The Kyoto Protocol was signed in 1997, and required countries to start reducing their carbon emissions. The protocol became enforceable in February 2005. In 2004, the mean CO2 emission was 4.87 metric tons per capita. Table 7.3.3 contains a random sample of CO2 emissions in 2010 ("CO2 emissions," 2013). Is there enough evidence to show that the mean CO2 emission is lower in 2010 than in 2004? Test at the 1% level.

- 1) A series of experiments were conducted to determine the effect of air voids on percentage retained strength of asphalt. For purposes of the experiment, air voids are controlled at three levels; low (1-3%), medium (4-6%), and high (7-9%). The data are shown in Table 1. Do the different levels of air voids significantly affect mean retained strength? Use a = 0.05.

- Joan's Nursery specializes in custom-designed landscaping for residential areas. The estimated labor cost associated with a particular landscaping proposal is based on the number of plantings of trees, shrubs, and so on to be used for the project.
