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.

A new weight-reducing technique, consisting of a liquid protein diet, is currently undergoing tests by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before its introduction into the market. The weights of a random sample of five people are recorded before they are introduced to the liquid protein diet. The five individuals are then instructed to follow the liquid protein diet for 3. weeks. At the end of this period, their weights (in pounds) are again recorded. The results are listed in the table. Person Weight Before Diet Weight After Diet 1 165 160 2 210 207 3 203 202 4 216 208 220 217 5 (1) Is there a significant difference between the means of the weights before and after the diet?

A college student is interested in whether presoaking time has an effect on cleanliness of clothing. He collects the dirty clothes from all of the people in his dorm and randomly assigns clothing to one of four presoak time conditions: 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes. He then asks members of another dorm to rate the cleanliness of the items (they don’t know which clothing got which soaking time). The data are presented below.

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.

Suppose that a researcher is studying the wingspans of wild condors. To study this the researcher randomly selects 7 condors that live near the California Coast and 7 condors that live near the Grand Canyon for a total of 14 condors. The researcher measures the wingspan of each of these birds in inches and gets the following data. (Note: You may assume that there are about 400 condors in the wild) 94, 100, 102, 110, 115, 118, 119, 122, 123, 126, 128, 135, 136, 140 (All values in inches) (a) What sampling technique was used to collect this data? (b) Use this data to construct a 99% confidence interval for the average wingspan for California condors. Make sure to confirm all necessary conditions and interpret your interval. (Hint: This should be a 1-sample mean confidence interval) (c) Could you conclude that 99% of California condors will have wingspans inside the interval you found in (b)? Why or why not?
