Textbook Question
Chapter 5.7, Problem 1E
The article “Simulation of the Hot Carbonate Process for Removal of CO2 and H2S from Medium Btu Gas” (K. Park and T. Edgar, Energy Progress, 1984:174–180) presents an equation used to estimate the equilibrium vapor pressure of CO2 in a potassium carbonate solution. The actual equilibrium pressure (in kPa) was measured in nine different reactions and compared with the value estimated from the equation. The results are presented in the following table:
Find a 95% confidence interval for the

Examine the Variables: Carefully review and note the names of all variables in the dataset. Examples of these variables include:
Mileage (mpg)
Number of Cylinders (cyl)
Displacement (disp)
Horsepower (hp)
Research: Google to understand these variables.
Statistical Analysis: Select mpg variable, and perform the following statistical tests. Once you are done with these tests using mpg variable, repeat the same with hp
Mean
Median
First Quartile (Q1)
Second Quartile (Q2)
Third Quartile (Q3)
Fourth Quartile (Q4)
10th Percentile
70th Percentile
Skewness
Kurtosis
Document Your Results:
In RStudio: Before running each statistical test, provide a heading in the format shown at the bottom. “# Mean of mileage – Your name’s command”
In Microsoft Word: Once you've completed all tests, take a screenshot of your results in RStudio and paste it into a Microsoft Word document. Make sure that snapshots are very clear. You will need multiple snapshots. Also transfer these results to the…
