A study was conducted to examine the effect of diet cola consumption on calcium levels in women. A sample of 16 healthy women
aged 18 to 40 were randomly assigned to drink 24 ounces of either diet cola or water. Their urine was collected for three hours after
ingestion of the beverage and calcium excretion (in mg) was measured. The data are stored in ColaCalcium.
The cetane number is a critical property in specifying the ignition quality of a fuel used in a
diesel engine. Determination of this number for a biodiesel fuel is expensive and time-
consuming. The article "Relating the Cetane Number of Biodiesel Fuels to Their Fatty Acid
Composition: A Critical Study" (J. of Automobile Engr., 2009: 565–583) included the
following data on x = iodine value (g) and y = cetane number for a sample of 15 biofuels
The iodine value (x) is the amount of iodine necessary to saturate a sample of 100 g of oil.

- Air pollutants common in U.S. cities include fine particulate matter (PM) and ozone (O3). PM is measured as “inhalable” particles 10 micrometers in diameter or “fine inhalable” particles 2.5 micrometers in diameter. Suppose that studies show, for a particular region, that cities exceed PM2.5 standards 20% of the time and exceed ozone standards 10% of the time. Assume that PM2.5 and ozone measurements are statistically independent. A) Determine the probability that a city, selected at random, exceeds one of the standards.

- An article in Journal of Food Science [“Prevention of Potato Spoilage During Storage by Chlorine Dioxide” (2001, Vol. 66(3), pp. 472–477)] reported on a study of potato spoilage based on different conditions of acidified oxine (AO), which is a mixture of chlorite and chlorine dioxide.

The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 124.32 µg/l and a SD of 37.74 µg/l; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level concentration of 35 µg/l. Test the hypothesis that the downtown police officers have a higher lead exposure than the group in the previous study. Interpret your results in context. Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for the average blood concentration level of police officers contain 35 µg/l? Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for this difference contain 0? Explain why or why not.arrow_forward
