Hectic Repair Org. HRO) helps repair homes that are structurally weakened by minor earthquakes. After an earthquake, SmartProtect, an insurance company of some affected customers in the area estimates that the standard time to perform a preliminary damage assessment on an average-sized house would be about two hours. On behalf of the affected customers, SmartProtect is willing to pay a HRO employee doing such damage assessments $65 per hour. Suppose that Michael (an employee at HCRO who does flood damage assessment) takes three hours to complete the assessment on an average-sized house. What is Michael efficiency based on the standard time estimated by SmartProtect?
a. Approximately one hundred and fifty percent.
b. About one-third of an assessment job per hour
c. Approximately one hundred and thirty dollars per assessment
d. Approximately one hundred and ninety five dollars per assessment (before taxes)
e. Approximately sixty seven percent.
A study shows that the fewer the number of wolves in a rural area (Y), the more farms there are in the area (Y).A classmate argues that the number of farms should be limited because it is damaging the wolf population. Howwould you respond to that conclusion?
Some people recommend dabbing a small
amount of clove oil near the tooth when they
have toothache and cannot immediately get to
the dentist. (Clove oil is toxic, so only a very
small amount must be used.)
In your case, what do you usually do when you
have toothache and cannot immediately get to
the dentist?

- Fifty-four wild bears were anesthetized, and then their weights and chest sizes were measured and listed in a data set. Correlation Results Results are shown in the accompanying display. Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a linear correlation between the weights of bears and their chest sizes? When measuring an anesthetized bear, is it easier to measure chest size than weight? If so, does it appear that a measured chest size can be used to predict the weight? Use a significance level of a =0.05. Correlation coeff, r: 0.966175 Critical r: ±0.2680855 P-value (two tailed): 0.000 Determine the null and alternative hypotheses. H1: p (Type integers or decimals.

- You think your car’s fuel efficiency is much lower than it should be. The average fuel efficiency of your car that the car manufacturer claim is 27 mpg. Your car’s fuel efficiency is 22 mpg. A). which test would be conducted, z-test or t-test, and why?arrow_forwardA media personality argues that global temperatures are not rising, because every year an increase is reported, such as 0.09 degrees C. The difference from the previous year is less than the margin error of about 0.13 C, so that difference should be ignored. What is the best counterargument?arrow_forwardA cereal manufacturer has a machine that fills the boxes. Boxes are labeled "16 ounces," so the company wants to have that much cereal in each box. But no packaging process is perfect, so there will be minor variation. If the weight was set to 16 ounces, then half of the boxes would be underweight, which would not make consumers happy. So, manufacturer sets the weight to 16.3 ounces for filling the boxes. Based on their experience the company knows that the standard deviation will be 0.2 ounces. If the boxes are labled 16 ounces(and expected to weight 16 ounces), then what precentage of the boxes will be underweight? Include a sketch in your answer.
