In rock blasting, the peak particle velocity (PPV) depends both on the distance from the
blast and on the amount of charge. The article "Prediction of Particle Velocity Caused by
Blasting for an Infrastructure Excavation Covering Granite Bedrock" (A. Kahriman,
Mineral Resources Engineering, 2001:205-218) presents data on PPV, scaled distance
(which is equal to the distance divided by the square root of the charge), and the amount of
charge. The following table presents the values of PPV, scaled distance, and amount of
charge for 15 blasts.

The body mass index (BMI) of a person is defined to be the person’s body mass
divided by the square of the person’s height. The article “Influences of Parameter
Uncertainties within the ICRP 66 Respiratory Tract Model: Particle Deposition” (W.
Bolch, E. Farfan, et al., Health Physics, 2001:378–394) states that body mass index (in
kg/m2) in men aged 25–34 is lognormally distributed with parameters μ = 3.215 and σ = 0.157.
a.Find the mean and standard deviation BMI for men aged 25–34.
b.Find the standard deviation of BMI for men aged 25–34.

How does lateral acceleration—side forces experienced in turns that are largely under driver control—affect nausea as perceived by bus passengers? An article reported data on x = motion sickness dose (calculated in accordance with a British standard for evaluating similar motion at sea) and y = reported nausea (%). Relevant summary quantities are
n = 17,
xi = 223.9
,
yi = 196
,
xi2 = 3056.65
,
xiyi = 2759.6
,
yi2 = 2976
.
Values of dose in the sample ranged from 6.0 to 17.6.
(a) Assuming that the simple linear regression model is valid for relating these two variables (this is supported by the raw data), calculate and interpret an estimate of the slope parameter that conveys information about the precision and reliability of estimation. (Calculate a 95% CI. Round your answers to three decimal places.)
