The Pribilof Islands in Alaska supports about half of the global population of Northern fur seals. St. Paul Island, the largest of the Pribilof Islands, has 12 fur seal rookeries (breeding places). In 1961, to estimate the fur seal pup population in the Gorbotch rookery, 4963 fur seal pups were tagged in early August. In la August, a sample of 900 pups was observed and 218 c these were found to have been previously tagged. Estimate the total number of fur seal pups in this rookery.

An article reported that in a particular year, there were 717 bicyclists killed on public roadways in a particular country, and that the average age of the cyclists killed was 43 years. These figures were based on an analysis of the records of all traffic-related deaths of bicyclists on public roadways of that country. (a) Does the group of 717 bicycle fatalities represent a census or a sample of the bicycle fatalities for that year? O a census O a sample (b) If the population of interest is bicycle traffic fatalities for this particular year, is the given average age of 43 years a number that describes a sample or a number that describes the population? O a number that describes a sample O a number that describes the population
A state fisheries commission wants to estimate the number of bass caught in a given lake during a season in order to restock the lake with the appropriate number of young fish. The commission could get a fairly accurate assessment of the seasonal catch by extensive “netting sweeps" of the lake before and after a season, but this technique is much too expensive to be done routinely. Therefore, the commission samples a number of lakes and record the seasonal catch (thousands of bass per square mile of lake area) and size of lake (square miles). A simple linear regression was performed and the following R output obtained. Estimate Std.

1. A lawn mower company will produce 1,500 lawn mowers by 2020. In an effort to determine how much maintenance free consumers will take when they already buy lawn mowers, the company decided to conduct a study over the past 1 year of these mowers. . First, a random sample was taken by contacting 200 grass mowers. The company owner provides an 800 number and is asked to contact the company when the first repair is needed for the lawn mower. Owners who no longer use lawn mowers to cut their grass are either disqualified or not sampled. After 1 year, it turned out that 187 owners had reported for the first repair. However, the other 50 disqualified themselves. The average number per year until the first improvement was 5.3 times for samples deemed feasible. It is believed that the standard deviation is 1.28 per year. If the company wants to advertise the lawnmower and with a confidence level of 95%, what is the estimated annual mean value of repair-free lawn mower for this lawn mower?…

An experiment was conducted to compare the effectiveness of four training programs, namely, A, B, C, and D in training assemblers of a piece of electronic equipment. Twenty employees were randomly selected and assigned to each program, that is, five employees per program. After completion of the training courses, each person was required to assemble four pieces of equipment, and the length of time (in secs) to complete the assembly was recorded. The summary of the data gathered is recorded in the table. At α=0.10, test for the hypothesis that the assembly times for people trained are the same for the four programs.
