John investigated the quantitative determination of Cr in high-alloy steels by a potentiometric titration of Cr6+. Before titrating, the steel was dissolved in acid and the chromium oxidized to Cr6+ by peroxydisulfate. Following are the results (%w/w Cr) for the analysis of a single reference steel: 16.968, 16.922, 16.840, 16.883, 16.887, 16.977, 16.857, 16.728 Calculate the mean, standard deviation and the 95% confidence interval of the mean

Researchers interested in lead exposure due to car exhaust sampled the blood of 52 police officers subjected to constant inhalation of automobile exhaust fumes while working traffic enforcement in a primarily urban environment. The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 124.32 µg/l and a SD of 37.74 µg/l; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level concentration of 35 µg/l. Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for the average blood concentration level of police officers contain 35 µg/l? Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for this difference contain 0? Explain why or why not.
Much concern has been expressed regarding the practice of using nitrates as meat preservatives. In one study involving possible effects of these chemicals, bacteria cultures were grown in a medium containing nitrates. The rate of uptake of radio-labeled amino acid (in dpm, disintegrations per minute) was then determined for each culture, yielding the following observations. 7,255 6,875 9,637 6,863 9,098 5,846 8,954 7,979 7,068 7,498 7,882 8,179 7,528 8,728 7,469 Suppose that it is known that the mean rate of uptake for cultures without nitrates is 8,000. Do the data suggest that the addition of nitrates results in a decrease in the mean rate of uptake? Test the appropriate hypotheses using a significance level of 0.10. Find the test statistic and P-value. (Use technology to calculate the P-value. Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to three decimal places.) t= P-value= State your conclusion. Reject H0. We have convincing evidence that the mean rate of…
The sulfate ion concentration in natural water can be determined by measuring the turbidity that results when an excess of BaCl2 is added to a measured quantity of the sample. A turbiditimeter, the instrument used for this analysis, was calibrated with a series of standard Na2SO4 solutions. The following data were obtained for the calibration:
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…
Penicillin is produced by the Penicillin fungus, which is grown in a broth whose sugar content must be carefully controlled. Several samples of broth were taken on three successive days, and the amount of dissolved sugars, in milligrams per milliliter, was measured on each sample. The results were as follows. Day 1 : 4.9 5.4 5.3 4.9 5.2 5.1 5.4 4.9 5.1 5.1 4.9 5.4 Day 2 : 5.5 5.2 5.1 5.0 5.3 5.4 5.3 5.2 5.4 5.3 5.4 5.1 Day 3 : 5.8 5.0 5.4 5.5 5.5 5.5 4.8 5.5 5.2 4.9 5.5 5.0 Construct an ANOVA table.

A study was done to compare the flu incidence rates at the sart and at the end of winter of a given year. A sample of 100 persons were asked for incidence of flu twice: once at the start and once at the end of winter. Sample data were as follows: a. Give 99% CI for the difference in flu incidence rates at the start and at the end of winter? b. Compute a measure of association between flue incidence at the start and at the end of winter?
A dentist wanted to determine if a relationship existed between childhood fluoride exposure and cavities. She took a sample of adults in her practice and counted how many cavities each person had in his or her permanent teeth. She also determined how many years of childhood each person was exposed to tap water with fluoride. The minimum value on this variable was 0 and the maximum was 18. Using the data below, an alpha of .05 and a two-tailed test, was there a significant relationship? Years of fluoride Number of cavities 0 10 18 1 2 7 12 3 3 4 10 5 M = 7.5s =6.98 M = 5.00s = 3.16

The following BTU measurements are taken relative to some chemical process: 1244, 1198, 1212, 1235, 1245, 1190, 1202, 1220, 1233, 1208. A problem with the process is indicated if the mean BTU measurement varies too greatly from 1230. Given the aforementioned data, the hypotheses H0: µ = 1230 and H1: µ ≠ 1230, and α = 0.05, do the data indicate a problem with the chemical process? a. As |-1.72| < 1.833, the data do not indicate a problem with the chemical process. b. As |-1.72| < 2.262, the data do not indicate a problem with the chemical process. c.
