According to a report from the United States Environmental Protection Agency, burning one gallon of gasoline
typically emits about 8.9 kg of CO2. A fuel company wants to test a new type of gasoline designed to have
lower CO2 emissions. Here are their hypotheses:
Ho: = 8.9 kg
Ha:H< 8.9 kg
(where u is the mean amount of CO2 emitted by burning one gallon of this new gasoline).
Under which of the following conditions would the company commit a Type I error?
Listed below are the overhead widths (in cm) of seals measured from photographs and the weights of the seals (in kg). The purpose of the study was to determine if weights of seals could be determined from overhead photographs. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a correlation between overhead widths and the weights of the seals? Use a significance level of α=0.02.

- 1.56 Longleaf pine trees. The Wade Tract in Thomas County, Georgia, is an old-growth forest of longleaf pine trees (Pinus palustris) that has survived in a relatively undisturbed state since before the settlement of the area by Europeans. A study collected data on 584 of these trees. One of the variables measured was the diameter at breast height (DBH). This is the diameter of the tree at 4.5 feet, and the units are centimeters (cm). Only trees with DBH greater than 1.5 cm were sampled. Here are the diameters of a random sample of 40 of these trees: PINES 27 10.5 13.3 26.0 18.3 52.2 9.2 26.1 17.6 40.5 31.8 47.2 11.4 2.7 69.3 44.4 16.9 35.7 5.4 44.2 2.2 4.3 7.8 38.1 2.2 11.4 51.5 4.9 39.7 32.6 51.8 43.6 2.3 44.6 31.5 40.3 22.3 43.3 37.5 29.1 27.9 (a) Find the five-number summary for these data.

Wind speeds must average more than 13 miles per hour (mph) for a site to be acceptable. Recently, the organization conducted wind speed tests at a particular site. To determine whether the site meets the organization's requirements, consider the test, Ho: μ =13 Ha: μ >13 where μ is the true mean wind speed at the site and a=.05 Suppose the observed significance level ( p-value) of the test is calculated to be p=0.4413 Interpret this result. Since the p-value greatly exceeds α = .05, there is strong evidence to reject the null hypothesis. Since the p-value exceeds α = .05, there is insufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis. We are 55.87% confident that μ = 13. The probability of rejecting the null hypothesis is 0.4413.arrow_forwardKm. 211.arrow_forward

Examine the relationship between these variables by testing both statistical significance and strength of association. Use chi-square for significance and choose the appropriate measures for strength of association (Phi, Cramer’s V, Lambda, or Gamma). Set alpha to .05. State the null and research hypotheses: H0: H1: What is the obtained chi-square value? What is the significance level (p-value) for the obtained chi-square? Should we reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Is there a statistically significant relationship between these variables? Which measure of association would be most appropriate for these variables? What is the value of the measure of association? Interpret your findings by explaining in full sentences whether there is a statistically significant relationship or not and the strength of the relationship. Also explain any patterns you see in the percentages:arrow_forwardA study was designed in which the relationship between smoking and work status was examined with 99% confidence.
