Anyone who has been outdoors on a summer evening has probably heard crickets. Did you know that it is possible to use the cricket as a thermometer? Crickets tend to chirp more frequently as temperatures increase. This phenomenon was studied in detail by George W. Pierce, a physics professor at Harvard.

please answer 1 & 2 The National Highway Safety Administration recognizes that the antilock braking system as a revolutionary safety feature. The claim is that automobiles with this system are involved in fewer fatal crashes than those without. State the null and the alternative hypothesis to test this claim. An economist believes that there is a positive correlation between income and percent of disposable income saved by young adults. To test this, a sample of income and saving data is gathered from the Division of Taxation for adults under the age of 35. State the null and the alternative hypothesis to test this claim.
1. Per the CDC article, men have higher blood pressure than women. Is this also true for this wholesale distribution center population? Use 0.05. Determine whether your (NEW) sample provides statistical evidence that this company’s population of adults has men with a higher blood pressure than women. Set alpha at 0.05 just focus on the Systolic number.
You have received a radioactive mass that is claimed to have a mean decay rate of at least 1 particle per second. If the mean decay rate is less than 1 per second, you may return the product for a refund. Let X be the number of decay events counted in 10 seconds. a) If the mean decay rate is exactly 1 per second (so that the claim is true, but just barely), what is P(X ≤ 1)? b) Based on the answer to part (a), if the mean decay rate is 1 particle per second, would one event in 10 seconds be an unusually small number? c) If you counted one decay event in 10 seconds, would this be convincing evidence that the product should be returned? Explain. d) If the mean decay rate is exactly 1 per second, what is P(X ≤ 8)? e) Based on the answer to part (d), if the mean decay rate is 1 particle per second, would eight events in 10 seconds be an unusually small number? f) If you counted eight decay events in 10 seconds, would this be convincing evidence that the product should be returned? Explain.

Suppose now that that Y denotes the annual salaries (in thousands of dollars) for US citizenswho are in their 40s and 50; and X is an indicator (dummy) variable: X = 1 if that workergraduated from college and X=0 otherwise. Suppose the average annual salary for this age groupis $45,000 and the estimate for β is β~ = 15 with s.e. = 5.a. What is the t-statistic and associated p-value for the null hypothesis that attending collegehas no impact on subsequent salary?b. What is the upper and lower bound of a 95-percent confidence interval for β~ ?c. In a credible research design attending college would be randomly assigned to a largesample of potential students. Propose such a research design. What are the potential ethicalissues?
A worker with a weight of 65 kg and a body surface area of 1.74 , performs physical work activities in several work environments as shown in the following table. The work activities of these workers require energy and a measured metabolic rate of 400 W/m2. During their work activities, the worker wears a coverall made of polyolefin and wears a headgear (1) Calculate the average WBGT of the work environment. (2) Perform an analysis related to the heat stress experienced by the worker, if the worker performs his work activities for 75% of his total working time and the rest is rest, (note: use TLV from ACGIH and ISO 7243)
In recent years, a substantial amount of research has focused on a possible relationship between chemical contamination of various sorts and mental impairment in children. An article reported data on hair-lead concentration for a sample of mentally impaired children for which the cause of impairment was unknown. Sample statistics were n = 41 X Bar = 16 ppm s = 5.36 ppm The paper states that 14.27 ppm is considered the acceptable upper limit of hair-lead concentration. Let μ= the average hair-lead concentration for all mentally impaired children with the cause of impairment unknown. H0: μ = 14.27 versus H1: μ > 14.27 at 0.01 significance level Does the given sample data support the research hypothesis that true average hair concentration for all such mentally impaired children exceeds the acceptable upper limit? Assume normality. 1. reject null hypothesis 2. fail to reject null hypothesis
Mr. X is a resident of Wakanda Ward who is concerned with the recent low turnout in local elections in this area. In an effort to understand the occurrence, Mr. Mbewe conducted research investigating the factors that drive an individual’s decision to participate in voting at Local Government level.
