The quantity of dissolved oxygen is a measure of water pollution in lakes, rivers, and streams. Water samples were taken at four different locations in a river in an effort to determine if water pollution varied from location to location. Location I was 500 meters above an industrial plant water discharge point and near the shore. Location II was 200 meters above the discharge point and in midstream. Location III was 50 meters downstream from the discharge point and near the shore. Location IV was 200 meters downstream from the discharge point and in midstream. The following table shows the results. Lower dissolved oxygen readings mean more pollution. Because of the difficulty in getting midstream samples, ecology students collecting the data had fewer of these samples. Use a 5% level of significance. Do we reject or not reject the claim that the quantity of dissolved oxygen does not vary from one location to another?

- Cholesterol Cholesterol in human blood is necessary, but too much can lead to health problems. There are three main types of cholesterol: HDL (high-density lipoproteins), LDL (low-density lipoproteins), and VLDL (very low-density lipoproteins). HDL is considered “good” cholesterol; LDL and VLDL are considered “bad” cholesterol. A standard fasting cholesterol blood test measures total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. These numbers are used to estimate LDL and VLDL, which are difficult to measure directly. Your doctor recommends that your combined LDL/VLDL cholesterol level be less than 130 milligrams per deciliter, your HDL cholesterol level be at least 60 milligrams per deciliter, and your total cholesterol level be no more than 200 milligrams per deciliter. (a) Write a system of linear inequalities for the recommended cholesterol levels. Let x represent the HDL cholesterol level, and let y represent the combined LDL VLDL cholesterol level. (b) Graph the system of inequalities from part (a). Label any vertices of the solution region. (c) Is the following set of cholesterol levels within the recommendations? Explain. LDL/VLDL: 120 milligrams per deciliter HDL: 90 milligrams per deciliter Total: 210 milligrams per deciliter (d) Give an example of cholesterol levels in which the LDL/VLDL cholesterol level is too high but the HDL cholesterol level is acceptable. (e) Another recommendation is that the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol be less than 4 (that is, less than 4 to 1). Identify a point in the solution region from part (b) that meets this recommendation, and explain why it meets the recommendation.arrow_forwardThe quantity of dissolved oxygen is a measure of water pollution in lakes, rivers, and streams.

The concentration of mercury in fish tissue can be obtained by catching fish and sending samples to a lab for analysis. A study was conducted on fish from the Waccamaw and Lumber Rivers to investigate mercury levels in tissues of largemouth bass. At several stations along each river a group of fish were caught, weighed and measured; in addition a filet from each fish was sent to a lab so that the tissue concentration of mercury could be determined. In all, 171 fish were caught at 15 different research stations along the Waccamaw and Lumber Rivers.

- Susan Sound predicts that students will learn most effectively with a constant background sound, as opposed to an unpredictable sound or no sound at all. She randomly divides twenty-four students into three groups of eight. All students study a passage of text for 30 minutes. Those in group 1 study with background sound at a constant volume in the background. Those in group 2 study with noise that changes volume periodically. Those in group 3 study with no sound at all. After studying, all students take a 10 point multiple choice test over the material.

The body extracts good things such as proteins and vitamins and throws away waste. A typical waste product is a uric acid. High levels of uric acid can be an indication of conditions such as gout, kidney disease, and cancer. For females a high level of uric acid is 6 mg/dL or more and for males a high level of uric acid is 7 mg/dL or more. Suppose, over a period of months, an adult female has taken 8 blood test for uric acid.

To conduct an advertising campaign for the product, you need to make a claim about the number of automobile thefts per year. Since the population of various cities in the United States varies, you decide to use rates per 10,000 people. (The rates are based on the number of people living in the cities.) Your boss said that last year the theft rate per 10,000 people was 44 vehicles. You want to see if it has changed. The following are rates per 10,000 people for 36 randomly selected locations in the United States. Assume σ = 30.3.

- Peanut butter is produced from raw peanuts. During manufacturing first, the peanut shell, soil, and sand are removed using a sheller. The removed shell, sand and soil correspond to 2/5 of the raw material by weight entering to sheller. Then the deshelled peanuts, containing 5.6% water, 26% protein, 47.5% fat, 18.6% carbohydrate, and 2.3% ash, are roasted. After roasting the water content decreases to 1.8% due to the evaporation during roasting. The roasted peanuts are then subjected to skin removal operation in a blancher where the skins removed constitute about 1/40 of the roasted peanuts. Finally, clean roasted peanuts are finely ground in a grinder with addition of 1 kg hydrogenated fat and 2 kg honey per 100 kg of roasted deskinned peanuts. The product from the grinder is filled into 250 g jars by using a canning machine. Draw the process and calculate the quantities of all the streams per 100 kg of the roasted product entering blancher.arrow_forwardScientists did a study to see whether a new fuel additive had any effect on gas mileage (mpg).
