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?
How profitable are different sectors of the stock market? One way to answer such a question is to examine profit as a percentage of stockholder equity. A random sample of 32 retail stocks was studied for x1, profit as a percentage of stockholder equity. The result was
x1 = 13.2.
A random sample of 33 utility (gas and electric) stocks was studied for x2, profit as a percentage of stockholder equity. The result was
x2 = 10.0.
Assume ?1 = 4.2 and ?2 = 2.6. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some cases, this choice will increase the P-value by a small amount or increase the length of the confidence interval, thereby making the answer slightly more "conservative."
(a) Let ?1 represent the population mean profit as a percentage of stockholder equity for retail stocks, and let ?2 represent the population mean profit as a percentage of stockholder equity for utility stocks. Find a 95% confidence interval for ?1 − ?2.…
Q2.A study was conducted to optimize the concentration temperature in relation to the
amount of solids content (g/L) of orange concentrate (treatments). Due to
limited number of evaporators available, the experimenter was forced to use 4
different sized evaporators. It was presumed that the size of the evaporators
could be a possible source of variation (columns). As each run took 4 days time,
it was decided to control the effect of the experimentation time (rows) and the
experiment was conducted in a Latin Square Design. Answer the following
questions:
What will be the layout of this design
ii. Write the ANOVA showing the first two columns only (i.e. SOV and degrees of
freedom)
iii. Consider orange concentrate as treatments and time as a blocking factor
(RCBD) by ignoring evaporator effect, Write the layout of this design
iv. By considering (iii) make ANOVA showing only the first two columns
i.

- DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) was used extensively from 1940 to 1970 as an insecticide. It still sees limited use for control of disease. But DDT was found to be harmful to plants and animals, including humans, and its effects were found to be lasting. The amount of time that DDT remains in the environment depends on many factors, but the following table shows what can be expected of 200 kilograms of DDT that has seeped into the soil. t = time in yearssince application D = DDT remaining,kilograms 0 200.00 1 190.00 2 180.50 3 171.48 (a) Show that the data are exponential.

- A veterinary nutritionist developed a diet for overweight dogs. The total volume of food consumed remains the same, but one-half of the dog food is replaced with a low-calorie "filler" such as canned green beans. Six overweight dogs were randomly selected from her practice and were put on this program. Their initial weights were recorded, and they were weighed again after 4 weeks. The results of the experiment are shown below. At a=0.05, can it be concluded that the dogs significantly lost weight?

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_forward
