The concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is increasing rapidly due to our use of fossil fuels. Because plants use CO2 to fuel photosynthesis,
more CO2 may cause trees and other plants to grow faster. An elaborate apparatus allows researchers to pipe extra CO2 to a 30-meter circle of forest. They
selected two nearby circles in each of three parts of a pine forest and randomly chose one of each pair to receive extra CO2. The response variable is the mean
increase in base area for 30 to 40 trees in a circle during a growing season. We measure this in percent increase per year. Here are one year's data.

The DENR has a new procedure to detect algal bloom in water being tested. This new procedure
is important because, it could be used to detect three different contaminants-organic pollutants,
volatile solvents, and chlorinated compounds. The department claims that it can detect high
levels of organic pollutants with 99.95% accuracy, volatile solvents with 89.70% accuracy, and
chlorinated compounds with 99.70% accuracy. If an algal bloom is not present, the test does not
signal. Samples are prepared for the calibration of the test and 60% of them are contaminated
with organic pollutants, 27% with volatile solvents, and 13% with traces of chlorinated
compounds. A test sample is selected randomly.
Denote as follows: S = signal, O = organic pollutants, V = volatile solvents, C = chlorinated
compounds. If the test signals, what is the probability that chlorinated compounds are present?

- The spotted lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula, is an invasive species to the United States that has the potential to do significant agricultural damage. An ecologist is studying the relationship between the size of the female spotted lanternflies and the number of eggs they produce. The data are summarized below. Length of insect: AVG = 1 inch, SD = 0.15 inchNumber of eggs: AVG = 40 eggs, SD = 5 eggsr = 0.2 Using regression, we can say that the average number of eggs produced by female spotted lanternflies who are 1.1 inch long is closest to...

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 Click the icon to view the data table. a.

- ANSWER C AND D ONLYarrow_forwardThe authors of a paper compared two different instruments for measuring a person's capacity for breathing out air. (This measurement is helpful in diagnosing various lung disorders.) The two instruments considered were a Wright peak flow meter and a mini-Wright peak flow meter. Seventeen people participated in the study, and for each person air flow was measured once using the Wright meter and once using the mini-Wright meter. The Wright meter is thought to provide a better measure of air flow, but the mini-Wright meter is easier to transport and to use. Use of the mini-Wright meter could be recommended as long as there is not convincing evidence that the mean reading for the mini-Wright meter is different from the mean reading for Wright meter. For purposes of this exercise, you can assume that it is reasonable to consider the 17 people who participated in this study as representative of the population of interest. Data values from this paper are given in the accompanying table.…arrow_forwardThe authors of a paper compared two different instruments for measuring a person's capacity for breathing out air.

This figure represents up to 5% of all birds in the area. One possible solution is to construct windows angled downward slightly, so that they reflect the ground rather than an image of the sky to a flying bird. An experiment by Klem et al. (2004) compared the number of birds that died as a result of vertical windows, windows angled 20 degrees off vertical, and windows angled 40 degrees off vertical. The angles were randomly assigned with equal probability to six windows and changed daily; assume for this exercise that windows and window locations were identical in every respect except angle. Over the course of the experiment, 30 birds were killed by windows in the vertical orientation, 15 were killed by windows set at 20 degrees off vertical, and 8 were killed by windows set at 40 degrees off vertical. .
