Climate change 2013 Data collected from around the globe show that the earth is getting warmer.

Pulmonary Disease Forced expiratory volume (FEV) is an index of pulmonary function that measures the volume of air expelled after 1 second of constant effort. FEV is influenced by age, sex, and cigarette smoking. Assume that in 45- to 54-year-old nonsmoking men FEV is normally distributed with mean = 4.1 L and standard deviation = 0.5 L. = 0.6 L. (Assume that FEV can be measured exactly and no continuity correction is In comparably aged currently smoking men FEV is normally distributed, with mean = 3.9 L and standard deviation necessary. Round your answers to four decimal places.) USE SALT (a) If an FEV of less than 2.5 L is regarded as showing some functional impairment (occasional breathlessness, inability to climb stairs, etc.), then what is the probability that a currently smoking man has functional impairment?

Suppose that you wish to estimate the difference between mean pH measurements of rainfalls in two different locations, one in relatively unpolluted area and the other in an area subject to heavy air pollution. You want to be 95% confident that the margin of error for the difference between mean pH of rainfalls in relatively unpolluted area and mean pH of rainfalls in an area subject to heavy air pollution will not exceed 0.1 pH. How many rainfalls (pH measurements) must be included in each sample? Assume that the variance of pH measurements in a relatively unpolluted area is equal to 2 = 20, and the variance of pH measurements in an area subject to heavy pollution is equal to 2 = 0.25, and samples will be of equal size (n = n₂ = n). 2 It is supposed that values of pH in rainfalls are normally distributed in polluted and unpolluted areas. The number of rainfalls (pH measurements) that must be included in each sample is
