A student purchased a large bag of 12-inch balloons. He randomly selected 10 balloons from the bag and then randomly assigned half of them to be filled with air until bursting and the other half to be filled with water until bursting. He used devices to measure the amount of air and water was dispensed until the balloons burst. Here's the data: Air (ft') Water (ft) 0.52 0.44 0.58 0.41 0.50 0.55 0.46 0.61 0.38 0.45 Does the data give convincing evidence air filled balloons can attain a greater volume than water filled balloons?arrow_forwardPlease see the pictures below.

- ANSWER C AND D ONLYarrow_forwardradon is a colorless, odorless gas that is naturally released by rocks and soils and may concentrate in tightly closed houses. because radon is slightly radioactive, there is some concern that it may be a health hazard. radon detectors are sold to homeowners worried about this risk, but the detectors may be inaccurate. university researchers placed 12 detectors in a chamber where they were exposed to 105 picocuries per liter (pci/l) of radon over 3 years. here are the readings given by the detectors:91.9 97.8 111.4 112.3 105.4 85.0 103.8 89.6 96.6 109.3 104.8 91.7 Assume (unrealistically) that you know that the standard deviation of readings for all detectors of this type is σ = 9. a. Give the 95% confidence interval for the mean reading μ for this type of detector. b. Is there significant evidence at the 5% level that the mean reading differs from the true value 105?

- 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…arrow_forwardThe National Institute of Standard and Technology provided exact data on conductivity properties of materials.
