In a study on the ecological impact of malarial infection in the lizard Scelopons occidentalis, researchers caught 15 lizards with the malarial parasite Plasmodium and 15 without. Researchers measured the distance (meters) each lizard could run in two minutes (as a measure of stamina). The following is the code and R output from the "t.test" function. t.test (x-infected, y-uninfected) Welch Two Sample t-test data: infected and uninfected t - -1.9658, df = 27.239, p-value - 0.05959 alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 0 95 percent confidence interval: -10.9523489 0.2323489 sample estimates: mean of x mean of y 26.87333 32.23333 What is the upper bound of the confidence interval?

Do various occupational groups differ in their diets? A British study of this question compared 98 drivers and 83 conductors of London double-decker buses. The conductors' jobs require more physical activity. The article reporting the study gives the data as "Mean daily consumption (+ se)." Some of the study results appear below. Drivers Total calories 2821 +44 Alcohol (grams) 0.24 0.06 Conductors 2844 +48 0.39 ± 0.11 Construct a 99% confidence interval for the difference in mean daily alcohol consumption between drivers and conductors.

The age of a tree can be determined by counting each annual growth ring in the trunk of the tree. A common measure of the size of a tree is the "diameter at breast height" DBH. "Breast height" is defined as 4 ½ feet above the uphill side of the tree.

To test whether the mean time needed to mix a batch of material is the same for machines produced by three manufacturers, the Jacobs Chemical Company obtained the following data on the time (in minutes) needed to mix the material. Compute the values below (to 2 decimals, if necessary). Sum of Squares, Treatment Sum of Squares, Error a. Use these data to test whether the population mean times for mixing a batch of material differ for the three manufacturers. Use a = 0.05.

The histogram displays the number of 2008 births among U.S. women ages 10 to 50 . Each bin represents an interval of two years, and the height of each bin represents the frequency with which the data fall within that interval.

A group of 100 people, who lived at varying distances (in kilometers) from an island nuclear power station, were asked if they thought a full evacuation of the area was required, when it went critical. The researches wanted to know if the opinion to evacuate or not depended on how far from the reactor people lived. Partial results of the questionnaire are shown in the table below. 0-3 km distance 3 -6 km distance 6 -9 km distance 9- 12 km distance Totals Evacuation needed X X X 51 Evacuation not X X XX needed Totals 28 28 23 XX XX You are doing a Chi Square test for independence. What is the expected value of the number of people living within a radius of 0-3 km who would say that evacuation was needed? XX denotes row/column totals. Give your answer to 2 decimal places.
