Lobster trap placement. Refer to the Bulletin of Marine Science (April 2010) observational study of lobster trap placement by teams fishing for the red spiny lobster in Baja California Sur, Mexico, Exercise 7.54 (p. 393). Trap-spacing measurements (in meters) for a sample of seven teams of red spiny lobster fishermen are repeated in the table. (These measurements are for the BT cooperative in the accompanying data file.) The researchers want to know whether α2, the variation in the population of trap-spacing measurements, is larger than 10m2. They will conduct a test of hypothesis using α = .05.

- a. Specify the null and alternative hypotheses for this test.
- b. Find the variance of the sample data, s2.
- c. Note that s2 > 10. Consequently, a fisherman wants to reject the null hypothesis. What are the problems with using such a decision rule?
- d. Compute the value of the test statistic.
- e. Use statistical software to find the p-value of the test.
- f. Give the appropriate conclusion.
- g. What conditions must be satisfied for the test results to be valid?

A study was conducted in the tidal flat at Polka Point, North Stradbroke Island to examine the distribution of the animals that live with the seagrass Sargassum at different distances from the shoreline. Samples of Sargassum were taken at 5, 10, 15 m from the shore and these were examined for amphipods and isopods. The observations are recorded below. Is the distribution of each of the organisms with regards to the shore the same at all three distances? Use the data below to test the hypothesis at the p < 0.05 level. Clearly state the hypotheses and interpret the results. (Note: Find chi-square for each individual column (amphipods and isopods, not the two together)

The authors of a paper classified characters who were depicted smoking in movies released between a certain range of
years. The smoking characters were classified according to sex and whether the character type was positive, negative, or
neutral. The resulting data are summarized in the accompanying table.
Assume that it is reasonable to consider this sample of smoking movie characters as representative of smoking movie
characters. Do the data provide evidence an association between sex and character type for movie characters who
smoke? Use α = 0.05.

Ambulance response time is measured as the time (in minutes) between the initial call to emergency medical services (EMS) and when the patient is reached by ambulance.

For a particular EMS station (call it Station A), ambulance response time is known to be normally distributed with u = 7.5 minutes and o = 2.5 minutes. a.
