Suppose an oceanographer monitors the daily salinity of a particular ocean in relation to the temperature of the water. The oceanographer plots the data with temperature, in degrees Celsius (°C), along the horizontal axis and salinity, in parts per thousand (ppt), along the vertical axis.
Select the true statement about the data point identified by the arrow.
An ocean temperature of 21 °C causes the salinity to be 29 ppt.
The predicted salinity is 29 ppt when the ocean temperature for the day is 21 °C.
An ocean temperature of 29 °C corresponds to a salinity level of 21 ppt.
The observed salinity is 29 ppt when the ocean temperature for the day is 21 °C.
There is no relationship between the temperature of the ocean on a given day and salinity.
A photoconductor film is manufactured at a nominal thickness of 25 mils. The product engineer wishes to increase the mean speed of the film, and believes that this can be achieved by reducing the thickness of the film to 20 mils. Eight
samples of each film thickness are manufactured in a pilot production process, and the film speed (in microjoules per square inch) is measured. For the 25-mil film, the sample data result is = 1.15 and 81 = 0.11, while for the 20-mil film,
the data yield 2 = 1.06 and 82 = 0.09. Note that an increase in film speed vould lower the value of the observation in microjoules per square inch.
(a) Do the data support the claim that reducing the film thickness increases the mean speed of the film? Use a = 0.10 and assume that the two population variances are equal and the underlying population of film speed is normally
distributed. What is the P-value for this test? Round your answer to three decimal places (e.g. 98.765).

- One operation of a mill is to cut pieces of steel into parts that will later be used as the frame for front seats in an automobile. The steel is cut with a diamond saw and requires the resulting parts to be within 10.005 inch of the length specified by the automobile company. Data are collected from a sample of 50 steel parts and are shown in the following table. The measurement reported is the difference in inches between the actual length of the steel part, as measured by a laser measurement device, and the specified length of the steel part. For example, the first value, -0.003, represents a steel part that is 0.003 inch shorter than the specified length. Complete parts a through c Click the icon to view the data table. a.
