An experiment was conducted to study the extrusion process of biodegradable packaging foam. Two of the factors considered for their effect on the foam diameter (mm) were the die temperature(145°C vs.155°C) and the die diameter (3 mm vs. 4 mm). The results are in the accompanying data table.

- When exposed to an infection, a person typically develops antibodies. The extent to which theantibodies respond can be measured by looking at a persons titer, which is a measure of the number of antibodies present. The higher the titer is, the more antibodies that are present. The data in Table represent the titers of 11 ill people and 11 healthy people exposed to the tularemia virus in Vermont. Is the level of titer in the ill group greater than the level of titer in the healthy group? Use the α = 0.10 level of significance.arrow_forwardWhat percentage of women that did not receive the treatment showed hair growth of 1-2 inches?

- Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body composition, which can be used to assess if someone is underweight, healthy weight, overweight but not obese, or obese. It is calculated as a person's weight (measured in Kilograms) divided by his/her height (measured in meters) squared. We recorded 5 students' BMI values and the numbers of hours they exercised in the past week, as following: BMI Hours of exercise 18.4 3.0 What is the value of r? 19.6 2.5 20.5 4.0 27.6 2.7 30.6 0.5arrow_forwardTire pressure (psi) and mileage (mpg) were recorded for a random sample of seven cars of thesame make and model.

As an experiment, she selected 25 pieces of wire, measured the outside diameters, and determined the molybdenum content. Then she measured the tensile strength of each piece. The results of the first four are recorded in the table.
