The article “The Selection of Yeast Strains for the Production of Premium Quality South African Brandy Base Products” (C. Steger and M. Lambrechts, Journal of Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2000:431–440) presents detailed information on the volatile compound composition of base wines made from each of 16 selected yeast strains. Below are the concentrations of total esters and total volatile acids (in mg/L) in each of the wines.
- a. Construct a
scatterplot of acid concentration versus ester concentration. Indicate the outlier. - b. Compute the coefficients of the least-squares line for predicting acid level (y) from ester level (x), along with their estimated standard deviations.
- c. Compute the P-value of the test of the null hypothesis H0 : β1 = 0.
- d. Delete the outlier, and recompute the coefficients of the least-squares line, along with their estimated standard deviations.
- e. Compute the P-value of the test of the null hypothesis H0 : β1 = 0 for the data with the outlier deleted.
- f. Does a linear model appear to be useful for predicting acid concentration from ester concentration? Explain.

- The vulnerability of inshore environments to contamination due to urban and industrial expansion in Mombasa is discussed in the paper “Metals, Petroleum Hydrocarbons and Organo- chlorines in Inshore Sediments and Waters on Mombasa, Kenya” [Marine Pollution Bulletin (1997) 34:570–577]. A geochemical and oceanographic survey of the inshore waters of Mombasa, Kenya, was undertaken during the period from September 1995 to January 1996. In the survey, suspended particulate matter and sediment were collected from 48 stations within Mombasa’s estuarine creeks. The concentrations of major oxides and 13 trace elements were determined for a varying number of cores at each of the stations. In particular, the lead concentrations in sus-pended particulate matter (mg kg21 dry weight) were determined at 37 stations. The researchers were interested in determining whether the average lead concentration was greater than 30 mg kg21 dry weight. The data are given in the following table along with summary…arrow_forwardThe vulnerability of inshore environments to contamination due to urban and industrial expansion in Mombasa is discussed in the paper “Metals, Petroleum Hydrocarbons and Organo- chlorines in Inshore Sediments and Waters on Mombasa, Kenya” [Marine Pollution Bulletin (1997) 34:570–577].

- PCBs and Pelicans. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), industrial pollutants, are known to be carcinogens and a great danger to natural ecosystems. As a result of several studies, PCB production was banned in the United States in 1979 and by the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants in 2001. One study, published in 1972 by R. Risebrough, is titled “Effects of Environmental Pollutants Upon Animals Other Than Man” (Proceedings of the 6th Berkeley Symposium on Mathematics and Statistics, VI, University of California Press, pp. 443–463). In that study, 60 Anacapa pelican eggs were collected and measured for their shell thickness, in millimeters (mm), and concentration of PCBs, in parts per million (ppm).

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_forward
- The article “Withdrawal Strength of Threaded Nails” (D. Rammer, S. Winistorfer, and D. Bender, Journal of Structural Engineering 2001:442–449) describes an experiment comparing the ultimate withdrawal strengths (in N/mm) for several types of nails. For an annularly threaded nail with shank diameter 3.76 mm driven into spruce-pine-fir lumber, the ultimate withdrawal strength was modeled as lognormal with μ = 3.82 and σ = 0.219.
