In a study of morphological variation in natural populations of fruit fly, it was reported that the mean wing length of 16 females, collected in a certain area, was 4.653 mm with s = 0.012 mm; and the mean wing length of 11 females, collected in a second area, was 4.274 mm with s = 0.02. Let the distribution of the wing length be normal, find a 98% confidence interval on the ratio of the two populations’ standard deviations.
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) pollution is a known cause for corrosion of exposed steel. To document this effect in actual conditions, steel weight loss (gm/m3/yr) was measured at 36 locations in a large city, along with the rate at which SO2 was deposited (mg/m2/day). Obtain an estimate of the correlation between steel loss and sulfur dioxide deposition rate and interpret it. Give a 95% confidence interval for its value.

A biology student measured the ear lengths of an SRS of 10 Mountain cottontail rabbits, and an SRS of 10 Holland lop rabbits. The ear lengths for the two samples are listed in the two tables attached (see attached image). (a) Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean ear lengths between Mountain cottontail rabbits and Holland lop rabbits. Make sure to define which is “µ1” and which is “µ2.” (You can complete the calculations either by hand or using R, but remember to show all your work.) (b) Do Holland lop rabbits have longer ears on average than Mountain cottontail rabbits? Carry out a test of significance to answer this question. Show your work at each step. Don’t forget to state the hypotheses at the start (making sure to define all parameters), and to include a conclusion in terms of the original problem. (You can complete the calculations either by hand or using R, but remember to show all your work.)

A new cream that advertises that it can reduce wrinkles and improve skin was subject to a recent study. A sample of 68 women over the age of 50 used the new cream for 6 months. Of those 68 women, 39 of them reported skin improvement(as judged by a dermatologist). Is this evidence that the cream will improve the skin of more than 40% of women over the age of 50? Test using a= 0.05 (a) Test statistic: z= (b) The final conclusion is...A. There is not sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis that p=0.4 . That is, there is not sufficient evidence to reject that the cream can improve the skin of more than 40% of women over 50.B. We can reject the null hypothesis that p=0.4 and accept that p>0.4. That is, the cream can improve the skin of more than 40% of women over 50.
Arsenic is a compound that occurs naturally in very low concentrations. Arsenic blood concentrations in healthy individuals are Normally distributed with a mean of 3.2 mg/dl. Some areas of the United States have naturally elevated arsenic levels in the ground and water supplies.
