Borden et al. (A-24) performed experiments on cadaveric knees to test the effectiveness of several meniscal repair techniques. Specimens were loaded into a servohydraulic device and tension-loaded to failure. The biomechanical testing was performed by using a slow loading rate to simulate the stresses that the medial meniscus might be subjected to during early rehabilitation exercises and activities of daily living. One of the measures is the amount of displacement that occurs. Of the 12 specimens receiving the vertical mattress suture and the FasT-FIX method, the displacement values measured in millimeters are 16.9, 20.2, 20.1, 15.7, 13.9, 14.9, 18.0, 18.5, 9.2, 18.8, 22.8, 17.5. Construct a 90 percent confidence interval for the variance of the displacement in millimeters for a population of subjects receiving these repair techniques.

Water is poured into a large, cone-shaped cistern. The volume of water, measured in cm, is reported at Which of the following would linearize the data for volume and time? different time intervals, measured in seconds. The scatterplot of volume versus time showed a curved Seconds, cm3 O In(Seconds), cm3 Seconds, In(cm') pattern. O In(Seconds), In(cm³)

Wild irises are beautiful flowers found throughout the United States, Canada, and northern Europe. This problem concerns the length of the sepal (leaf-like part covering the flower) of different species of wild iris. Data are based on information taken from an article by R. A. Fisher in Annals of Eugenics (Vol. 7, part 2, pp. 179 -188). Measurements of sepal length in centimeters from random samples of Iris setosa (I), Iris versicolor (II), and Iris virginica (III) are as follows below. I II III 5.9 5.8 6.9 4.8 6.5 5.6 4.6 6.4 4.9 5.7 4.3 7.7 4.8 5.8 5.6 5.4 6.3 6.3 5.8 5.5     6.6   Shall we reject or not reject the claim that there are no differences among the population means of sepal length for the different species of iris? Use a 5% level of significance.   (b) Find SSTOT, SSBET, and SSW and check that SSTOT = SSBET + SSW. (Use 3 decimal places.) SSTOT =   SSBET =   SSW =   Find d.f.BET, d.f.W, MSBET, and MSW. (Use 4 decimal places for MSBET, and…

Instructions:Perform the following exercise in minitab. (in pictures)

If the slope of a regression line (b1) is 1.5, then a) for every unit of change in x, there is a change of 1.5 units in y b) for every unit of change in y, there is a change of 1.5 in x. c) the score of each case is 1.5 times higher on yt han on x d)y causes X

(a) Examine the data. Is it reasonable to use the t procedures? (b) If your conclusion in part (a) is Yes, do the data give convincing evidence that the helium-filled football travels farther than the air-filled football?
