The manager of a fleet of automobiles is testing two brands of radial tires and assigns one tire of each brand at random to the two rear wheels of eight cars and runs the cars until the tires wear out. The data (in kilometers) follow. CAR BRAND1 BRAND2 DIFFERENCE = (BRAND1 - BF 1 36,925 33,018 3,907 2 45,300 43,280 2,020 3 36,240 35,500 740 4 32,100 31,200 900 5 37,210 37,015 195 6 48,360 46,800 1,560 7 38,200 37,810 390 8 33,500 33,215 285
Diabetes and obesity are serious health concerns in the United States and much of the developed world. Measuring the amount of body fat a person carries is one way to monitor weight control progress, but measuring it accurately involves either expensive X-ray equipment or a pool in which to dunk the subject. Instead body mass index (BMI) is often used as a proxy for body fat because it is easy to measure: BMI = mass(kg)/(height(m))² = 703 mass(lb)/(height(in))². In a study of 15 men at TXST, both BMI and body fat were measured. Researchers imported the data into statistical software for analysis. A few values are missing from the output. Complete the table by filling in the missing values. Model Summary S R-sq % (three decimal places) (two decimal places. e.g. 12.3456%, enter 12.35) Analysis of Variance Source Model Error Total DF SS MS F P 17.600 0.001 DF: whole numbers SS or MS; three decimal places 34.810 Does a simple linear regression model seem reasonable in this situation?…
The use of electromyostimulation (EMS) as a method to train healthy skeletal muscle is studied. EMS sessions consisted of 30 contractions (4-second duration, 85 Hz) and were carried out three times per week for three weeks on 17 ice hockey players. The 10-meter skating performance test showed a standard deviation of 0.90 seconds. Is there strong evidence to conclude that the standard deviation of performance time exceeds the historical value of 0.75 seconds? Use a = 0.05.
