A survey collects demographic, socioeconomic, dietary, and health-related information on an annual basis. Here is a sample of 20 observations on HDL cholesterol level (mg/dl) obtained from the survey (HDL is "good" cholesterol; the higher its value, the lower the risk for heart disease). 34 48 53 53 64 52 52 46 87 37 45 32 38 44 62 94 36 31 47 40 (a) Calculate a point estimate (in mg/dl) of the population mean HDL cholesterol level. mg/dl (b) Making no assumptions about the shape of the population distribution, calculate a point estimate (in mg/dl) of the value that separates the largest 50% of HDL levels from the smallest 50%. mg/dl (c) Calculate a point estimate (in mg/dl) of the population standard deviation. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) mg/dl

Second-Hand Smoke: Data Set 12 “Passive and Active Smoke” in Appendix B includes cotinine levels measured in a group of nonsmokers exposed to tobacco smoke (n = 40, Mean = 60.58 ng>mL, s = 138.08 ng>mL) and a group of nonsmokers not exposed to tobacco smoke (n = 40, Mean = 16.35 ng>mL, s = 62.53 ng>mL). Cotinine is a metabolite of nicotine, meaning that when nicotine is absorbed by the body, cotinine is produced. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that nonsmokers exposed to tobacco smoke have a higher mean cotinine level than nonsmokers not exposed to tobacco smoke. Construct the confidence interval appropriate for the hypothesis test in part a. What do you conclude about the effects of second-hand smoke?
In forestry, the diameter of a tree at breast height is used to model the height of the tree. Silviculturists working in British Columbia’s boreal forest conducted a series of spacing trials to predict the heights of several species of trees. The data are the breast height diameters (in centimeters) and heights (in meters) for a sample of 18 white spruce trees.

GreenLawns provides a lawn fertilizing and weed control service. The company is adding a special aeration treatment as a low-cost extra service option, which it hopes will help attract new customers. Management is planning to promote this new service in two media: radio and direct-mail advertising. A media budget of $4,000 is available for this promotional campaign. Based on past experience in promoting its other services, GreenLawns has obtained the following estimate of the relationship between sales and the amount spent on promotion in these two media: S = -2R2 − 12M2 − 9RM + 20R + 39M, Where S = total sales in thousands of dollars R = thousands of dollars spent on radio advertising M = thousands of dollars spent on direct-mail advertising GreenLawns would like to develop a promotional strategy that will lead to maximum sales subject to the restriction provided by the media budget. (a) What is the value of sales if $3,000 is spent on radio advertising and $1,000 is…
