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?
In the production of synthetic motor lubricant from coal, a new catalyst has been discovered that seems to affect the viscosity index of the lubricant. In an experiment consisting of 23 production runs, 11 used the new catalyst and 12 did not. After each production run, the viscosity index of the lubricant was determined to be as follows.

The two samples are independent. Use a 0.01 level of significance to test the null hypothesis that the viscosity index is unchanged by the catalyst against the alternate hypothesis that the viscosity index has changed.
1.) Find the sample test statistic. (Use 2 decimal places.)2.) For the sign test, rank-sum test, and Spearman correlation coefficient test, find the P-value of the sample test statistic. For the runs test of randomness, find the critical values from Table 10 of Appendix II. (Use 4 decimal places.)
b) What are the three models proposed as extensions of the GARCH model? Describe their advantages over the GARCH.
