Twelve cars were equipped with radial tires and driven over a test course. Then the same 12 cars (with the same drivers) were equipped with regular belted tires and driven over the same course. After each run, the cars' gas economy (in kilometer/liter) was measured. Data are shown below. Assume gas economy for both types of tires are normally distributed. Do the data provide enough evidence to show that radical tires produce higher gas economy? What's the difference between population means for gas economy?

Snow avalanches can be a real problem for travelers in the western United States and Canada. A very common type of avalanche is called the slab avalanche. These have been studied extensively by David McClung, a professor of civil engineering at the University of British Columbia. Suppose slab avalanches studied in a region of Canada had an average thickness of u = 67 cm. The ski patrol at Vail, Colorado, is studying slab avalanches in its region. A random sample of avalanches in spring gave the following thicknesses (in cm). 59 51 76 38 65 54 49 62 68 55 64 67 63 74 65 79 (i) Use a calculator with sample mean and standard deviation keys to find x and s.

A study was conducted to examine the difference between the average cholesterol levels in the blood of men and females. It can be assumed that cholesterol levels follow a normal distribution in both populations and that the distribution in the populations is similar (e. Assume that cholesterol levels follow a normal distribution in both populations with similar variances). An equal number of measurements were made on men and women. The results were entered into R and the R code and output can be seen below: t.test(kol$mael-kol$kyn,var.equal = T) %3D Two Sample t-test data: kol$mael by kol$kyn t = 5.7731, df = 18, p-value alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 0 95 percent confidence interval: 15.28775 32.78050 = 0.000018 sample estimates: mean in group Men mean in group women 219.2115 195.1774 1.

Solid fats are more likely to raise blood cholesterol levels than liquid fats. Suppose a nutritionist analyzed the percentage of saturated fat for a sample of 6 brands of stick margarine (solid fat) and for a sample of 6 brands of liquid margarine and obtained the following results: Stick:[25.5,26.7,26.5,26.6,26.3,26.4] Liquid:[16.5,17.1,17.5,17.3,17.2,16.7] We want to determine if there a significant difference in the average amount of saturated fat in solid and liquid fats.

The Airline Passenger Association studied the relationship between the number of passengers on a particular flight and the cost of the flight. It seems logical that more passengers on the flight will result in more weight and more luaggage, which in turn will result in higher fuel costs. For a sample of 13 flights, the correlation between the number of passengers and total fuel cost was .37. Is it reasonable to conclude that there is positive association in the population between the two variables?

Unfortunately, arsenic occurs naturally in some ground water. A mean arsenic level of u = 8 parts per billion (ppb) is considered safe for agricultural use. A well in Los Banos is used to water cotton crops. This well is tested on a regular basis for arsenic. A random sample of 37 tests gave a sample mean of = 7.3ppb arsenic. It is known that o = 1.9 ppb for this type of data. Does this information indicate that the mean level of arsenic in this well is less than 8 ppb? Use the classical approach. Use a = 0.01 What is the Decision (step 5) for this problem? There is not sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level of significance to show the mean arsenic level in the Los Banos well is less than 7.3 ppb. O There is sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level of significance to show the mean arsenic level in the Los Banos well is less than 8.0 ppb. There is not sufficient evidence at the 0.01 level of significance to show the mean arsenic level in the Los Banos well is less than 8.0 ppb. O There is…
