The department of zoology at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University carried out a study to determine if there is a significant difference in the density of organisms in two different stations located in Cedar Run, a secondary river that is located in the river basin. Roanoke. Drainage from a sewage treatment plant and overflow from the Federal Mogul Corporation sedimentation pond enter the flow near the source of the river. The following data give the density measurements, in numbers of organisms per square meter, at the two different collecting stations.

As part of a larger project to study the behavior of stressed-skin panels, a structural component being used extensively in North America, an article reported on various mechanical properties of Scotch pine lumber specimens. Data on the modulus of elasticity (MPa) obtained 1 minute after loading in a certain configuration and 4 weeks after loading for the same lumber specimens is presented here.

I was told to submit my question to a specialtist. Thank youarrow_forwardAn ecologist hypothesizes that birds with longer wing spans use wider tree branches. The ecologist captured male birds, measured their wing span and other characteristics in millimeters, and then marked and released them. During the ensuing winter, the ecologist repeatedly observed the marked birds as they foraged for food on tree branches. He noted the branch diameter on each occasion, and calculated the average branch diameter for each bird in centimeters. The measurement data are below.

In an accelerated life test, the principal material, polymer-coated nylon weave, is aged by exposing it to 158 degrees F for 168 hours. The tensile strength of the specimens of this material is measured beforea nd after the aging process. The following data (in psi) are recorded: Specimen Original Aged 1 215 203 2 226 216 3 226 217 4 219 211 5 222 215 6 231 218 7 234 224 8 219 210 9 209 201 10 216 207 Is there evidence to support the claim that the nylon weave tensile strength is the same before and after the aging process?

- Find the average value of y = √ax over [0, a]arrow_forwardIn the 2015 AFC Championship game, there was a charge that the New England Patriots underinflated their footballs for an advantage. The Patriots' opponents during the championship game were the Indianapolis Colts. Measurements of the Colts' footballs were taken. The balls should be inflated to between 12.5 and 13.5 pounds per square inch (psi). The accompanying data consists of six of the eight measurements on the Colts' footballs. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. 12.75, 12.50, 12.15, 12.35, 12.55, 12.30 The test statistic is = (Round to two decimal places as needed.) The p-value is = (Round to three decimal places as needed.) b. Use the data to construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean psi for the Colts' footballs. How does this confidence interval support your conclusion in part (a)? The 95% confidence interval is ___ psi to ___ psi. (Round to two decimal places as needed. Use ascending order.)arrow_forwardFind the area of the shaded region with density scores of the 0 and mean of 1 z=-1.16arrow_forward
