Chapter 20, Problem 41E
Climate change 2016 Data collected from around the globe (including the sea ice data of Exercise 23) show that the earth is getting warmer. The generally accepted explanation relates climate change to an increase in atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) because CO2 is a greenhouse gas that traps the heat of the sun. A standard source of the mean annual CO2 concentration in the atmosphere (parts per million) is measurements taken at the top of Mauna Loa in Hawaii (away from any local contaminants) and available at ftp://aftp.cmdl.noaa.gov/ products/trends/co2/co2_annmean_mlo.txt.
Global temperature anomaly is the difference in mean global temperature relative to a base period of 1981 to 2010 in °C. It is available at www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cag/data-info/global.
Here are a
Response variable is: Temp
R squared = 89.7%
s = 0.0885 with 58 – 2 = 56 degrees of freedom
- a) Write the equation of the regression line.
- b) Is there evidence of an association between CO2 level and global temperature?
- c) Do you think predictions made by this regression will be very accurate? Explain.
- d) Does this regression prove that increasing CO2 levels are causing global warming? Discuss.

Cell Phone Radiation Listed below are the measured radiation absorption rates (in W/kg) corresponding to these cell phones: iPhone 5S, BlackBerry Z30, Sanyo Vero, Optimus V, Droid Razr, Nokia N97, Samsung Vibrant, Sony Z750a, Kyocera Kona, LG G2, and Virgin Mobile Supreme. The data are from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The media often report about the dangers of cell phone radiation as a cause of cancer. The FCC has a standard that a cell phone absorption rate must be 1.6 W/kg or less. If you are planning to purchase a cell phone, are any of the measures of center the most important statistic? Is there another statistic that is most relevant? If so, which one?

with coal dust.

distribution is normal, does the data suggest that the coal dust is effective in increasing the

- Researchers collected data to examine the relationship between pollutants and preterm births in Southern California. During the study air pollution levels were measured by air quality monitoring stations. Specifically, levels of carbon monoxide were recorded in parts per million, nitrogen dioxide and ozone in parts per hundred million, and coarse particulate matter PM10 in µg/m3. Length of gestation data were collected on 143,196 births between the years 1989 and 1993, and air pollution exposure during gestation was calculated for each birth. The analysis suggested that increased ambient PM10 and, to a lesser degree, CO concentrations may be associated with the occurrence of preterm births. a. The paragraph above describes an O A.

The following table gives the data.
