Growth spurt: It is generally known that boys grow at an unusually fast rate between the ages of about 12 and 14. Following are heights, in inches of 10 boys, measured at age 12 and again at age 14. Can you conclude that the mean increase in height is less than 5.6 inches? Let µ₁ represent the mean height at age 14 and μ = μ₁ −μ₂. Use the a= 0.05 level and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator.

The temperature reading from a thermocouple placed in a constant-temperature medium is normally distributed with mean u, the actual temperature of the medium, and standard deviation o. n USE SALT What would the value of o have to be to ensure that 95% of all readings are within 0.8° of µ? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) You may need to use the appropriate table in the Appendix of Tables to answer this question.

For each problem, select the best response. (a) The scores of adults on an IQ test is approximately Normal with mean 100 and standard deviation 15. Corinne scores 118 on such test. Her z-score is about O A. 0.67 OB. 1.2 O C. 7.87 OD. 18 O E. None of the above. (b) A researcher wishes to determine whether the rate of water flow (in liters per second) over an experimental soil bed can be used to predict the amount of soil washed away (in kilograms). In this study, the explanatory variable is the O A. size of the soil bed. O B. rate of water flow. OC. amount of eroded soil. O D. depth of the soil bed. O E. None of the above. (c) Smokers don't live as long (on the average) as nonsmokers, and heavy smokers don't live as long as light smokers. You regress the age at death of a group of male smokers on the number of packs per day they smoked. The slope of your regression line A. will be greater than zero. OB. will be less than zero. OC. must be between 1 and 1. D. can't tell without seeing…

Suppose the average life of kiwi phones is 4.66 years with standard deviation 1.05 years. Let X represent the average lif of 40 r/s kiwi phones. Find P( x > 5)
