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):

One operation of a mill is to cut pieces of steel into parts that will later be used as the frame for front seats in an automobile. The steel is cut with a diamond saw and requires the resulting parts to be
within 10.005 inch of the length specified by the automobile company. Data are collected from a sample of 50 steel parts and are shown in the following table. The measurement reported is the
difference in inches between the actual length of the steel part, as measured by a laser measurement device, and the specified length of the steel part. For example, the first value, -0.003,
represents a steel part that is 0.003 inch shorter than the specified length. Complete parts a through c

How sensitive to changes in water temperature are coral reefs? To find out, scientists examined data on sea surface temperatures, in degrees Celsius, and mean coral growth, in centimeters per year, over a several‑year period at locations in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. The table shows the data for the Gulf of Mexico.
