Chapter 8, Problem 30P

Measurements of the concentration, C, of a substance during a chemical reaction at different times t are shown in the table.

    t(h) 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 5.0 5.5 6.0
    C(g/L) 1.7 3.1 5.7 9.1 6.4 3.7 2.8 1.6 0.8 0.7 0.6

(a) Suppose that the data can be modeled with an equation in the form:

C ( t ) = 1 a 2 t 2 + a 2 t + a 0

Determine the coefficients a0, a1, and a, such that the equation best fits the data. Use the equation to estimate the concentration at t =2 h.

Make a plot of the data points and the equation.

(b) Suppose that the data can be modeled with an equation in the form:

C ( t ) = 1 a 3 t 3 + a 2 t 2 + a 1 t + a 0

Determine the coefficients a0, a1, a2, and a3such that the equation best fits the data. Use the equation to estimate the concentration at t=2 h. Make a plot of the data points and the equation.

A researcher wishes to estimate, with 90% confidence, the population proportion of adults who support labeling legislation for genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Her estimate must be accurate within 4% of the true proportion. (a) No preliminary estimate is available. Find the minimum sample size needed. (b) Find the minimum sample size needed, using a prior study that found that 65% of the respondents said they support labeling legislation for GMOs. (c) Compare the results from parts (a) and (b). ... (a) What is the minimum sample size needed assuming that no prior information is available? n = (Round up to the nearest whole number as needed.)
The table available below shows the costs per mile (in cents) for a sample of automobiles. At a = 0.05, can you conclude that at least one mean cost per mile is different from the others? Click on the icon to view the data table. Let Hss, HMS, HLS, Hsuv and Hмy represent the mean costs per mile for small sedans, medium sedans, large sedans, SUV 4WDs, and minivans respectively. What are the hypotheses for this test? OA. Ho: Not all the means are equal. Ha Hss HMS HLS HSUV HMV B. Ho Hss HMS HLS HSUV = μMV Ha: Hss *HMS *HLS*HSUV * HMV C. Ho Hss HMS HLS HSUV =μMV = = H: Not all the means are equal. D. Ho Hss HMS HLS HSUV HMV Ha Hss HMS HLS =HSUV = HMV
