Tailings dams are a major feature of the mining industry. They have not been studies extensively from the point of view of statistical reliability, and some of the data are hard to come by. Nevertheless, it is clear that they fail at a higher rate than engineered dams. It is reasonable to assume that their failure is governed by a Weibull distribution with shape parameter B = 1.5. If dams seem to fail at the rate of 0.001 per dam-year, a) What is the mean time to failure (MTTF)? b) What is the value of the scale parameter 0? c) What is the median failure time?

Which of the following can cause the usual OLS t statistics to be invalid (that is, not to have t distributions under H0)?(i) Heteroskedasticity.(ii) A sample correlation coefficient of .95 between two independent variables that are in the model.(iii) Omitting an important explanatory variable.
In a study examining the effects of alcohol on reaction time,Liguori and Robinson (2001) found that even moderate alcohol consumption significantly slowed response time to an emergency situation in a driving simulation. In a similar study,reasearchers measured reactio 30 minutes after participants consumed one 6- ounce glass of wine.Again, they used a standardized simulation task for which the regular population averages of population= 4000msec. The distributions of reactions times is approximately normal with deriavance=40. Assume that the researcher obtained a sample mean of M=422 for the n= 25 participants in the study. A) are the data sufficient to conclude that alcohol has a significant effect on reaction time? Use a two tailed test with a=.01 B) Do the data provide evidence that the alcohol significantly increased reaction time? C) Compare Cohen's d to estimatethe size of the effect
A Data analytics professor wants to know whether level of college education influences the grade earned by students in his course. Last semester, 400 students completed his class: 150 freshmen, 100 sophomores, 100 juniors, and 50 seniors. At end of the semester, 80 students earned an A, 148 earned a B, and 172 earned a C. The distribution of grades is shown in the following table. Do a chi-square test at alpha=0.05. What is the null hypothesis for this test? A. The letter grades of the students are significantly different. B. The letter grades of the students are dependent of the level of college education. C. The letter grades of the students are identical. D. The letter grades of the students are independent of the level of college education.
In an air pollution experiment, two types of sensors for measuring the amount of sulfur monoxide in the atmosphere are being compared. The goal is to see if the different types of instruments produce measurements with the same variability. For the instrument, the following readings were taken. Test the null hypothesis with a two-tailed test at the 0.05 level of significance, assuming the population of measurements is generally normally distributed.
