In relation to the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, one of the critical measures being monitored by the World Health Organization is the annual mean concentrations of fine particulate matter of less than 2.5 microns of diameter (or PM2.5, in ug/m3 units] in urban areas. This is the usual indicator of air pollution. As of 2016, the World Health Organization reported that urban areas in the US have an average of 7.55 ug/m3. You believe that this might have declined in the country due to suspension of economic activities (like transportation operations) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Let us assume the variable follows a normal distribution with standard deviation of 0.11 ug/m3. From the 75 US urban areas that are randomly sampled, the mean is found to be 7.51 ug/m3 (for this same PM2.5 concentration). Conduct a hypothesis test at 5% level of significance.

An editorial in the New York Times on Sunday June 4, 2011 dicussed the redesigned fuel economy stickers to be required on new cars starting in 2013. Consider a new idsize fuord fusion s model. At $4-a-gallon gas, annual fuel costs would be about $2,200 for 15,000 miles driven... And thats for a car with a rated mileage of 34.9m.p.g. actual highway mileage, as with all vehicles, is lower, in this case about 27m.p.g. Industry clearly needs to do better. Did the times use the rated or the actual mileage in its computation?
In a study of exhaust emissions from school buses, the pollution intake by passengers was determined for a sample of nine school buses used in the Southern California Air Basin. The pollution intake is the amount of exhaust emissions, in grams per person, that would be inhaled while traveling on the bus during its usual 1818‑mile trip on congested freeways from South Central LA to a magnet school in West LA. (As a reference, the average intake of motor emissions of carbon monoxide in the LA area is estimated to be about 0.0000460.000046 grams per person.) The amounts for the nine buses when driven with the windows open are given. 1.151.15 0.330.33 0.400.40 0.330.33 1.351.35 0.380.38 0.250.25 0.400.40 0.350.35 A good way to judge the effect of outliers is to do your analysis twice, once with the outliers and a second time without them. Give two 90%90% confidence intervals, one with all the data and one with the outliers removed, for the mean pollution intake among all school buses…
In experiments to determine the effectiveness of drugs such as anti-fungal ointments that are applied to the skin, the concentration of the drug in a patient’s skin must be measured. The article “Determining Bioequivalence of Topical Dermatological Drug Products by Tape- Stripping” (W. Navidi, A. Hutchinson, et al., Journal of Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics, 2008:213–220) describes an improved method of measuring that is designed to ensure that all the drug in the skin is recovered. Assume that in an experiment using the old method, the mean amount of drug recovered from a sample of 49 patients was 105 ng with a standard deviation of 20 ng, and that in an experiment using the new method the mean amount of drug recovered in a sample of 35 patients was 117 ng with a standard deviation of 15 ng. Find a 98% confidence interval for the difference in the mean amounts recovered between the two methods.

What is the average NO3- concentration at the upslope site (3 decimal places)? What is the average NO3- concentration at the downslope site ( 3 decimal places)? Given the EPA drinking water quality standard is 10 mg/L of nitrate, is the upslope site safe to drink based only on nitrate content? (Enter yes or no) Is the downslope site safe to drink, based only on NO3- concentration?
