcrunch Data…

Certain car manufacturers install a gauge that tells the driver how many miles they can drive until they will run out of gas. A study was conducted to test the accuracy of these gauges. Each driver was assigned a certain gauge reading until empty to watch for. When their car announced it had that many miles remaining until empty, they began to measure their distance traveled. After they ran out of gas, they reported the distance they were able to drive (in miles) as well as the gauge reading they were assigned (in miles). Here is computer output showing the regression analysis: Identify and interpret the slope of the regression line used for predicting the actual distance that can be driven based on the gauge reading. (A) Slope = 1.1889. The predicted distance the drivers were able to drive increases by 1.1889 miles for each additional mile reported by the gauge. (B) Slope = 0.0457. The predicted distance the drivers were able to drive increases by 0.0457 miles for each additional…
