- A researcher hypothesizes that in a certain country the net annual growth of private sector purchases of government bonds, B, is positively related to the nominal rate of interest on the bonds, NI, and negatively related to the rate of inflation Π: Bt = a0 + a1NIt + a2Π t + ut Note that it may be hypothesized that B depends on the real rate of interest on bonds, R, where R = NI – Π.

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.arrow_forward

- The article “Effect of Varying Solids Concentration and Organic Loading on the Performance of Temperature Phased Anaerobic Digestion Process” (S. Vandenburgh and T. Ellis, Water Environment Research, 2002:142–148) discusses experiments to determine the effect of the solids concentration on the performance of treatment methods for wastewater sludge. In the first experiment, the concentration of solids (in g/L) was 43.94 ± 1.18. In the second experiment, which was independent of the first, the concentration was 48.66 ± 1.76. Estimate the difference in the concentration between the two experiments, and find the uncertainty in the estimate.arrow_forwardFor the situation described below, state the null and alternative hypotheses to be tested.

- A crayon manufacturer is comparing the effects of two kinds of yellow dye on the brittleness of crayons. Dye B is more expensive than dye A, but it is thought that it might produce a stronger crayon. Four crayons are tested with each kind of dye, and the impact strength (in joules) is measured for each. The results are as follows: Dye A: 1.0 2.0 1.2 3.0 Dye B: 3.0 3.2 2.6 3.4 a) Can you conclude that the mean strength of crayons made with dye B is greater than that of crayons made with dye A? b) Can you conclude that the mean strength of crayons made with dye B exceeds that of crayons made with dye A by more than 1 J?arrow_forward) The following table shows 10 communities ranked by decayed, missing, or filled (DMF) teeth per 100 children and fluoride concentration in ppm in the public water supply: Rank by DMF Teeth FluorideCommunity per 100 children X Concentration Y 1 8 1 2 9 3 3 7 4 4 3 9 5 2 8 6 4 77 1…arrow_forwardThe vapor pressure of 1-chlorotetradecane at several temperatures are tabulated below.
