Table 6 shows the population, in thousands, of harbor seals in the Wadden Sea over the years 1997 to 2012. a. Let x represent time in years starting with x=0 for the year 1997. Let y represent the number of seals in thousands. Use logistic regression to fit a model to these data. b. Use the model to predict the seal population for the year 2020. c. To the nearest whole number, what is the limiting value of this model?
For the horseshoe crab data, fit the logistic regression model for π = probability of a satellite, using weight as the predictor. Data source (Horseshoe crab data set of Table 4.3): https://users.stat.ufl.edu/~aa/cda/data.html Note: In the original data set, weights are in grams rather than kg. Correct the unit by adding a new column which convert weight into kg and run the logistic regression with correct weight variable. a. Report the ML prediction equation. b. Find at the weight values 1.20, 2.44, and 5.20 kg, which are the sample minimum, mean, and maximum. c. Find the weight at which = 0.50 d. Ignore part d e. Construct a 95% confidence interval to describe the effect of weight on the odds of a satellite. Interpret. f. Conduct the Wald or likelihood-ratio test of the hypothesis that weight has no effect. Report the P -value and interpret.
Nonpoint source loads are chemical masses that travel to the main stem of a river and its tributaries in flows that are distributed over relatively long stream reaches, in contrast to those that enter at well-defined and regulated points.

Suppose that the weight of a type of organism is governed by a power law relationship with its length from snout to tail and the thickness of its central vertebrae W = cLpVq. One specimen weighed 37 kg with a length of 1.6 m and vertebral thickness 1 cm. A second specimen weighed 45 kg with a length of 1.6 m and vertebral thickness 1.3 cm. A third specimen weighed 56 kg with a length of 3.1 m and vertebral thickness 1.2 cm. Write an equation with the correct coefficient and parameters values.
The operator of a pumping station has observed that demand for water during early afternoon hours has an approximately exponential distribution with mean 1000 cfs (cubic feet per second). a) Find the probability that the demand will exceed 700 cfs during the early afternoon on a randomly selected day. b) What water-pumping capacity should the station maintain during early afternoons so that the probability that demand will be below the capacity on a randomly selected day is 0.995? c) Of the three randomly selected afternoons, what is the probability that on at least two afternoons the demand will exceed 700 cfs?
A study of the isopluvial maps revealed that at Najaf Al-Ashraf a maximum rainfall depth of 175 mm in 18 hr has a return period of 100 years. The probability of an 18 hr rainfall equal to or greater than 175 mm occurring at Najaf Al-Ashraf at least once in 50 years is
Consider a two component parallel system in which both components have times to failure and times to 0.0024 f/hr and µ1 = = 0.001 f /hr, 12 repair that are exponentially distributed. The data is 1, 0.003 r/hr and µ2 = 0.005 r/hr. Evaluate the reliability or probability of success for a mission of 1000 hr. (hint: form a history for each component using the data for failure rate and repair rate)
Structures in a county need to be designed for earthquake loading. After a detailed seismic risk analysis of the county, it is observed that the peak ground acceleration A observed in an earthquake event can be modeled by an exponential distribution with a mean of 0.2g. If A exceeds 0.4g, structures in the county will suffer significant damage. Assume that earthquakes occur on the average once every 2 years in the county, and the damage from different earthquakes is statistically independent. (a) What is the probability that there will be exactly two earthquakes in the next 50 years? (b) What is the probability of significant structural damage in an earthquake? (c) What is the probability of no significant structural damage due to earthquakes in a year? (d) What is the probability of no significant structural damage due to earthquakes in the next 50 years?
Determine the mean waiting time W for an M/M/2 system when lambda = 2 and μ = 1.2. Compare this with the mean waiting time in an M/M/1 system whose arrival rate is lambda = 1 and service rate is μ = 1.2. Since the arrival rate per server is the same in both cases and service times don’t vary, should the wait times be the same in both cases?
