An article reports that the average initial rate of absorption (in g/min·cm2) for a sample of five clay bricks with fine glass particles added was 1299.8 with a standard deviation of 329.8, and the average for another sample of five bricks without glass particles added was 4500.8 with a standard deviation of 271.6. Let μXμX represent the population mean without glass particles and let μYμY represent the population mean with glass particles. Find a 98% confidence interval for the difference μX−μYμX−μY. Round down the degrees of freedom to the nearest integer and round the answers to three decimal places.
A random sample of 100 observations from a quantitative population produced a sample mean of 28.0 and
a sample standard deviation of 6.5. Use the p-value approach to determine whether the population mean is
different from 31.
Arsenic occurs naturally in some ground water and can be toxic. A mean arsenic level of μ=9μ=9 parts per billion (ppb) is considered safe for agricultural use. A well in San Bernardino County is used to water strawberry crops. This well is tested on a regular basis for arsenic. A random sample of 46 tests gave a sample mean of 8 ppb arsenic, with a sample standard deviation of 5.4 ppb. Does this information indicate that the mean level of arsenic in this well is different from μ=9μ=9 ppb? Use α=0.05α=0.05What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses.

- A random sample of 46 adult coyotes in a region of northern Minnesota showed the average age to be x=2.07 years with sample staved deviation s=0.88 years. However, it is thought that the overall population mean age of coyotes is u=1.75. Do the sample data indicate that coyotes in this region of northern Minnesota tend to live longer than the average of 1.75 years?

Their sample of 83 caribou found an average weight of 163.4 kilograms (kg) with a standard deviation of 16.1 kg. The antlers had an average length of 109.7 eentimeters (em) with a standard deviation of 8.2 cm. The correlation was found to be 0.79. Compute the least squares regression line that predicts antler length from caribou weight. Ose this to prediction the antler length of a 170 kg.

- A researcher compares two compounds (1 and 2) used in the manufacture of car tires that are designed to reduce braking distances for SUVs equipped with the tires. The mean braking distance for SUVs equipped with tires made with compound 1 is 6969 feet, with a population standard deviation of 10.910.9. The mean braking distance for SUVs equipped with tires made with compound 2 is 7777 feet, with a population standard deviation of 14.814.8. Suppose that a sample of 3434 braking tests are performed for each compound. Using these results, test the claim that the braking distance for SUVs equipped with tires using compound 1 is shorter than the braking distance when compound 2 is used. Let μ1μ1 be the true mean braking distance corresponding to compound 1 and μ2μ2 be the true mean braking distance corresponding to compound 2. Use the 0.010.01 level of significance. Step 2 of 5 : Compute the value of the test statistic.
