The cetane number is a critical property in specifying the ignition quality of a fuel used in a diesel engine. Determination of this number for a biodiesel fuel is expensive and time- consuming. The article “Relating the Cetane Number of Biodiesel Fuels to Their Fatty Acid Composition: A Critical Study" (J. of Automobile Engr., 2009: 565–583) included the following data on x = iodine value (g) and y = cetane number for a sample of 15 biofuels The iodine value (x) is the amount of iodine necessary to saturate a sample of 100 g of oil. The article's authors fit the simple linear regression model to this data, so let s does the same. 132.0 129.0 120.0 113.2 105.0 92.0 84.0 88.4 59.0 80.0 81.0 81.5 71.0 69.2 63.0 y 46.0 48.0 51.0 52.1 54.0 52.0 59.0 58.7 61.6 64.0 61.4 54.6 58.8 58.0 51.4 3) Estimate the correlation coefficient (Pearson coefficient), r, between x and y and explain briefly the strength of r and its direction and comment the p-value. 4) Construct a 95% two-sided confidence interval for the regression line.

The authors of a paper classified characters who were depicted smoking in movies released between a certain range of years. The smoking characters were classified according to sex and whether the character type was positive, negative, or neutral. The resulting data are summarized in the accompanying table. Assume that it is reasonable to consider this sample of smoking movie characters as representative of smoking movie characters. Do the data provide evidence an association between sex and character type for movie characters who smoke? Use α = 0.05.

Please use the accompanying Excel data set or accompanying Text file data set when completing the following exercise. An article in Urban Ecosystems, "Urbanization and Warming of Phoenix (Arizona, USA): Impacts, Feedbacks and Mitigation" (2002, Vol. 6, pp. 183–203), mentions that Phoenix is ideal to study the effects of an urban heat island because it has grown from a population of 300,000 to approximately 3 million over the last 50 years and this is a period with a continuous, detailed climate record. The 50-year averages of the mean annual temperatures at eight sites in Phoenix are shown below. Check the assumption of normality in the population with a probability plot. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the standard deviation over the sites of the mean annual temperatures.

Carbon dioxide is known to have a critical effect on microbiological growth. Small amounts of CO2 stimulate growth of some organisms, whereas high concentrations inhibit the growth of most. The latter effect is used commercially when perishable food products are stored. A study is conducted to investigate the effect of CO2 on the growth rate of pseudomonas fragi, a food-spoiling organism. Carbon dioxide is administered at five predetermined different atmospheric pressures. The response measured was the percentage change in cell mass after 1-hour growing time. Ten cultures were used at each atmospheric pressure level, resulting in the following data: 0.0 .083 .29 .50 .86 62.6 50.9 45.5 29.5 24.9 59.6 44.3 41.1 22.8 17.2 64.5 47.5 29.8 19.2 7.8 59.3 49.5 38.3 20.6 10.5 58.6 48.5 40.2 29.2 17.8 64.6 50.4 38.5 24.1 22.1 50.9 35.2 30.2 22.6 22.6 56.2 49.9 27.0 32.7 16.8 52.3…
Ocean currents are important in studies of climate change, as well as ecology studies of dispersal of plankton. Drift bottles are used to study ocean currents in the Pacific near Hawaii, the Solomon Islands, New Guinea, and other islands. Let x represent the number of days to recovery of a drift bottle after release and y represent the distance from point of release to point of recovery in km/100. The following data are representative of one study using drift bottles to study ocean currents. Σx = 476, Σy = 87.1, Σx2 = 62,290, Σy2 = 2046.87, Σxy = 11121.3,and r ≈ 0.94367. x days 72 76 32 91 205y km/100 14.7 19.6 5.3 11.7 35.8 a) Use a 1% level of significance to test the claim ? > 0.(Use 2 decimal places.)t =critical t= b) Find the predicted distance (km/100) when a drift bottle has been floating for 60 days.

The vulnerability of inshore environments to contamination due to urban and industrial expansion in Mombasa is discussed in the paper €œMetals, Petroleum Hydrocarbons and Organo-chlorines in Inshore Sediments and Waters on Mombasa, Kenya€ [Marine Pollution Bulletin (1997) 34: 570€“ 577]. A geochemical and oceanographic survey of the inshore waters of Mombasa, Kenya, was undertaken during the period from September 1995 to January 1996. In the survey, suspended particulate matter and sediment were collected from 48 stations within Mombasa€™s estuarine creeks. The concentrations of major oxides and 13 trace elements were determined for a varying number of cores at each of the stations. In particular, the lead concentrations in suspended particulate matter (mg kg-1 dry weight) were determined at 37 stations. The researchers were interested in determining whether the average lead concentration was greater than 30 mg kg-1 dry weight. The data are given in the following table along with…

The authors of a paper compared two different methods for measuring body fat percentage. One method uses ultrasound, and the other method uses X-ray technology. The table gives body fat percentages for 16 athletes using each of these methods (a subset of the data given in a graph that appeared in the paper). For purposes of this exercise, you can assume that the 16 athletes who participated in this study are representative of the population of athletes.
