A researcher wanted to determine if using an octane booster would increase gasoline mileage. A random sample of seven cars was selected; the cars were driven for two weeks without the booster and two weeks with the booster. Use the definitions of X, and X, as given in the table.

Empathy means being able to understand what others feel. To see how the brain expresses empathy, researchers recruited 16 couples in their midtwenties who were married or had been dating for at least two years. They zapped the man's hand with an electrode while the woman watched, and measured the activity in several parts of the woman's brain that would respond to her own pain. Brain activity was recorded as a fraction of the activity observed when the woman herself was zapped with the electrode. The women also completed a psychological test that measures empathy.

Q2 Fifteen adults of males between age of 35 and 50 participated in a study to evaluate the effect of diet and exercise on blood cholesterol level. The total cholesterol was measure in each subject initially and then three month after participating in aerobic exercise program and switching to low fight diet. The data are shown in the table below: Before 256 240 258 295 251 205 238 247 225 294 238 229 After 229 231 227 234 218 218 230 243 221 240 219 211 a. Do the data support the claim that low fat diet and aerobic exercises are of value in producing a mean reduction in blood cholesterol level at 5 % level of significance? (show all steps of hypothesis testing) b. Construct a one sided confidence interval that can be used to answer the question in part a. Check the results obtained in part a using R-Studio. Write your conclusion based on the p-value obtained in R studio. C.
Carl Catcher has a batting average of .370, meaning that he makes a hit 37% of the times he is up at bat. Pete Pitcher has a batting averager of only .110. Let x be the number of times Carol comes up to bat and let y be the number of times Pete comes to bat. a. If Carl bats 7 times and Pete bats 3 times, what should ther overall batting average be? b. If a total of 50 times at bat, how many times may Pete bat in order for their combined average to be as close as possible to .300? (define 3 variables, write system and solve)

Arsenic is toxic to humans and people can be exposed to it through contaminated drinking water, food, dust, and soil. Scientists have devised a non-invasive way to measure a person's level of arsenic poisoning: by examining toenail clippings. In a recent study, scientists measure the level of arsenic (in mg/kg) in toenail clippings of 8 people who lived near a former arsenic mine in Great Britain. The following levels are recorded. 0.8, 1.9, 2.7, 3.4, 3.9, 7.1, 11.9, 26.0 Below are the summary statistics of the data. min Q1 median Q3 max sd n mean 0.8 2.5 3.65 8.3 26 7.2125 8.368041 8 Suppose the 8 people examined were randomly sampled from residents near the former arsenic mine. Is it legitimate to construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean level of arsenic (in mg/kg) in toenail clippings for residents near the former arsenic mine using a t-distribution? Explain briefly.
In a study of exhaust emissions from school buses, the pollution intake by passengers was determined for a sample of nine school buses used in the Southern California Air Basin. The pollution intake is the amount of exhaust emissions, in grams per person, that would be inhaled while traveling on the bus during its usual 18-mile trip on congested freeways from South Central LA to a magnet school in West LA. Here are the amounts for the nine buses when driven with the windows open. 1.17 0.33 0.40 0.33 1.32 0.38 0.25 0.40 0.35 (a) Consider making a stemplot. Are there outliers or strong skewness that would preclude use of the t procedures? Which is correct? A. The sample is small and the stemplot is right skewed with possible outliers, so use of t procedures is not appropriate. b. The distribution is symmetric so use of t procedures is appropriate. c. The sample is small and the stemplot is left skewed with possible outliers, so use of t procedures is…
