Pineal Gland Study. Dr. Marquez hypothesized that fluoride had a deleterious effect
on the pineal gland, which helps with sleeping. He measured the amount of fluoride in
Americans and compared it to the fluoride level in Europeans, where its use in drinking
water has been banned. He knew from reading the literature that the average fluoride
level in Europeans was 40 parts per million (ppm). He collected a
representative sample of 625 Americans and found that their fluoride level was 60 ppm
with a standard deviation of 250 ppm. What is the value of the z-test statistic?
Air pollutants common in U.S. cities include fine particulate matter (PM) and ozone (O3). PM is measured as “inhalable” particles 10 micrometers in diameter or “fine inhalable” particles 2.5 micrometers in diameter. Suppose that studies show, for a particular region, that cities exceed PM2.5 standards 20% of the time and exceed ozone standards 10% of the time. Assume that PM2.5 and ozone measurements are statistically independent.
A) Determine the probability that a city, selected at random, exceeds one of the standards.
B) If a city exceeds the standards, what is the probability that it exceeds only the PM2.5 standard?

- PCBs and Pelicans. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), industrial pollutants, are known to be carcinogens and a great danger to natural ecosystems. As a result of several studies, PCB production was banned in the United States in 1979 and by the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants in 2001. One study, published in 1972 by R. Risebrough, is titled “Effects of Environmental Pollutants Upon Animals Other Than Man” (Proceedings of the 6th Berkeley Symposium on Mathematics and Statistics, VI, University of California Press, pp. 443–463). In that study, 60 Anacapa pelican eggs were collected and measured for their shell thickness, in millimeters (mm), and concentration of PCBs, in parts per million (ppm).

This was the largest category of such waste. The next highest group was nondurable goods, which accounted for 25.4 % of waste. This was followed by durable goods at 10.9%, yard trimmings/other at 13.4%, and food scraps at 15.7%.

As more states have approved fracking, an increasing number of U.S. adults have expressed concerns about its safety. A 2016 Gallup survey asked U.S. adults, “Do you favor or oppose hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, as a means of increasing the production of natural gas and oil in the U.S.?” The survey results are shown below. Support 36% Oppose 51% No Opinion 13% Which of the following scenarios would be the best use of a chi-square goodness-of-fit test? a. Researchers want to determine the proportions of all U.S. adults who support, oppose, or have no opinion about the increase of fracking in the U.S.b.

Because many industrial wastes contain nutrients that enhance crop growth, efforts are being made for environmental purposes to use such wastes on agricultural soils. Researchers studied the physico-chemical properties of effluent from Mohan Meakin Breweries Ltd. (MMBL), Ghazibad, UP, India, and “... its effects on the physico-chemical characteristics of agricultural soil, seed germination pattern and the growth of two common crop plants.” They assessed the impact of using different concentrations of the effluent: 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. The following data, based on the results of the study, provide the percentages of limestone in the soil obtained by using 100% effluent: 2.41 2.31 2.54 2.28 2.72 2.60 2.51 2.51 2.42 2.70 Do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude, at the 15% level of significance, that the mean available limestone in soil treated with 100% MMBL effluent exceeds 2.3%?

This condition results in lack of sleep and extreme fatigue during waking hours. A current estimate is that 10 million out of the 312.7 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea, or approximately 3.2%. A safety commission is concerned about the percentage of commercial truck drivers who suffer from sleep apnea.

To test the claim that the percentage of commercial truck drivers who suffer from sleep apnea is not 3.2%, a simple random sample of 409 commercial truck drivers is examined by a medical expert, who concludes that 21 suffer from sleep apnea.

- Truck pollution: In an experiment to determine the effect of ambient temperature on the emissons of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) of diesel trucks, 10trucks were run at temperatures of 40°F and 80°F.

Long-term exposure to beryllium can cause people to become sensitized. Once an individual is sensitized, continued exposure can result in chronic beryllium disease, which involves scarring of the lungs. In a study of the effects of exposure to beryllium, workers were categorized by their duration of exposure (in years) and by their disease status (diseased, sensitized, or normal). The results were as follows: Duration of Exposure <1 1 to <5 ≥5 Diseased 14 13 18 Sensitized 11 20 15 Normal 78 140 209 Test the hypothesis of independence. Use the a=0.10 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator. What do you conclude? State the null and alternate hypotheses.arrow_forwardSleep apnea is a condition in which the sufferers stop breathing momentarily while they are asleep. This condition results in lack of sleep and extreme fatigue during waking hours. A current estimate is that 15 million out of the 312.7 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea, or approximately 4.8%. A safety commission is concerned about the percentage of commercial truck drivers who suffer from sleep apnea. They do not have any reason to believe that it would be higher or lower than the population’s percentage. To test the claim that the percentage of commercial truck drivers who suffer from sleep apnea is not 4.8%, a simple random sample of 339 commercial truck drivers is examined by a medical expert, who concludes that 7 suffer from sleep apnea. Does this evidence support the claim that the percentage of commercial truck drivers who suffer from sleep apnea is not 4.8%? Use a 0.05 level of significance.
