The braking distance required for a car to stop depends on numerous variables such as the speed of the car, the weight of the car, reaction time of the driver, and the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road. For a certain vehicle on one stretch of highway, the braking distances d(s) (in ft) are given for several different speeds s (in mph). 30 35 40 45 50 d(s) 109 134 162 191 223 55 60 65 70 75 256 291 328 368 409 (s)P a. Use regression to find a quadratic function to model the data. b. Use the model from part (a) to predict the stopping distance for the car if it is traveling 62 mph before the brakes are applied. Round to the nearest foot. c. Suppose that the car is traveling 53 mph before the brakes are applied. If a deer is standing in the road at a distance of 245 ft from the point where the brakes are applied, will the car hit the deer?

Four paints are being tested for weight loss in an abrasion machine. These paints differ in the proportion of one basic ingredient. The abrasion machine can handle three paint panels at one time. Yield is measured in terms of weight loss in a fixed period of time and at a fixed speed of the machine. Four runs are made. Consider run as block. The data are stated in coded units.

Wolf packs tend to be large extended family groups that have a well-defined hunting territory. Wolves not in the pack are driven out of the territory or killed. In ecologically similar regions, is the size of an extended wolf pack related to size of hunting region? Using radio collars on wolves, the size of the hunting region can be estimated for a given pack of wolves. Let x represent the number of wolves in an extended pack and y represent the size of the hunting region in km2/1000. The following data are representative of one of the national parks. x wolves 29 37 22 61 94 y km2/1000 7.35 12.18 8.15 15.39 16.81 (a) Verify that Σx = 243, Σy = 59.88, Σx2 = 15,251, Σy2 = 788.2256, Σxy = 3362.04, and r ≈ 0.9135.

You Got Gas have developed a new type of fuel additive that supposedly increases car speed. Before they put it out on the market, however, they need to test if it really is a difference compared to standard fuel. So, they took 6 vehicles and calculated the time it takes to for them to drive 1 mile going as fast as they can. They received the following data: Car ID# Course time (standard fuel in minutes) Course time (w/ additive in minutes) 1 35 27 2 40 35 3 25 27 4 40 39 5 95 94 6 32 18 6. What is the null and research hypothesis for this study? 7. What type of statistical test should we use to compare means (z-test, independent t-test, dependent t-test, or ANOVA)? Why? 8. What are the degrees of freedom? What are the critical values for that statistical test with this data at α = 0.05? α = 0.01? 9.
