On April 20th, 2010, an explosion and fire on an oil rig operated by British Petroleum (BP) caused the worst oil spill in history. Or May 20h, the Associated Press reported, "oil has been pouring into the Gulf from a blown-out undersea well at a rate of at least 210,000 gallons per day" Unfortunately, this turned out to be a best-case estimate. On June 20th, 2010, Associated Press reported that a confidential memo by BP gave a worst-case estimate of 4.2 million gallons per day pouring into the ocean. a. What is the difference in gallons per day between the worst-and best-case scenarios? Use scientific notation to express your answer. The worst-case scenario was Nx 10" gallons per day more than the best-case scenario, where N = and n = b.How many times larger is the worst-case scenario than the best-case? The worst-case scenario is times larger than the best-case scenario. C. After 105 days, a temporary cap on the pipe began to stop the spill. Using the best-case scenario, estimate how much oil was spilled over 105 days. Using the worst-case, how much was spilled? Worst-case: N x 10" gallons, where N = and n = Best-case: N x 10" gallons, where N = and n =

An article in Quality Engineering presents viscosity data from a batch chemical process. A sample of these data is in the table. Reading left to right and up to down, draw a time series plot of all the data and comment on any features of the data that are revealed by this plot. Consider that the first 40 observations (the first 4 columns) were generated from a specific process, whereas the last 40 observations were generated from a different process. Does the plot indicate that the two processes generate similar results? Calculate the sample mean and sample variance of the first 40 and the second 40 observations.

Two geysers that are near to each other are labelled as Geyser A and Geyser B. The time between eruptions for a given geyser follows an exponential distribution. The eruption times of the two geysers are independent of one another. The mean amount of time between eruptions of Geyser A is 39 minutes, and the mean amount of time between eruptions of Geyser B is 66 minutes. Given that exactly one of the geysers erupts within the next 49 minutes, determine the probability that it will be Geyser A. O 0.6654 0.7850 O 0.7252 O 0.6953 O 0.7551

Use a z-table such as https://www.math.arizona.edu/~rsims/ma464/standardnormaltable.pdf or an online calculator such as http://onlinestatbook.com/2/calculators/normal_dist.html to answer the following question: This question again refers to the study on blood pressure. What proportion of the population has a blood pressure that is below the value 101.3 mmHg for a normally-distributed set of blood pressures with a mean of 120.1 mmHg and a standard deviation of 15.1 mmHg? Express your answer as a percentage rounded off to 1 decimal place. For the value from the previous question you just answered, what percentage of the population would have a blood pressure higher than this value? Express your answer as a percentage rounded to 1 decimal place and show your calculations below.
