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

How sensitive to changes in water temperature are coral reefs? To find out, scientists examined data on sea surface temperatures, in degrees Celsius, and mean coral growth, in centimeters per year, over a several‑year period at locations in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. The table shows the data for the Gulf of Mexico.

The research examined 4 different banana varieties and 3 different fertilizers.The following values were calculated from the data:SSr = 3.4 SSc =1.3 SSe =1.2The research first set out to find out if there is a difference in the average thickness of the banana peel between the fertilizers used. The used fertilizers are presented in the material with columns.Calculate the p-value of the test. Give the answer to two decimal places. Remember the correct decimal separator.arrow_forwardWeatherwise is a magazine published in association with the American Meteorological Society. In the January issue there is a rating system to classify Nor’easter storms that frequently hit New England states and can cause much damage near the ocean coasts. A severe storm has an average peak wave height of 16.4 feet for waves hitting the shore. Suppose that a Nor’easter is in progress at the severe storm class rating. Peak wave heights are usually measured from land (using binoculars) off fixed cement piers. Suppose that a sample of 36 peak waves showed an average wave height of 15.1 feet with a sample standard deviation of 3.2 feet. Using a level of significance of 1%, does this information indicate that the storm is retreating? (note; if storm is retreating what is happening to the height of the waves?)arrow_forwardA large manufacturing company producing air conditioner compressor believes the number of units of air conditioner sold is related to atmospheric temperature.
