Concept explainers
Blood alcohol content (BAC) is measured in grams of alcohol per deciliter of blood. For instance, a BAC reading of 0.08% (a level that is considered legally intoxicated in most states) means that one deciliter of the person’s blood contains 0.08 gram of alcohol. A toxicologist recorded the times elapsed, in hours, until the blood alcohol levels of eight adults who had consumed various amounts of alcohol were less than 0.005%. The results are given in the table.
a. Find the regression equation and linear
b. Use the equation to predict the time it would take for a person with a BAC of 0.06% to reach a BAC level of less than 0.005. Round to the nearest tenth.

As part of their research, officials are interested in estimating the average parking time of students from within the various colleges on campus. A survey of 338 College of Business (COBA) students yields the following descriptive information regarding the length of time (in minutes) it took them to find a parking spot. Note that the "Lo 95%" and "Up 95%" refer to the endpoints of the desired confidence interval. Variable N Lo 95% CI Mean Up 95% CI SD Parking Time 338 9.1944 10.466 11.738 11.885 Give a practical interpretation for the 95% confidence interval given above. We are 95% confident that the average parking time of the 338 COBA students surveyed falls between 9.19 and 11.74 minutes. We are 95% confident that the average parking time of all COBA students falls between 9.19 and 11.74 minutes. 95% of the…arrow_forward
- The amounts of power used in an electrical maintenance shop are as follows: April, 41.2 kilowatt-hours; May, 59.25 kilowatt-hours; June, 53.63 kilowatt-hours; July, 62.4 kilowatt-hours; August, 63.75 kilowatt- hours; September, 30.35 kilowatt-hours. What is the average monthly power usage? Express the answer to the nearest hundredth.arrow_forwardIn a study at The Ohio State University, 16 student volunteers drank a randomly assigned number of cans of beer. Thirty minutes later, a police officer measured their blood alcohol content (BAC) in grams of alcohol per deciliter of blood. Throughout the United States, the legal BAC limit is 0.08. The students were equally divided between men and women and differed in weight and usual drinking habits. Because of this variation, many students do not believe that the number of ingested drinks predicts BAC well.The data in the given figure consists of: a.2 unpaired sets of values, each of which has 16 values b.32 ordered pairs of values c.16 ordered pairs of valuesarrow_forward
