One portion of the research described in a paper by Yean-Jye Lu5 involved an evaluation of maneuver times for vehicles of various sizes that were involved in making a left turn at an intersection with a separate left-turn lane but without a separate left-turn phase on the traffic light governing the intersection (an “unprotected” left-turn maneuver). The maneuver time was measured from the instant that a vehicle entered the opposing lanes of traffic until it completely cleared the intersection. Four-cylinder automobiles were classified as “small cars” and sixor eight-cylinder automobiles as “large cars.” Trucks and buses were combined to form a third category identified as “truck or bus.” Other motorized vehicles (motorcycles, etc.) were ignored in the study. A summary of the data, giving maneuver times (in seconds) for vehicles that attempted the left-turn maneuver from a standing stop, appears in the accompanying table.

Data for 14 streams with different mean water temperatures where salamander larvae were released are given (approximated from a graph that appeared in the paper). The two variables of interest are x = mean water temperature (°C) and y = net directionality, which was defined as the difference in the relative frequency of the released salamander larvae moving upstream and the relative frequency of released salamander larvae moving downstream. A positive value of net directionality means a higher proportion were moving upstream than downstream. A negative value of net directionality means a higher proportion were moving downstream than upstream.

- Suppose the number of seconds required to accelerate to 60 mph depends on both a car’s weight, its horsepower, and an interaction term between the two variables. Describe why an interaction term could be appropriate for the variables in this model and construct three linear relationships between acceleration time and weight, each for a different assumed value of horsepower.arrow_forwardFish produce a hormone called isotocin, a hormone that is similar to oxytocin in mammals. Both hormones, oxytocin and isotocin, have been linked to social behaviors including the suppression of social anxiety, trust, and attachment. Prior to this study the relationship between isotocin in the bloodstream and the amount of aggression or submission individual cichlid fish display was unknown. The researchers hypothesized that isotocin would suppress aggressive behaviors in cichlids to promote social cohesion as these fish exist in large social groups (schools). To address this hypothesis each of 10 fish were exposed to two treatments 1 week apart. One at a time a fish was randomly selected from the group of 10 and either injected with a saline solution ( that served as the control) or with isotocin. After this injection the fish was returned to its group and the amount of aggressive and submissive behaviors the fish demonstrated was recorded for the next 10 minutes. One week later this…arrow_forwardFish produce a hormone called isotocin, a hormone that is similar to oxytocin in mammals.

Four life-sized dummies of male lions provided a tool for testing female response to the unfamiliar lions whose manes varied by length (long or short) and color (blonde or dark). The female lions were observed to see whether they approached each of the four life-sized dummies. Complete parts (a) through (e) below. a. Identify the experimental units.

- A manufacturing company would like to assess the effectiveness of the advertisement campaign that is currently using in order to increase the sales of its products. The campaign includes both printed form of advertisements and advertisements through the radio. During a trial period of about one month they collected data for 22 consecutive weeks. The company spent different amounts for advertising in those weeks using at least one of the two kinds of advertisements. The sales (denoted by sales) are measured in thousands of dollars and so are the amounts spent for printed forms of advertisements (denoted by print_ad) and through the radio (denoted by radio_ad).

Based on recent data, you learned that one of the leading causes of road accidents is over speeding. In your desire to minimize road accidents, you went out to observe how traffic management rules are implemented on the streets. Your attention was caught by a fast - moving car that seemed to be breaking the speed limit of 100 kilometers per hour(km/hr.), and so you followed it along the highway. After a short time, the driver of the car noticed you and started to slow down. Eventually, he stopped on the side of the road. Supposed the speed of the car had been noted during this time and is modeled by the quadratic equation y = 3x² + 17x - 20, where y represents the speed of the car in km/hr. and x represents the number of minutes after you started following the car. How long did it take for the car to be under surveillance before it could finally stop on the side of…arrow_forwardAn educator is interested in determining if the medium used for online classes, whether a smartphone or laptop/desktop, influences the time (hrs) that Grade 12 students spend in these classes.
