Structural engineers use wireless sensor networks to monitor the condition of dams andbridges. The article “Statistical Analysis of Vibration Modes of a Suspension Bridge UsingSpatially Dense Wireless Sensor Network" (S. Pakzad and G. Fenves, Journal of StructuralEngineering, 2009:863-872) describes an experiment in which accelerometers were placedon the Golden Gate Bridge for the purpose of estimating vibration modes. The followingoutput (from MINITAB) describes the fit of a linear model that predicts thefrequency (in Hz) in terms of the damping ratio for overdamped (damping ratio >1) modes. There are n = 7 observations.The regression equation isFrequency = 0.773 - 0.280 Damping RatioPredictorCoef SE CoefConstant0.77289 0.14534 5.31760.003Damping -0.279850.079258 -3.53090.017RatioHow many degrees of freedom are there for the Student's t statistics?Find a 98% confidence interval for ß1.a.b.Find a 98% confidence interval for Bo-C.d.Someone claims that the frequency decreases by 0.6 Hz if the damping ratio increasesby 1.

In a study examining the effect of alcohol on reaction time, Liguori and Robinson (2001) found that evenmoderate alcohol consumption significantly slowed response time to an emergency situation in a drivingsimulation. In a similar study, researchers measured reaction time 30 minutes after participants consumed one6-ounce glass of wine. Again, they used a standardized driving simulation task for which the regular populationaverages μ = 400 msec. The distribution of reaction times is approximately normal with σ = 40. Assume that theresearcher obtained a sample mean of M = 422 for the n = 25 participants in the study.a. Are the data sufficient to conclude that the alcohol has a significant effect on reaction time? Use a two-tailed testwith α = .01.
A state agency requires a minimum of 5 parts per million (ppm) of dissolved oxygen in order for the oxygen content to be sufficient to support aquatic life. Six water specimens taken from a river at a specific location during the low-water season (July) gave readings of 4.8, 5.2, 4.8, 4.9, 4.9, and 4.6 ppm of dissolved oxygen. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that the dissolved oxygen content is less than 5 ppm? Test using ? = 0.05. a) state null and alternate hypotheses b) state the test statistic c) state the rejection region d) state the conclusion

NW 6.12 CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY OF CPA FIRMS. Corporate sustainability refers to business practices designed CORSUS around social and environmental considerations. Refer to the Business and Society (March 2011) study on the sustainability behaviors of CPA corporations, Exercise 2.23 (p. 59). Recall that the level of support for corporate sustainability (measured on a quantitative scale ranging from 0 to 160 points) was obtained for each in a sample of 992 senior managers at CPA firms. Higher point values indicate a higher level of support for sustainability. The accompanying StatCrunch printout gives a 99% confidence interval for the mean level of support for all senior managers at CPA firms.

The authors of the paper "Statistical Methods for Assessing Agreement Between Two Methods of Clinical Measurement"† compared two different instruments for measuring a person's ability to breathe out air. (This measurement is helpful in diagnosing various lung disorders.) The two instruments considered were a Wright peak flow meter and a mini-Wright peak flow meter. Seventeen people participated in the study, and for each person air flow was measured once using the Wright meter and once using the mini-Wright meter.
