When water flows across farmland, some soil is washed away, resulting in erosion. An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of the rate of water flow (liters per second) on the amount of soil (kilograms) washed away. The data are given in the following table: Flow rate 0.31 0.85 1.26 2.47 3.75 Eroded soil 0.82 1.95 2.18 3.01 6.07 The association between flow rate and the amount of eroded soil is: impossible to determine, because both variables are categorical. neither positive nor negative. positive. negative.

Calcium is essential to tree growth because it promotes the formation of wood and maintains cell walls. In 1990, the concentration of calcium in precipitation in a certain area was 0.15 milligrams per liter (mg/L). A random sample of 10 precipitation dates in 2007 results in the following data table. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. Click the icon to view the data table. (a) State the hypotheses for determining if the mean concentration of calcium precipitation has changed since 1990. Но Ho: 0.15 mg/L H1: 0.15 mg/L i Data Table (b) Construct a 95% confidence interval about the sample mean concentration of calcium precipitation.

Radon is a gas emitted from the ground that can collect in houses in buildings. At certain levels it can cause lung cancer. Radon concentrations are measured in picocuries per liter (pCi/L). A radon level of 4 pCi/L is considered “acceptable” Radon levels in a house vary from week to week. In one house, a sample of 6 weeks had the following readings for radon level (in pCi/L): 1.9 2.8 3.9 3.9 4.2 5.7 Find the variance and standard deviation (definitional formula). Show your work using a table.
The "spring-like effect" in a golf club could be determined by measuring the coefficient of restitution (the ratio of the outbound velocity to the inbound velocity of a golf ball fired at the clubhead). Twelve randomly selected drivers produced by two clubmakers are tested and the coefficient of restitution measured. The data follow: Club 1: 0.8406, 0.8104, 0.8234, 0.8198, 0.8235, 0.8562, 0.8123, 0.7976, 0.8184, 0.8265, 0.7773, 0.7871 Club 2: 0.8305, 0.7905, 0.8352, 0.8380, 0.8145, 0.8465, 0.8244, 0.8014, 0.8309, 0.8405, 0.8256, 0.8476 Test the hypothesis that both brands of ball have equal mean overall distance. Use α = 0.05 and assume equal variances. Question: Reject H0 if t0 < ___ or if t0 > ___.
