In a study of exhaust emissions from school buses, the pollution intake by passengers was determined for a sample of nine school buses used in the Southern California Air Basin. The pollution intake is the amount of exhaust emissions, in grams per person, that would be inhaled while traveling on the bus during its usual 1818‑mile trip on congested freeways from South Central LA to a magnet school in West LA. (As a reference, the average intake of motor emissions of carbon monoxide in the LA area is estimated to be about 0.0000460.000046 grams per person.) The amounts for the nine buses when driven with the windows open are given.

A good way to judge the effect of outliers is to do your analysis twice, once with the outliers and a second time without them. Give two 90%90% confidence intervals, one with all the data and one with the outliers removed, for the mean pollution intake among all school buses…

- This problem is based on information taken from The Merck Manual (a reference manual used in most medical and nursing schools). Hypertension is defined as a blood pressure reading over 140 mm Hg systolic and/or over 90 mm Hg diastolic. Hypertension, if not corrected, can cause long-term health problems. In the college-age population (18-24 years), about 9.2% have hypertension. Suppose that a blood donor program is taking place in a college dormitory this week (final exams week). Before each student gives blood, the nurse takes a blood pressure reading. Of 190 donors, it is found that 26 have hypertension. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of students with hypertension during final exams week is higher than 9.2%? Use a 5% level of significance.

- According to a report by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), containers and packaging generated about 34.6% of all municipal solid waste (MSW) in the country in a recent year. This was the largest category of such waste. The next highest group was nondurable goods, which accounted for 25.4 % of waste. This was followed by durable goods at 10.9%, yard trimmings/other at 13.4%, and food scraps at 15.7%. Suppose last year, one large midwestern U.S. city processed 303 (1,000 tons) of MSW broken down by waste type as follows: Waste Type Containers and Packaging Nondurable Goods Durable Goods Yard Trimmings/Other Food Scraps MSW (1,000 tons) 129 73 28 45 28 Determine if there is a significant difference between the distribution of municipal solid waste in this midwestern city and the distribution released by the EPA a.

After sorting, some of the solid refuse will be transported to an electric powerplant where it will be used as fuel. Data for the hauling of refuse from each site to the power plant are shown in Table P2-4. If the power plant will pay $8.00 per cubic yard of sorted solid waste delivered to the plant, where should the solid-waste site be located? Use the city’s viewpoint and assume that 200,000 cubic yards of refuse will be hauled to the plant for one year only. One site must be selected.arrow_forward
