Two types of feed have been developed for a freshwater fish raised in fish farms. 40 of the fish fed with the first feed and 50 of the fish fed with the second feed were randomly selected and average weight gains were found to be 175 gr and 130 gr, respectively. Which of the following is the point estimate of the difference in average weight gain of fish fed two feeds?

In the table below is a column of masses for various individuals. 20 Kg (kllograms), for instance, is a typical mass for a young child while 80 kg Is characteristic of an adult's mass, If you were to travel to the Moon, your weight would change but your mass would remain the same. Roughly speaking, mass is a measure of the amount of "stuff" you're made of (matter). In the United States we commonly measure weight using the English pound. Another common unit for measuring weight is the Newton. The second column in the table shows the corresponding weight, in Newtons, for each individual. These are the weights on Earth. Plot each pair of numbers as an ordered pair on the graph. Use the vertical ("y") axis for the weights and the horizontal ("x") axis for mass. Label your axes. Draw a best fit line through the points and measure the slope of this line. On your plot, mark and circle the points you use to determine the slope. The slope gives you the "weight per unit mass" here on Earth. In…

Joan's Nursery specializes in custom-designed landscaping for residential areas. The estimated labor cost associated with a particular landscaping proposal is based on the number of plantings of trees, shrubs, and so on to be used for the project. For cost estimating purposes, managers use two hours of labor time for the planting of a medium- sized tree. Actual times from a sample of 10 plantings during the past month follow (times in hours).

In a test comparing vinyl and latex laboratory gloves, it was found that 68% of the vinyl gloves leaked (allowing viruses to pass through) but only 6% of the latex gloves leaked. Using the first percentage as the reference value, express the change in two ways, (1) as an absolute difference in terms of percentage points and (2) as a relative difference in terms of a percentage.
The toco toucan, the largest member of the toucan family, possesses the largest beak relative to body size of all birds. This exaggerated feature has received various interpretations, such as being a refined adaptation for feeding. However, the large surface area may also be an important mechanism for radiating heat (and hence cooling the bird) as outdoor temperature increases. Presented is the data for beak heat loss, as a percent of total body heat loss from all sources, at various temperatures in degrees Celsius.

Several surveys in the United States and Europe have asked people to rate their happiness on a scale of 3 = "very happy," 2 = "fairly happy," and 1 = "not too happy," and then tried to correlate the answer with the person's income. For those in one income group (making $25,000 to $55,000) it was found that their "happiness" was approximately given by y = 0.065x - 0.613, where x is in thousands of dollars. Find the reported "happiness" of a person with the following incomes (rounding your answers to one decimal place). (a) $30,000 (b) $50,000 (c) $55,000
The chlorine added to swimming pools to combat relatively short shelf before it loses its effectiveness. Records indicate that the mean shelf life of a 5 gallon jug of chlorine is 2,160 hours (90 days). As an experiment, Holdlonger was added to the chlorine to whether it would increase the shelf life of the chlorine. A sample of nine jugs of chlorine had these shelve lives (in hours): 2,159, 2, 170, 2,180, 2,179, 2,160, 2,167, 2,171, 2,181 and 2,185. At the .025 significance level, has Holdlonger increased the shelf life of the chlorine? S=9.3823, sample mean=2172.44 STATE THE NULL AND ALTERNATE HYPOTHESIS. Determine the critical value for the decision rule.
A regression was run to determine if there is a relationship between hours of TV watched per day (xx) and number of situps a person can do (yy).The results of the regression were:y=ax+b a=-0.629 b=39.045 r2=0.806404 r=-0.898 Use this to predict the number of situps a person who watches 6.5 hour(s) of TV can do, and please round your answer to a whole number.
