In an experiment to determine the impacts of domestic and industrial waste accumulation on plant growth and development, a student took monthly measurements of the height and other growth parameters of maize plants grown in two different types of soil: Soil A (obtained from a domestic and industrial waste dump site) and Soil B (obtained from the University Farms, Legon). A summary of the height data obtained for two-month old maize plants is given below. Soil A Soil B Mean height of maize plants (cm) 39.2 32.6 Standard

Based on the data of air pollution in Los Angeles in 2019, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) decided to publish a new stricter regulation effective in January 2020 to reduce hydrocarbon pollution. EPA wants to evaluate whether the new regulation makes significant differences in reducing pollution. EPA collects data of monthly hydrocarbon pollution level as follows: Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec 2019 7.3 6.0 5.4 5.9 3.9 5.7 6.9 7.6 6.3 5.8 5.1 5.9 2020 5.3 6.1 5.6 5.7 3.7 4.7 6.1 7.2 6.4 5.7 4.9 5.8

Water availability is of prime importance in the life cycle of most reptiles. To determine the rate of evaporative water loss of a certain species of lizard at a particular desert site, 34 such lizards were randomly collected, weighed and placed under the appropriate experimental conditions. After 24 hours, each lizard was removed, weighed, and its total water loss was calculated by subtracting its body weight after treatment from its initial body weight. Previous studies have shown that the relative frequency distribution of water loss for this species of lizard has a mean of 3.1 grams and a s.d. of 0.8 gram. a) What is the approximate sampling distribution of x , the mean water loss of the 34 lizards

Dataset for question (4.2.) Amount of Money Spent on Vehicle extras by 7 customers: Customer Amount_Spent х1 2300 x2 2386 x3 1920 х4 1578 x5 3065 х6 2312 x7 1790 4.2. A car dealer wants to know if the purchasing habits of buyers buying extras for their vehicles have changed. He is particularly interested in determining if male buyers are willing to spend more money on extras for their cars. Based on data collected over the past year, he has estimated that the distribution of the amount of money spent on extras is approximately normally distributed with an average of R2 000 per customer. To test this hypothesis, he has collected the following information concerning the amount of money that the last seven male customers have spent on extras (Rands). Provide all the steps.

Denny studied factors affecting cardiovascular reactivity to a postural change in a sample of healthy men and women. Change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) from supine to standing position was used as the measure of cardiac reactivity in a sample of 842 adults. Supine measurement of blood pressure was taken after participants had lain on an examination table for 15 minutes. Blood pressure was determined every 30 seconds using a Dinamap device for 2 minutes, and the measurements were averaged. Participants then stood up immediately, and additional measurements were made for another 2 minutes. Below is a table describing the characteristics of Denny’s sample: Which measures of dispersion, if any, are presented in this table (Ranges, SDs)? If age is normally distributed, approximately what percent of the sample would be younger than 50? If BMI is normally distributed, approximately what percent of the sample would have a BMI higher than 33.1?
