Arsenic in smelters. The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) allows issuance of engineering standards to ensure safe workplaces for all Americans. The maximum allowable mean level of arsenic in smelters, herbicide production facilities, and other places where arsenic is used is .004 milligram per cubic meter of air. Suppose smelters at two plants are being investigated to determine whether they are meeting OSHA standards. Two analyses of the air are made at each plant, and the results (in milligrams per cubic meter of air) are shown in the table. A claim is made that the OSHA standard is violated at Plant 2 but not at Plant 1. Do you agree?
Plant 1 | Plant | ||
Observation | Arsenic Level | Observation | Arsenic Level |
1 | .01 | 1 | .05 |
2 | .005 | 2 | .09 |

- Spacers are manufactured to the mean dimension and tolerance shown in Figure 29-12. An inspector measures 10 spacers and records the following thicknesses: 0.372" 0.376" 0.379" 0.375" 0.370" 0.373" 0.377" 0.378" 0.371" 0.380" Which spacers are defective (above the maximum limit or below the minimum limit)? All dimensions are in inches.arrow_forwardMORTALITY RATE Table 3.5 provides the number of deaths from all causes and from accidents (unintentional injuries) by age group in the United States in 2002. Review the following rates. Determine what to call each one, then calculate it using the data provided in Table. 1. Unintentional-injury-specific mortality rate for the entire population. Calculate cause-specific mortality rate. 2. All-cause mortality rate for 25-34 years old. Calculate the age-specific mortality rate. 3. All-cause mortality among males. Calculate the sex-specific mortality rate. 4. Unintentional-injury specific mortality among 25 to 34 years old males. Calculate the is a cause-specific, age-specific, and sex-specific mortality rate Table 3.5 All-Cause and Unintentional Injury Mortality and Estimated Population by Age Group, For Both Sexes and For Males Alone- United States, 2002 All Races, Both Sexes All Races, Males Age group (years) All Causes Unintentional Estimated All Unintentional Estimated Injuries Pop.

- The data found below measure the amounts of greenhouse gas emissions from three types of vehicles. The measurements are in tons per year, expressed as CO2 equivalents. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the different types of vehicle have the same mean amount of greenhouse gas emissions. Based on the results, does the type of vehicle appear to affect the amount of greenhouse gas emissions?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is not statistically variable? Please choose one: a.
