An automobile weighing 4500 lb is driven down a 5° incline at a speed of 60 mi/h when the brakes are applied, causing a constant total braking force (applied by the road on the tires) of 1800 lb. Determine the distance trav- eled by the automobile as it comes to a stop. 50

Explain the Tukey HSD results in the attached table .
According to the National Center for Health Statistics (2004), 22.4% of adults are smokers. A random sample of 300 adults is obtained. Subquestion: What would the minimum number of adults need to be in order to ensure the sampled values are independent of each other?
Governor Andy Beshear stated that COVID-19 is disproportionately affecting the AfricanAmerican community in Kentucky. As of April 21, there are 144 deaths from COVID-19 where the race of the patient is known, and of those 20 are African-American. AfricanAmericans make up 8% of the population of Kentucky overall. Does this information indicate that African-Americans in Kentucky are dying from COVID-19 at a disproportionate rate? Use an α = 0.05 significance level to test this claim. (d) What is the P-value?(e) Write a brief summary of your conclusion.
Mechanical engineer Kwok Wai Tham of the National University of Singapore set out to sample how much virus COVID-19 patients produce when they breathe, talk or sing, in part, to address skeptics’ concerns. “I’m doing this to convince some very close friends,” he says. He and colleagues rolled a mobile lab into 22 patients’ rooms and had volunteers stick their heads into a large metal cone. The researchers collected both aerosols and larger droplets that the patients exhaled while breathing quietly for 30 minutes, while repeating passages from Dr. Seuss’ Green Eggs and Ham for 15 minutes, or while singing simple tunes like the “Happy Birthday” song, “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” or the “ABCs” for 15 minutes. The scientists tested both aerosols and large droplets in the air samples for coronavirus RNA and calculated how many copies of the virus’s nucleocapsid protein gene, or N gene, were present. That gives an estimate of how much virus is in a sample.Of the 22 patients who sang for…
Suppose that 3000 drivers in Wakanda were randomly breath-tested on 21 April 2019 and 116 were above the limit of 0.05 blood- alcohol level. On 15 May 2019, 4000 drivers were tested and 98 were above this level What additional information would you require before trying to draw a conclusion from these data?
The grades of a sample of 9 students on a prelim exam (x) and on the midterm exam (y) are shown in the excel worksheet. Predict the midterm grade if the prelim grade is 85.
Among college students, the proportion p who say they’re interested in their congressional district’s election results has traditionally been 65%. After a series of debates on campuses, a political scientist claims that the proportion of college students who say they’re interested in their district’s election results is more than 65%. A poll is commissioned, and 172 out of a random sample of 255 college students say they’re interested in their district’s election results. Is there enough evidence to support the political scientist's claim at the 0.05 level of significance? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. a. State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1. b.Find the value of the test statistic c. Find the p-value d.

A cohort study was conducted over five years among 200 trial attorneys and general practice attorneys after stringent tort law reform, to see how many would develop heart conditions over time. In total, 50 attorneys developed heart disease. It was found that 40 who developed disease practiced trial law, while 10 who developed disease did not practice trial law. One hundred (100) who did not develop disease also did not practice trial law, and 50 who did not develop disease practiced trial law. Set up the 2 x 2 table and calculate the appropriate rate of risk

After a series of debates on campuses, a political scientist claims that the proportion of college students who say they’re interested in their district’s election results is more than 65%. A poll is commissioned, and 179 out of a random sample of 270 college students say they’re interested in their district’s election results.

A seven-year medical research study reported that women whose mothers took the drugDES during pregnancy were twice as likely to develop tissue abnormalities that might leadto cancer as were women whose mothers did not take the drug.a. This study compared two populations. What were the populations?b. Do you suppose the data were obtained in a survey or an experiment?c. For the population of women whose mothers took the drug DES during pregnancy, asample of 3980 women showed that 63 developed tissue abnormalities that might leadto cancer. Provide a descriptive statistic that could be used to estimate the number ofwomen out of 1000 in this population who have tissue abnormalities.d. For the population of women whose mothers did not take the drug DES duringpregnancy, what is the estimate of the number of women out of 1000 who would beexpected to have tissue abnormalities?

According to the Pew Research Center, the proportion of the American population who use only a cellular telephone (no landline) is 0.37. Jason conducts a survey of thirty 20- to 24-year-olds who live on their own and finds that 16 do not have a landline to their home. Does this provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of 20- to 24-year-olds who live on their own and don’t have a landline is greater than 0.37? Use an a=0.10 level of significance.
