- An investigation of the relationship between traffic flow (measured in cars per day) and lead content (measured in micrograms per gram of dry weight) in the bark of trees near the highway yielded the following summary statistics: Sample Mean Sample Standard Deviation Lead Content (micrograms per gram dry weight) y¯=y¯= 680 sysy = 240 Traffic Flow (cars / day) x¯=x¯= 1750 sxsx = 800 The correlation between lead content and traffic flow was found to be r = 0.6 and a scatterplot showed the form to be linear. The least squares regression line for using X to predict Y was found to be y^=365+0.18xy^=365+0.18x. For trees in a given area, if the traffic flow is 14,000 cars per week, predict the lead content in their bark. Note: the traffic flow given in this question is NOT in the same units as the values used to calculate the line. Given value of x = 14,000 cars per week equals how many cars per day Predicted Value of y is how many micrograms per gram of dry weightarrow_forwardTardigrades, or water bears, are a type of micro-animal famous for their resilience. In examining the effects of radiation on organisms, an expert claimed that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades no longer has a mean of 1150 Gy (grays). (For comparison, humans cannot withstand more than 10 Gy.) A random sample of 25 tardigrade colonies found that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony had a sample mean of 1133 Gy, with a sample standard deviation of 02 Gy. Assume that the population of amounts of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades is appraximately normally distributed. Complete the parts below to perform a hypothesis test to see if there is enough evidence, at the 0.05 level af significance, to support that H, the mean amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades, is not equal to 1150 Cy.

Based on this information, what is the regression slope for the SLR equation for predicting blood pressure using observed weight for Jellystone bears?arrow_forward
- Lake Quanipaug in Connecticut is famous for its yellow perch. Studies have found that the national mean length is µ = 8.2 inches. However, a random sample of 31 fish caught during Memorial weekend at Lake Quanipaug, had a sample mean of x̄=7.1 inches, with an estimated sample standard deviation of s = 3.8 inches. Do these current data indicate that the average length of the yellow caught at Lake Quanipaug is less than historical µ = 8.2 inches? Use α = .02. State α, Ho, H1, p-value, rejection, or non-rejection, and be certain to interpret your results.arrow_forwardBased on the scatter plot above, describe the relationship between the amount of cost damage and the distance from nearest fire station to the residential. Determine the regression line for the above regression output. Interpret the slope coefficient of distance to the nearest station affecting the amount of fire cost damage. Compute the correlation coefficient and interpret its meaning. Does the distance to the nearest fire station has significant influence on the cost damage amount? Conduct a test at 1% significance level. ] Predict the fire cost damage generated if the distance from nearest fire station is 2.5 kilometers. Is this estimate reliable? Explain.

- In a study by WebCriteria, it took an average of 2.1 minutes to locate information and buy products on the Delta Airlines website, compared to an average of 2.7 minutes on the British Airways site. Assuming normal populations with equal standard deviations, data from sheet 3 contains the times (in minutes) required during visits to the two websites. In a suitable one-tail test at the 0.01 level, was the mean time for the Delta visits significantly less than that for the British Airway visits?
