1. The design life of a planned municipal water-distribution system is to end in 2050, and the population in the town has been measured every 10 years since 1930 by the US Census Bureau. The reported populations are given below. Year Population 1930 25521 1940 30208 1950 30721 1960 37253 1970 38302 1980 41983 1990 56451 2000 64109 Assuming the population growth follows the logistic curve pattern, a) Perform a non-linear regression to fit the historical data to the logistic curve equation, and estimate the populations in 2050 assuming four different scenarios where the Psat is 100, 110, 120 and 130 thousand people. Also determine coefficients a and b of the logistic model for each scenario.

A study was conducted to see how steady the elderly is on their feet. They had the subjects stand on a force platform and have them react to a noise. The force platform then measured how much they swayed forward and backward, and the data is in table #7.3.10 ("Maintaining balance while," 2013). Do the data show that the elderly sway more than the mean forward sway of younger people, which is 18.125 mm? Test at the 5% level.

6.9 The study of concentrations of atmospheric trace metals in isolated areas of the world has received considerable attention because of the concern that humans might somehow alter the climate of the earth by changing the amount and distribution of trace metals in the atmos- phere. Consider a study at the South Pole, where, over a 2-month period, seventy air samples were obtained. In thirty-five of the samples, the amount of magnesium was determined. In the remaining thirty-five samples, the amount of europium was determined. Sample Size Sample Mean Sample Standard Deviation Magnesium 35 1.0 2.21 Europium 35 17.0 12.65 a. What are the populations of interest in this study? b. Is there significant evidence of a difference in the mean magnesium and Europium levels? Use a 5 .05. c. What is the level of significance of your test? d. Estimate the mean levels of…
1.8 EZ-Windows, Inc. manufacturers replacement windows for the home remodeling business. In January, the company produces 15,000 windows and ended the month with 9,000 windows in inventory. EZ-Windows’ management team would like to de- velop a production schedule for the next three moths. A smooth production schedule is obviously desirable because it maintains the current workforce and provides a sim- ilar month-to-month operation. However, given the sales forecasts, the production capacities, and the storage capabilities as shown in Table 2, the management team does not think a smooth production schedule with the same production quantity each month possible. The company’s cost accounting department estimates that increasing production by one window from one month to the next will increase total costs by $1.00 for each unit increase in the production level. In addition, decreasing production by one unit from one month to the next will increase total costs by $0.65 for each unit…
A municipal solid-waste site for a city must be located at Site A or Site B. 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.
