### Study on the Mortality of Rice Weevils due to Nitrogen Gas ExposureA group of toxicologists investigated the impact of low oxygen exposure on the mortality of rice weevils. #### Experimental Details:- **First Experiment**: - Sample Size: 31,421 rice weevils - Found Dead: 31,386 rice weevils - Exposure: Nitrogen gas for 4 days- **Second Experiment**: - Sample Size: 23,676 rice weevils - Found Dead: 23,516 rice weevils - Exposure: Nitrogen gas for 3.5 days#### Objective:Conduct a hypothesis test to compare the mortality rates of adult rice weevils exposed to nitrogen at the two different exposure times. Determine if there's a significant difference (at α = 0.10) in the mortality rates.#### Formulate Hypotheses:Let \( p_1 \) represent the proportion of rice weevils found dead in the first experiment and \( p_2 \) represent the proportion of rice weevils found dead in the second experiment.The null and alternative hypotheses to test are:**Option B:**- Null Hypothesis (\( H_0 \)): \( (p_1 - p_2) = 0 \)- Alternative Hypothesis (\( H_a \)): \( (p_1 - p_2) \neq 0 \)#### Analysis:Find the test statistic based on the provided proportions and sample sizes.- The test statistic \( z \) is calculated as follows: \[ z = \boxed{11.62} \] (Round to two decimal places as needed.)This result helps in evaluating whether there's a significant difference in mortality rates of the rice weevils due to different exposure times to nitrogen gas.

Cloud seeding, a process in which chemicals such as silver iodide and frozen carbon dioxide are introduced by aircraft into clouds to promote rainfall was widely used in the 20-th century. Recent research has questioned its effectiveness [Journal of Atmospheric Research (2010, Vol. 97 (2), pp. 513-525)]. An experiment was performed by randomly assigning 52 clouds to be seeded or not. The amount of rain generated was then measured in acre-feet. Here are the data for the unseeded and seeded clouds: Unseeded: 81.2 26.1 95.0 41.1 28.6 21.7 11.5 68.5 345.5 321.2 1202.6 1.0 4.9 163.0 372.4 244.3 47.3 87.0 26.3 24.4 830.1 4.9 36.6 147.8 17.3 29.0 Seeded: 274.7 302.8 242.5 255.0 17.5 115.3 31.4 703.4 334.1 430.0 1697.8 118.3 198.6 129.6 274.7 119.0 1656.0 7.7 40.6 92.4 200.7 32.7 4.1 978.0 489.1 2745.6 Construct a frequence distribution for the combined cloud-seeding rain measurements.

. Differences of electric potential occur naturally from point to point on a body’s skin. Researchers used newts to determine if changing the electric field reduces the mean healing rate for all newts. The researchers found in a sample of 14 newts the following data results: ?̅= −5.714 with sd = 10.564. Conduct a paired t-test at α = .01 to determine if there is sufficient evidence to conclude that changing the electric field reduces the mean healing rate for all newts.
ab Tardigrades, or water bears, are a type of micro-animal famous for their resilience. In examining the effects of radiation on organisms, an expert claimed that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades no longer has a mean of 1250 Gy (grays). (For comparison, humans cannot withstand more than 10 Gy.) A random sample of 26 tardigrade colonies found that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony had a sample mean of 1239 Gy, with a sample standard deviation of 45 Gy. Assume that the population of amounts of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades is approximately normally distributed. Complete the parts below to perform a hypothesis test to see if there is enough evidence, at the 0.10 level of significance, to support that μ, the mean amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades, is not equal to 1250 Gy.

Polyunsaturated fatty acids in the diet favorably affect several risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The principal dietary polyunsaturated fat is linoleic acid. Suppose we randomly selected twelve adults for our study. We took their blood pressure measurements (systolic blood pressure) at the start and recorded them for each adult. Then we placed required these adults to consume 23g/day of safflower oil which is high in linoleic acid for four weeks. At the end of the four weeks, we took another systolic blood pressure(SBP) measurement. The paired data is provided below: Subject 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Baseline SBP 119.67 100.00 123.56 109.89 96.22 133.33 115.78 126.39 122.78 117.44 111.33 92.39 1-month SBP 117.33 98.78 123.83 107.67 95.67 128.89 113.22 121.56 126.33 110.39 107.00 93.06 Use the appropriate nonparametric test at alpha level of 0.05, to test whether the diet heavy in linoleic acid increases systolic blood pressure (SBP).

Researchers have shown that cigarette smoking has a deleterious effect on lung function. In their study of the effect of cigarette smoking on the carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DL) of the lung, Ronald Knudson, W. Kaltenborn and B. Burrows found that current smokers had DL readings significantly lower than either ex-smokers or nonsmokers. The carbon monoxide diffusing capacity for a random sample of current smokers was as follows: 103.768 88.602 73.003 123.086 91.052 92.295 61.675 90.677 84.023 76.014 100.615 88.017 71.210 82.115 89.222 102.754 108.579 73.154 106.755 90.479 Do these data indicate that the mean DL reading for current smokers is lower than 100, the average DL reading for nonsmokers?

A study of road rage asked random samples of 596 men and 523 women about their behavior while driving. Based on their answers, each person was assigned a road rage score on a scale of 0 to 20.
