The negative effects of ambient air pollution on children's lung function has been well established, but less research is available about the impact of indoor air pollution. The authors of an article investigated the relationship between indoor air-pollution metrics and lung function growth among children ages 6-13 years living in four Chinese cities. For each subject in the study, the authors measured an important lung-capacity index knovwn as FEV,, the forced volume (in ml) of air that is exhaled in 1 second. Higher FEV, values are associated with greater lung capacity. Among the children in the study, 514 came from households that used coal for cooking or heating or both. Their FEV, mean was 1427 with a standard deviation of 327. (A complex statistical procedure vas used to show that burning coal had a clear negative effect on mean FEV, levels.) (a) Calculate and interpret a 95% (two-sided) confidence interval for true average FEV, level in the population of all children from which the sample was selected. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)

A method of estimating earth temperature based on local precipitation is to build models based on 100s of years of earth at several different constant green house gas level (So constant global temperature for 100s of years) , and compare the correlation of statistical relationships between predicted precipitation patterns in a region, and observed precipitation patterns for a region in a few year time period.

Ankylosing spondylitis is an inflammatory disease which affects the spine and sacroiliac joint and can lead to the fusing of vertebrae in the spine. Exercise is important in helping manage pain, therefore a pharmaceutical company wanted to test if their new biologic would increase the time a patient could exercise before experiencing discomfort. The following table gives the time (in minutes) seven patients were able to exercise before reporting pain, both at baseline and then again after six months of taking the biologic.Exercise Time (in minutes)Subject 1 Baseline 30 Post-treatment 40Subject 245 40Subject 350 60Subject 435 37Subject 555 60Subject 620 25Subject 775 75Assume the population(s) of all exercise times is (are) normally distributed. Use JMP to test whether the evidence suggests that the time a person with ankylosing spondylitis can exercise before experiencing discomfort increases after taking this new biologic. Validate the test statistic from JMP by computing it manually.…
