Q6.6. Imagine that a new, deadly coronavirus arises and starts a global pandemic. Experts are
worried because the disease spreads easily, having a basic repréductive number, R 0, of 5. The
good news is that an effective vaccine is quickly developed. What proportion of the population,
P, would need to be vaccinated to ensure that the disease can no longer spread?
CPUS made of two different materials are tested to see how they effect the processor speed of a
computer. Specifically, material 1 is currently in use, but material 2 is acceptable. Since material 2 is
cheaper, it should be adopted, providing it does not change the process yield. A test is run and results
are obtained as follows.

- Heights (cm) and weights (kg) are measured for 100 randomly selected adult males, and range from heights of 135 to 188 cm and weights of 39 to 150 kg. Let the variable x be the height. The 100 paired measurements yield x=167.08 cm, y=81.32 kg, r=0.254, and y=−109+1.07x. Find the best predicted value of y (weight) given an adult male who is 163 cm tall. Use a 0.05 significance level. The best predicted value of y for an adult male who is 163 cm tall is kg.

He is an optimistic man and intends to sleep in a tent. He is worried about leaks in the tent, but to his great satisfaction, he came across an advertisement for material that the manufacturers claim reduces leakage in tents by spraying it on the outer layer of the tent. He was not convinced but found a study where the material was examined. In the study, leakage in five tents was measured. First, it was measured how much it leaked without the material too much and then how much it leaked after the material was sprayed on the outer layer in each tent. High numbers mean high leakage and low numbers low leakage. It can be assumed that measured leaks follow a normal distribution. The results can be seen below: Harold is also a big fan of R and he performed the following calculations in R: > x<-c(8.6,9.2,7.8,7.2,8.9) > y<-c(6.2,7.2,7.6,8.2,6.1) > mean(x)[1] 8.34 >…arrow_forwardAn agricultural field trial compares the yield of two varieties of corn. The researchers divide in half each of 8 fields of land in different locations and plant each corn variety in one half of each plot. After harvest, the yields are compared in bushels per acre at each location. The 8 differences (Variety A - Variety B) give ī = 3.28 and s = 2.14. Does this sample provide evidence that Variety A had a higher yield than Variety B? (a) State the null and alternative hypotheses: (Type "mu" for the symbol u , e.g. mu >1 for the mean is greater than 1, mu <1 for the mean is less than 1, mu not = 1 for the mean is not equal to 1) Ho : 0 Ha : 0 (b) Find the test statistic, t = (C) Answer the question: Does this sample provide evidence that Variety A had a higher yield than Variety B?

- In an experimental study, it was noticed that people who eat more leafy, green vegetables tend to get better sleep than the general population. Researchers wonder whether the improved sleep might be caused by the minerals potassium and magnesium found in leafy, green vegetables. How could the researchers design an experiment to determine the effects of potassium and magnesium on sleep?arrow_forwardGiven the data provided, I need help solving parts C-E of my problem.

Let's call the new drug A and the old drug B. In a random sample of 120 subjects who took drug A, 40% developed sever side effects.
