Question
Gestation For women, pregnancy lasts about 9 months.
In other species of animals, the length of time from
conception to birth varies. Is there any evidence that
the gestation period is related to the animal’s lifespan?

a) For these data, r = 0.54, not a very strong relation-

ship. Do you think the association would be
stronger or weaker if humans were removed?
Explain.
b) Is there reasonable justification for removing humans
from the data set? Explain.
c) Here are the scatterplot andregression analysis for the
17 nonhuman species. Comment on the strength of the
association.d) Interpret the slope of the line.
e) Some species of monkeys have a life expectancy of
about 20 years. Estimate the expected gestation period
of one of these monkeys.
Explain.

- Tall Dutch Men: Part A Use a z-table such as https://www.math.arizona.edu/~rsims/ma464/standardnormaltable.pdf or an online calculator such as http://onlinestatbook.com/2/calculators/normal_dist.html to answer the following question: Dutch men are famously perceived as being tall. In a 2014 survey it was found that the mean adult male height in the Netherlands was 182.5 cm with a standard deviation of 7.4 cm and that the heights followed a normal distribution. What proportion of the population of adult males in the Netherlands would be between the heights of 178.8 cm and 186.2 cm? Express your answer as a percentage rounded off to 1 decimal place.

Fetal heart rate is measured by ultrasound in beats per minute. The study includes 20 women who are as- signed to one position and have the fetal heart rate measured in that position. Each woman is between 28 weeks and 32 weeks gestation. The data are shown in Table 7–7. Is there a significant difference in mean fetal heart rates by position? Run the test at a 5% level of significance. back side sitting standing 140 141 144 147 144 143 145 145 146 145 147 148 141 144 148 149 139 136 144 145arrow_forwardA group of 320 male students from the local high school have a mean mass of 70.41 kg.

Thank you!arrow_forwarddata from the office for national Statistics show that the mean age at which men in greatbritain get married is 30.8 years (the Guardian, february 15, 2013). a news reporternoted that this represents a continuation of the trend of waiting until a later age to wed.a new sample of 47 recently wed british men provided their age at the time of marriage.these data are contained in the datafile britainMarriages. do these data indicate that themean age of british men at the time of marriage exceeds the mean age in 2013? test thishypothesis at a = .05. what is your conclusion?.arrow_forwardAccording to a 2006 survey conducted by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), birth rates peak slightly between July and October each year. While a slight numerical increase in birth rates is often observed, this difference is assumed to be statistically non-significant. Thus, we would expect to see an equal number of people born during each month of the year in the United States. The "Birth Data.jasp" contains the birth months for 1380 babies (N = 1380) born during the year 2006 in the United States collected by the CDC. Conduct a Chi-Square Goodness of Fit Test at α = 0.05, to see if the number of babies born each month “fits” with the CDC’s assumptions about the population. Identify the correct null hypothesis. A. H0: The number of babies born throughout the year is equal across all 12 months B. H0: The number of babies born during the summer months is greater than the number of babies born during the rest of the year C. HA: The number of babies born in…arrow_forward
- Please answer the following: You can use the graphing calculator-just explain how to input into calculator. A tire manufacturer beleives that the tread life of its snow tires can be described by a normal model with a mean of 32,000 miles and standard deviation of 2,500 miles. a) If you buy a set of these tires, would it be reasonable for you to hope that they last 40,000 miles? Explain. b) What proportion of these tires can be expected to last less than 30,000 miles? c) What proportion of these tires can be expected to last between 30,000 and 35,000 miles? d) Estimate the IQR of the tread lives. e) In planning a marketing strategy, a local tire dealer wants to offer a refund to any customer whose tires fail to last a certain number of miles. However, the dealer does not want to take too big a risk. If the dealer is willing to give refunds to no more than 1 of every 25 customers, for what mileage can he be guaranteed these tires to last?arrow_forwardAccording to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) sponsored by the U.S. government, a random sample of 712 males between 20 and 29 years of age and a random sample of 1,001 males over the age of 75 were chosen and the weight of each of the males were recorded (in kg). Do the data provide evidence that the younger male population weighs more (on average) than the older male population? Use “Y” for ages 20-29 and “S” for ages 75+. It was found that x̅Y=83.4, sY=18.7, x̅S=78.5, and sS=19.0. a)Suppose the test statistic is t = 2.398. What is the associated p-value?
