The article "Extravisual Damage Detection? Defining the Standard normal Tree" (Photogrammetric Engrg. Remote Sensing, 1981: 515-522) discusses the use of color infrared photography in identification of normal trees in Douglas fir stands. Among data reported were summary statistics for green-filter analytic optimal densitometric measurement on samples of both healthy and diseased trees. For a sample of 69 healty trees, the sample mean dye-layer density was 1.028, and the sample standard deviation was .163. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the true average dye-layer density for all such trees.

the size of the left upper chamber or the heart is one measure or cardiovascular health. the paper “ left atrial size increases with body mass index in children “ international journal of cardiology [ 2009 ] : 1-7) described a study in which the left atrial size was measured for a large number of children of age 5 to 15 years. based on this data the authors concluded that for healthy children, left atrial diameter was approximately normally distributed with a mean of 26.4 mm and a standard deviation of 4.2 mm. round all answers to four decimal places a. what is the probability that a randomly selected healthy child will have a left atrial diameter less than 24mm? round to 4 decimal places b. what is the probability that a randomly selected healthy child will have a left atrial donated greater than 32 mm? round to 4 decimal places c. what is the probability that a randomly selected healthy child will have a left atrial diameter between 25 and 30mm? round to 4 decimal places.
10.32 The break angle in a torsion test of wire used in wrapping concrete pipe is specified to be 40 degrees. Fifty torsion tests of wire wrapping a certain malfunctioning pipe resulted in a mean break angle of 37 degrees and a standard devi- ation of 6 degrees. Can we say that the wire used on the malfunctioning pipe does not meet the specification at the 5% significance level?
Managers of an outdoor coffee stand in Coast City are examing the relationship between (hot) coffee sales and daily temperature, hoping to be able to predict a day's total coffee sales from the maximum temperature that day. The bivariate data values for the coffee sales (denoted by y, in dollars) and the maximum temperature (denoted by x, in degrees Fahrenheit) for each of fifteen randomly selected days during the past year are given below. These data are plotted in the scatter plot in Figure 1. Also given are the products of the temperature values and coffee sales values for each of the fifteen days. (These products, written in the column labelled "xy," may aid in calculations.)
A solar power engineer took a random sample of houses and installed the same type of solar panels using two different methods on each house to investigate whether there is a mean difference in the angles of installation between the two methods for all houses in the population of interest. The engineer found the sample mean difference between the two methods to be 0.2 degree and the p-value for a two-sided matched-pairs t-test for the mean difference to be 0.65. Assuming the conditions for inference are met, which of the following statements is the best interpretation of the p -value? (A) The probability that the null hypothesis is true is 0.65. (B) If the null hypothesis is true, the probability is 0.65 of observing a mean difference of 0.2 degree or -0.2 (C) (D) (E) degree. If the null hypothesis is true, the probability is 0.65 of observing a mean difference of greater than 0.2 degree or less than -0.2 degree. If the null hypothesis is true, the probability is 0.65 of observing a…
On the basis of data provided by a Romac Salary survey, the variance in annual salaries for seniors in public accounting firms is approximately 2.1 and the variance in annual salaries for managers in public accounting firms is approximately 11.1. The salary data were provided in thousands of dollars. Assuming that the salary data were based on samples of 25 seniors and 26 managers, test the hypothesis that the population variances in the salaries are equal.
