The Etruscans. Anthropologists are still trying to unravel the mystery of the origins of the Etruscan empire, a highly advanced Italic civilization formed around the eighth century B.C. in central Italy. Were they native to the Italian peninsula or, as many aspects of their civilization suggest, did they migrate from the East by land or sea? The maximum head breadth, in millimeters, of 70 modern Italian male skulls and 84 preserved Etruscan male skulls was analyzed to help researchers decide whether the Etruscans were native to Italy. The resulting data can be found on the WeissStats site. [SOURCE: N. Barnicot and D. Brothwell, “The Evaluation of Metrical Data in the Comparison of Ancient and Modern Bones.” In Medical Biology and Etruscan Origins, G. Wolstenholme and C. O’Connor, eds., Little, Brown&Co., 1959] a. Obtain normal probability plots, boxplots, and the standard deviations for the two samples. b. Based on your results from part (a), which would you be inclined to use to…
3) An inventor has developed a new spray coating that is designed to improve the wear of bicycle tires. To test the new coating, the inventor randomly selects one of the two tires on each of 50 bicycles to be coated with the new spray. The bicycle is then driven for 100 miles and the amount of the depth of the tread left on the two bicycle tires is measured (in millimeters). It is desired to determine whether the new spray coating improves the wear of the bicycle tires. The data and summary information is shown below: Bicycle | Coated Tire (C) | Non-Coated Tire (N) 0.785 1.452 1.634 0.844 50 1.211 0.954 Coated Non-Coated Difference Мean 1.38 0.85 0.53 Std. Dev. 0.12 0.11 0.06 Sample Size 50 50 50 Use the summary data to calculate the test statistic to determine if the new spray coating improves the mean wear of the bicycle tires. A) z = 62.46 В) — 34.25 C) z = 55.26 D) z = 23.02
A dietitian wishes to see if a person’s cholesterol level will change if the diet is supplemented by a certain mineral. Five randomly selected subjects were pre-tested, and then they took the mineral supplement for a 6-week period. The Cholesterol level before and after taking the mineral supplements is shown in the table below. (Cholesterol level is measured in milligrams per deciliter). Table is attached Questions: If X1 is a normal variate with mean 2 and standard deviation 4 and X2 is a normal variate with mean 3 and standard deviation 9, then find E[X1 - 2X2] and Var(X1 - 2X2) The confidence level can be viewed as the amount of risk that an analyst will accept when making a decision (State True or False) You find a 90% confidence interval for true average thiamin content in oats for a given sample as (2.4,7.8) and you interpret the confidence interval as: I can be highly confident that 90% of the oats in the sample will have thiamin content between 2.4 and 7.8 (State True or…
