You work as a data scientist for a real estate company in a seaside resort town. Your boss has asked you to discover if it's possible to predict how much a
home's distance from the water affects its selling price. You are going to collect a random sample of 7 recently sold homes in your town. You will note the
distance each home is from the water (denoted by x, in km) and each home's selling price (denoted by y, in hundreds of thousands of dollars). You will also note
the product x.y of the distance from the water and selling price for each home. (These products are written in the row labeled "xy").

Is there a difference in the amount of airborne bacteria between carpeted and uncarpeted rooms? In an experiment, 7 rooms were carpeted and 7 were left uncarpeted. The rooms are similar in size and function. After a suitable period of time, the concentration of bacteria in the air was measured (in units of bacteria per cubic foot) in all of these rooms. Assume the populations are normally distributed. The following is a summary of the data: Carpeted rooms: Uncarpeted rooms: X 184 175 S 22.0 16.9 19. A 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean bacterial concentration in the air of carpeted rooms versus uncarpeted rooms is (use 11 degrees of freedom). O -7.47 to 31.47. O -18.89 to 42.89.

A study from the year 2000 showed 132 cases of myopia in 400 randomly selected people. A separate study from 2018 showed 228 cases in 600 randomly selected people. Is there enough evidence to support the researcher's suspicion that the proportion of myopia cases in 2018 is higher than the proportion of myopia cases in 2000? Use alpha = 0.05. Let P1 represent the proportion of myopia cases in 2018 and let p2 be the proportion of myopia cases in 2000. 1) State Ho and Ha 2) Calculate the value of the test statistic, z (round to 2 decimal places) 3) Calculate the p-value (round to 4 decimal places) 4) Decide to reject or fail to reject Ho 5) Write your conclusion in the context of the claim.

- Suppose that 95% of the bags of certain fertilizer mix weigh between 49 and 53 pounds. Averages of three succesive bags were plotted, and 47.5% of these were observed to lie between 51 and X pounds. Estimate the value of X.

The researcher tested 40 highlighters and recorded the number of continuous hours each highlighter wrote before drying up. Test the hypothesis that the highlighters wrote for more than 14 continuous hours. Following are the summary statistics: x = 14.5 hours, s = 1,2 hoursarrow_forward10 – 11. Margaret, an archeologist, is conducting a test to determine if there is a positive linear relationship between the total height of a dinosaur and its leg length.
