The Derbyshire village of Eyam, England, suffered an outbreak of bubonic plague in 1665–1666. The source of that plague was believed to be the Great Plague of London. The village is best known for being the "plague village" that chose to iso- late itself when the plague was discovered there in August 1665 rather than let the infection spread. Detailed records were preserved. The initial population of Eyam was 350. In mid-May 1666, nine months after the beginning of the epidemic, there were 254 susceptibles and 7 infectives. The data about the epidemic in the remain- ing months are given in Table 2.2. The infective period of the bubonic plague is 11 days. (a) Estimate a (b) Use the implicit solution of the SIR model to estimate B.
According to a report from the United States Environmental Protection Agency, burning one gallon of gasoline typically emits about 8.9 kg of CO2. A fuel company wants to test a new type of gasoline designed to have lower CO2 emissions. Their hypotheses are Ho : µ = 8.9 kg and H, : µ < 8.9 kg. where u is the mean amount of CO, emitted by burning one gallon of this new gasoline. Suppose that Ho is actually true. Which situation below would have the lowest probability of a Type I error? Choose 1 answer: n = 20 and a = 0.01 n = 50 and a = 0.05 n = 75 and a = 0.10
1. As heat is added to a material its temperature rises. The heat capacity is a quantitative statement of the increase in temperature for a specified addition of heat. These data are obtalned in X, the measured heat capacity of liquid ethylene glycolat constant pressure and 80° C. Measurements are in calories pergram degree Celsius: .645 .654 .640 .627 .626 .649 .629 .631 .643 .633 .646 .630 .634 .631 .651 .659 .638 .645 .655 .624 .658 .658 .658 .647 .665 Assume that X is normally distributed. Find a 95% confidence intervalfor u.
A pet food company is concerned that their pet food must have a certain % of the mineral 2Ine II the food. Too little and dogs get very sick. If the machinery is working correctly, the average zinc is µu = .375 gram/lb of food.

Burning fuels in power plants and motor vehicles emits carbon dioxide (CO2), which contributes to global warming. The CO2 emissions (metric tons per capita) for countries varies from 0.02 in Burundi to 44.02 in Qatar. Although the data set includes 214 countries, the CO2 emissions of 15 countries are not available on the World Bank database. The data set is too large to display but the data for the first five countries is given. Use the full data set with data on the 214 countries to answer the questions.

An article in the San Jose Mercury News stated that students in the California state university system take 4.5 years, on average, to finish their undergraduate degrees. Dr. Lewis believes the mean time for students at Clayton State University is longer than this average. A survey of 49 graduates from Clayton State had a mean time of 5.1 years to complete their Bachelor's degree, with a sample standard deviation of 1.2 years. Correctly identify the null and alternative hypotheses for this study:
The differential is a standard measurement made during a blood test. It consists of classifying white blood cells into the following five categories: (1) basophils, (2) eosinophils, (3) monocytes, (4) lymphocytes, and (5) neutrophils. The usual practice is to look at 100 randomly selected cells under a microscope and to count the number of cells within each of the five categories. Assume that a normal adult will have the following proportions of cells in each category: basophils, 0.5%; eosinophils, 1.5%; monocytes, 4%; lym- phocytes, 34%; and neutrophils, 60%. *5.25 An excess of eosinophils is sometimes consistent with a violent allergic reaction. What is the exact probability that a normal adult will have 5 or more eosinophils? *5.26 An excess of lymphocytes is consistent with vari- ous forms of viral infection, such as hepatitis. What is the probability that a normal adult will have 40 or more lymphocytes? *5.27 What is the probability a normal adult will have 50 or more lymphocytes?
2. Carbon dioxide is an odorless, colorless gas that constitutes about 0.035% b volume of the atmosphere. It affects the heat balance by acting as a one-way screen. It lets in the sun's heat to warm the oceans and the land but blocks some of the infrared heat that is radiated from the earth. This reflected heat is absorbed into the lower atmosphere, producing a greenhouse effect which causes the earth's surface to become warmer than it would be otherwise. Systematic measurement of CO2 began in 1957 with Charles D. Keeling monitoring at Mauna Loa in Hawaii. Assume that these CO2 readings (in ppm) are obtained: 319 338 337 339 328 325 340 331 341 336 330 330 321 327 337 320 343 350 322 334 326 349 341 338 332 339 335 a.

An article published by the American Meteorological Society, gives a rating system used to classify Nor'easter storms that frequently hit New England which often cause havoc near the ocean. A severe storm has an average peak wave height of μ=16.4μ feet for waves near the shore. Suppose that a Nor'easter is in progress at the severe storm class rating. Peak wave heights are usually measured from land off piers. Suppose that a reading of 32 waves showed an average wave height of x¯=14.3 feet. Previous reports of severe storms indicate that σ=3.5 feet. Does this information suggest that the storm is decreasing below the severe rating? Use α=0.01 to test the claim.What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses. H0:H0:? p σ μ χ Select an answer < = ≠ > H1:H1:? μ p χ σ Select an answer ≠ > = <
