To investigate the fluid mechanics of swimming, twenty swimmers each swam a specified distance in a water-filled pool and in a pool where the water was thickened with food grade guar gum to create a syrup-like consistency. Velocity, in meters per second, was recorded and the results are given in a table below. The researchers concluded that swimming in guar syrup does not change swimming speed. (Use a statistical computer package to calculate the P-value. Use ?d = ?water − ?guar syrup. Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to three decimal places.)

The article “Mechanistic-Empirical Design of Bituminous Roads: An Indian Perspective” (A. Das and B. Pandey, Journal of Transportation Engineering, 1999:463–471) presents an equation of the form y = a(1/x1)b(1/x2)c for predicting the number of repetitions for laboratory fatigue failure (y) in terms of the tensile strain at the bottom of the bituminous beam (x1) and the resilient modulus (x2). Transform this equation into a linear model, and express the linear model coefficients in terms of a, b, and c.
The article “Abyssal Peridotites > 3800 Ma from Southern West Greenland: Field Relationships, Petrography, Geochronology, Whole-Rock and Mineral Chemistry of Dunite and Harzburgite Inclusions in the Itsaq Gneiss Complex” (C. Friend, V. Bennett, and A. Nutman, Contrib Mineral Petrol, 2002:71–92) describes the chemical compositions of certain minerals in the early Archaean mantle. For a certain type of olivine assembly, the silicon dioxide (SiO2) content (in weight percent) in a randomly chosen rock has mean 40.25 and standard deviation 0.36. Find the mean and standard deviation of the sample mean SiO2 content in a random sample of 10 rocks. How many rocks must be sampled so that the standard deviation of the sample mean SiO2 content is 0.05?
