High in the Rocky Mountains, a biology research team has drained a lake to get rid of all fish. After the lake was refilled, they stocked it with an endangered species of Greenback trout. Of the 2000 Greenback trout put into the lake 800 were tagged for later study. An electroshock method is used on individual fish to get a study sample. However, this method is hard on the fish. The research team wants to know the smallest number of fish that must be electroshocked to be at least 90% sure of getting a sample of two or more tagged trout. Please provide the answer. For more studies similar to this one, see A National Symposium on Catch and Release Fishing, Humboldt State University.

Types of Bias

Statistics is the study of data collection, organization, analysis, interpretation, and presentation. Statistical bias is a characteristic of a statistical technique or its findings in which the expected value deviates from the actual root quantitative parameter being estimated. According to the actual definition of bias, it refers to the tendency of a statistic to overestimate or underestimate a parameter.

Rivers in North Carolina contain small concentrations of mercury that can accumulate in fish over their lifetimes. The concentration of mercury in fish tissue can be obtained by catching fish and sending samples to a lab for analysis. A study was conducted on fish from the Waccamaw and Lumber Rivers to investigate mercury levels in tissues of largemouth bass. At several stations along each river a group of fish were caught, weighed and measured; in addition a filet from each fish was sent to a lab so that the tissue concentration of mercury could be determined. In all, 171 fish were caught at 15 different research stations along the Waccamaw and Lumber Rivers. Data from fish caught at one of these stations is shown in the following table: length weight 1616 47.0 1862 48.7 2855 55.7 1199 45.2 1320 44.7 1225 43.8 870 38.5 1455 45.8 1220 44.0 1033 40.4 Compute the correlation between length and weight for these fish.

The quality control engineer at Palmer Industries is interested in estimating the tensile strength of steel wire based on its outside diameter and the amount of molybdenum in the steel. As an experiment, she selected 25 pieces of wire, measured the outside diameters, and determined the molybdenum content. Then she measured the tensile strength of each piece. The results of the first four are recorded in the table. Tensile Strength Outside Diameter Amount of Molybdenum Place (PSI ) Y (mm) X1 (Units) X2 A 11 0.3 6 B 9 0.2 5 C 16 0.4 8 D 12 0.3 7 Using a statistical software package, the QC engineer determined the multiple regression equation to be Y’=-0.5+20X1+1X2. a) Based on the equation, what is the estimated tensile strength of a steel wire having an outside diameter of .35 mm and 6.4 units of molybdenum? b) Interpret the value of b1 in the equation.
Shrubs that Withstand Fire Fire is a serious threat to shrubs in dry climates. Some shrubs can resprout from their roots after their tops are destroyed. One study of resprouting took place in a dry area of Mexico. The investigators first clipped the tops of all the shrubs in the study. For the treatment, they then applied a propane torch to the stumps of the shrubs to simulate a fire, and for the control the stumps were left alone. The study included 24 shrubs of which 12 were randomly assigned to the treatment and the remaining 12 to the control. A shrub is a success if it resprouts. For the shrub Xerospirea hartwegiana, all 12 shrubs in the control group resprouted, whereas only 8 in the treatment group resprouted. How much does burning reduce the proportion of shrubs of this species that resprout? Give the 95% plus four confidence interval for the amount by which burning reduces the proportion of shrubs of this species that resprout. The plus four method is particularly helpful…
High in the Rocky Mountains, a biology research team has drained a lake to get rid of all fish. After the lake was refilied, they stocked it with an endangered species of Greenback trout. Of the 2,000 Greenback trout put into the lake 700 were tagged for later study. An electroshock method is used on individual fish to get a study sample. However, this method is hard on the fish. The research team wants to know the smallest number of fish that must be electroshocked to be at least80%sure of getting a sample of two or more tagged trout. Please provide the answer.

A researcher was interested in how much longer the heart rate recovery time is for untrained college students compared to athletically trained college students. Eleven athletically untrained college students and nine athletically trained college students were put on a treadmill for fifteen minutes and then tested to see how many minutes it took for their heart rates to return to normal. The results of the study are shown below. Untrained: 8, 7, 7.2, 6.9, 7.8, 8.8, 8, 8, 8.8, 7.3, 8.6 Trained: 1.5, 1.5, 1.8, 2, 1.9, 2.3, 2.3, 2.4, 2.2 Assume both follow a Normal distribution. Compute the 95% confidence interval for the difference. Round to one decimal place. ( ___________ , _____________ )

You want to determine the effect of soap on bacterial colonies. In order to make sure that the environment does not affect your experiment, you divide 13 different petri dishes in half - one side is exposed to soap, the other is a control. You may use R but please show all the steps and codes involved. You measure the number of colonies that grow in each petri dish and come up with the following results: petri dish: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13soap: 10 5 7 10 19 11 13 17 19 8 11 10 16control: 20 17 11 17 26 18 21 25 24 17 17 17 21 Perform a complete hypothesis test to see if there is a difference in bacterial colonies between the soap and control dishes.
A pharmaceutical company wanted to study the effectiveness of a new hair growth product in women. It recruited 1100 random women from the L.A. area and measured the length of their hair. They gave 500 women the new product in unmarked bottles to use over a 6-month period. The other 600 women received unmarked bottles with mostly water and fragrance to use over a 6-month period. None of the women knew which product they received. They found that 450 out of 500 women that received the new product showed hair growth of 1-2 inches. Only 90 out of 600 women that used the water/fragrance combination showed hair growth of 1-2 inches. What percentage of women that received the treatment showed hair growth of 1-2 inches? Answer: 450/ 500= 0.9= 90%

Three products were used in a hot summer to keep the pool chlorine level high. Each product was used in 6 pools, and there was a total of 18 pools in the experiment. The same amount of chlorine was added to each pool (A, B, or C) and the conditions such as pool size, temperature, sun exposure etc. were similar. The chlorine levels (%) were measured and recorded after 24 hours of using the products. The percentages in the table below are the percentage of the chlorine added to the pool remaining after this 24 hours. The data is as follows: A 96 56 52 66 70 60 B 44 36 34 50 40 48 с 723227 34 40 20 24 a) Find the overall mean of the chlorine level across all the pools measured, and then find the mean of the chlorine level for each product.
