In 20 hospitals in London, UK, patients admitted with lung cancer in the previous year were queried about their smoking behavior. For each patient admitted, researchers studied the smoking behavior of a noncancer control patient at the same hospital of the same sex and within the same 5-year grouping on age. A smoker was defined as a person who had smoked at least one cigarette a day for at least a year. Table 2.12.

- Here is the data and scenario for the above questions: An ornithologist is studying the role of color in flower selection for a particular species of hummingbird. He places 3 lilac bushes with similar size, flower yield, and scent profile near a known hummingbird habitat--one with white flowers, one with pink flowers, and one with purple flowers. He then uses surveillance cameras to count hummingbird visits to each of the 3 bushes for 30 days. The daily visit count data for each lilac color bush is summarized below: White Pink Purple Mean: 17.2 17.8 18.5 S.Dev: 1.9 1.4 2.6 (Hint for calculations: What is n here, and why? What are the actual data sets corresponding to each mean?) What does the ornithologist conclude? Do you have a recommendation for further study?arrow_forwardGrey-Seal Nursing. The average lactation (nursing) period of all earless seals is 23 days. Grey seals are one of several types of earless seals. The length of time that a female grey seal nurses her pup is studied by S. Twiss et al. in the article “Variation in Female Grey Seal (Halichoerus grypus) Reproductive Performance Corre- lates to Proactive-Reactive Behavioural Types” (PLOS ONE 7(11): e49598. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0049598). A sample of 14 female grey seals had the following lactation periods, in days. At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean lactation period of grey seals differs from 23 days? Assume that the population standard deviation is 3.0 days. (Note: The sum of the data is 274.9 days.)arrow_forwardThe Journal of Engineering in Industry (Aug. 1993) reported on an automated system designed to replace the cutting tool of a drilling machine at optimum times. To test the system, data were collected over a broad range of materials, drill sizes, drill speeds, and feed rates – called machining conditions. Although a total of 168 different machining conditions were possible, only eight were employed in this study. These are described below: Experiment Workpiece Drill Size (in.) 25 25 Drill Speed (грт) 1250 1800 Feed Rate Material (ipr) .011 .005 1 Cast Iron Cast Iron Steel Steel 25 25 3750 2500 .003 .003 .008 4 Steel 25 .125 .125 2500 Steel Steel 4000 4000 3000 .0065 .009 .010 Steel .125 a.
