A random sample of 100 recorded deaths in the United Arab Emirates during the past year showed an average life span of 71.8 years, with a standard deviation of 8.9 years. Does this seem to indicate that the average life span today is greater than 70 years? Use a 0.05 level of significance with critical region of z > 1.645, state your conclusion if you will accept or reject your null hypothesis. Ho: µ = 70 years H1: µ = 70 years

Researchers are interested in estimating the prevalence of illegal drug use among teenagers aged 13-17. A recent national survey has estimated the population prevalence for illegal drug use in this demographic is 40%. The research team has pooled together 55 teenagers in this age range and determined that 10 use illegal drugs. Can we assume a normal approximation is possible in this instance?

Spray drift is a constant concern for pesticide applicators and agricultural producers. The inverse relationship between droplet size and drift potential is well known. The paper "Effects of 2,4-D Formulation and Quinclorac on Spray Droplet Size and Deposition"+ investigated the effects of herbicide formulation on spray atomization.
