An environmental chemist is performing a study of iron in atmospheric particulate measured
downwind from a steel mill. She is concerned that wind velocity at the time of measurement may
affect the readings. So, she decided to obtain observations on 30 randomly chosen days during the
period of peak operation of the mill. She then, compares measurements taken on days when the wind
is calm (velocity ≤ 5 knots) with measurements taken on windy days (velocity > 5 knots). The data are
presented as the following:

By using SPSS or Minitab only:
(1) Generate a descriptive table and summarize the data.
(ii) Synthesize and discuss the different on the iron level between two days using boxplots.
(iii) Propose the appropriate test to the study.
Q5 a) Demographic data from 126 countries is obtained for the year 2017. It is hypothesized
that life expectancy (Y) is dependent on number of under five deaths (X2) , polio
immunization coverage (D), Per capita Govt. Exp. on Health Care (X3) (in Rs crores),
Per Capita GNI (in Rs crores) (X4) and Average number of years of Schooling (Xs).
Polio immunization coverage =1 if yes and 0 otherwise. Following regressions were
estimated:

Holger, an employee of Statistics Norway, is asked to investigate this research question. He uses panel data for n = 60 municipalities observed in T = 10 time periods. The data set contains information on per capita alcohol consumption (in liters per year) in municipality i in year t (alcoholit) and on the number of hours that liquor stores were open during year t in municipality i (hoursit).

- Heights (om) and weights (kg) are measured for 100 randomly selected adult males, and range from heights of 138 to 188 cm and weights of 41 to 150 kg. Let the predictor variable x be the first variable given. The 100 paired measurements yield x 167.74 cm, y 81.46 ko, r0.239, Pvalue 0.017, and y - 106 + 1,15x. Find the best predicted value of y (weight) given an adult male who is 153 cm tall. Use a 0.01 significance level. The best predicted value of y for an adult male who is 153 cm tall is kg.

A certain variety of grass seed usually has a germination rate of 0.80, and a company wants to see if spraying the seeds with a chemical that is known to change germination rates in other species will change the germination rate of this grass species. (a) Suppose the company plans to spray a random sample of 400 seeds and conduct a two-sided test of 0: 0.8Hpusing = 0.05. They determine that the power of this test against the alternative 0.75pis 0.69. Interpret the power of this test.(b) Describe two ways the company can increase the power of the test. What is a disadvantage of each of these ways? (c) The company researchers spray 400 seeds with the chemical and 307 of the seeds germinate.
