Shark scientists are interested in whether the magnitude of hammer-head shark migration is related to the temperature of the local coastal area. They divided the coast into 8 parts based on topography, and then they measured each part's temperature level during the shark migration and the number of sharks that migrated. Which type of statistical test should they use to analyze their data?

Weatherwise is a magazine published by the American Meteorological Society. One issue gives a rating system used to classify Nor'easter storms that frequently hit New England and can cause much damage near the ocean. A severe storm has an average peak wave height of ? = 16.4 feet for waves hitting the shore. Suppose that a Nor'easter is in progress at the severe storm class rating. Peak wave heights are usually measured from land (using binoculars) off fixed cement piers. Suppose that a reading of 35 waves showed an average wave height of x = 17.3 feet. Previous studies of severe storms indicate that ? = 3.5 feet. Does this information suggest that the storm is (perhaps temporarily) increasing above the severe rating? Use ? = 0.01. (a) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses. H0: ? = 16.4 ft; H1: ? ≠ 16.4 ft H0: ? > 16.4 ft; H1: ? = 16.4 ft H0: ? < 16.4 ft; H1: ? = 16.4 ft H0: ? = 16.4 ft; H1: ? > 16.4 ft H0: ? = 16.4 ft; H1: ? <…

Solve the problem using the critical region method of testing (i.e., traditional method). State the null and alternative hypotheses (in feet). (Enter != for ≠ as needed.) Calculate the appropriate test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal…

A doctor is studying the effects that the amount of junk food has on blood pressure. As each patient enters his office, he/she fills out a survey about junk food. The doctor then takes the blood pressure of each patient. Is this an experimental or observational study? Explain your reasoning.

Because colas tend to replace healthier beverages and colas contain caffeine and phosphoric acid, researchers wanted to know whether cola consumption is associated with lower bone mineral density in women. The accompanying data lists the typical number of cans of cola consumed in a week and the femoral neck bone mineral density for a sample of 15 women. Complete parts (a) through (f) below.

The quantity of dissolved oxygen is a measure of water pollution in lakes, rivers, and streams. Water samples were taken at four different locations in a river in an effort to determine if water pollution varied from location to location. Location I was 500 meters above an industrial plant water discharge point and near the shore. Location II was 200 meters above the discharge point and in midstream. Location III was 50 meters downstream from the discharge point and near the shore. Location IV was 200 meters downstream from the discharge point and in midstream. The following table shows the results. Lower dissolved oxygen readings mean more pollution. Because of the difficulty in getting midstream samples, ecology students collecting the data had fewer of these samples. Use a 5% level of significance. Do we reject or not reject the claim that the quantity of dissolved oxygen does not vary from one location to another? Location I Location II Location III Location IV 7.6 6.3 4.6…
