Suppose you have a large spool used for winding rope (just like a spool of thread), such as the one shown in Figure 12.83
Figure 12.83 A large spool.
Suppose that the spool is 1 m long and has an inner diameter of 20 cm and an outer diameter of 60 cm. Approximately how long a piece of 5-cm-thick rope can be wound onto this spool? (Assume that the rope is wound on neatly, in layers. Each layer will consist of a row of Winds," and each “wind" will be approximately a circle.) Explain your reasoning

- Find the regression equation, letting the first variable be the predictor (x) variable. Using the listed lemon/crash data, where lemon imports are in metric tons and the fatality rates are per 100,000 people, find the best predicted crash fatality rate for a year in which there are 475 metric tons of lemon imports. Is the prediction worthwhile? Use a significance level of 0.05.

Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the amount of smoking is independent of seat belt use. A plausible theory is that people who smoke are less concerned about their health and safety and are therefore less inclined to wear seat belts. Is this theory supported by the sample data?

Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. If 1 male college student is randomly selected, find the probability that he gains between 0 kg and 3 kg during freshman year. The probability is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. If 9 male college students are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean weight gain during freshman year is between 0 kg and 3 kg. The probability is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) c. Why can the normal distribution be used in part (b), even though the sample size does not exceed 30? OA. Since the distribution is of sample means, not individuals, the distribution is a normal distribution for any sample size. OB.
