Chapter 12: Q. 24 (page 803)

Western lowland gorillas, whose main habitat is the central African continent, have a mean weight of 275poundswith a standard deviation of 40pounds. Capuchin monkeys, whose main habitat is Brazil and a few other parts of Latin America, have a mean weight of 6poundswith a standard deviation of 1.1pounds. Both weight distributions are approximately Normally distributed. If a particular western lowland gorilla is known to weigh 345pounds, approximately how much would a capuchin monkey have to weigh, in pounds, to have the same standardized weight as the lowland gorilla?

(a)4.08

(b)7.27

(c) 7.93

(d) 8.20

(e) There is not enough information to determine the weight of a capuchin monkey.

Short Answer

Expert verified

As the weight of a capuchin monkey is,x鈮�7.93

So, (c) option is the correct one.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Mean weight of western lowland gorillas is, a=275pounds

And its standard deviation is, S.D1=40pounds

And its weight is,w=345pounds

Mean weight of Capuchin monkeys is, b=6pounds

And its standard deviation is,S.D2=1.1pounds

02

Simplify

We know that,

The z-score of gorilla is given as,

z=w-aS.D1=345-27540=1.75

As the standardized weight of capuchin monkey is same as that of gorilla. So, their z-scores must be equal to each other i.e. z-score of capuchin monkey is, z=1.75

Now, as we know z- score is given as,

z=x-bS.D2=1.75x-61.1=1.75x-6=1.75脳1.1x-6=1.925x=7.925鈮�7.93

Therefore, from above we get the correct option i.e. (c)

Foresters are interested in predicting the amount of usable lumber they can harvest from various tree species. They collect data on the diameter at breast height (DBH) in inches and the yield in board feet of a random sample of 20Ponderosa pine trees that have been harvested. (Note that a board foot is defined as a piece of lumber 12inches by 12inches by 1inch.) A scatterplot of the data is shown below

(a) Some computer output and a residual plot from a least squares regression on these data appear below. Explain why a linear model may not be appropriate in this case.

(B) Use both models to predict the amount of usable lumber from a Ponderosa pine with diameter 30inches. Show your work.

(c) Which of the predictions in part (b) seems more reliable? Give appropriate evidence to support your choice.

Boyle鈥檚 law Refers to Exercise 34. Here is Minitab output from separate regression analyses of the two sets of transformed pressure data:

Do each of the following for both transformations.

(a) Give the equation of the least-squares regression line. Define any variables you use.

(b) Use the model from part (a) to predict the pressure in the syringe when the volume is 17 cubic centimeters. Show your work.

(c) Interpret the value of s in context.

An experimenter wishes to test whether or not two types of fish food (a standard fish food and a new product) work equally well at producing fish of equal weight after a two-month feeding program. The experimenter has two identical fish tanks (1 and 2) to put fish in and is considering how to assign 40fish, each of which has a numbered tag, to the tanks. The best way to do this would be to

(a) put all the odd-numbered fish in one tank, the even in the other, and give the standard food type to the odd-numbered ones.

(b) obtain pairs of fish whose weights are virtually equal at the start of the experiment and randomly assign one to Tank 1 and the other to Tank2, with the feed assigned at random to the tanks.

(c) proceed as in part (b), but put the heavier of the pair into Tank2.

(d) assign the fish at random to the two tanks and give the standard feed to Tank1.

(e) not proceed as in part (b) because using the initial weight in part (b) is a nonrandom process. Use the initial length of the fish instead.

A manufacturer of electronic components is testing the durability of a newly designed integrated circuit to determine whether its life span is longer than that of the earlier model, which has a mean life span of 58months. The company takes a simple random sample of 120integrated circuits and simulates normal use until they stop working. The null and alternative hypotheses used for the significance test are given by role="math" localid="1650625928506" H0:渭=5858 and Ha:渭>58The P-value for the resulting one-samplet-test is 0.035. Which of the following best describes what the P-value measures

(a) The probability that the new integrated circuit has the same life span as the current model is 0.035.

b) The probability that the test correctly rejects the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative hypothesis is 0.035.

(c) The probability that a single new integrated circuit will not last as long as one of the earlier circuits is 0.035.

(d) The probability of getting a sample statistic as far or farther from the null value if there really is no difference between the new and the old circuits is0.035.

Is wine good for your heart? A researcher from the University of California, San Diego, collected data on average per capita wine consumption and heart disease death rate in a random sample of 19 countries for which data were available. The following table displays the data.

(a) Is there statistically significant evidence of a negative linear relationship between wine consumption and heart disease deaths in the population of countries? Carry out an appropriate significance test at the 伪=0.05level.

(b) Calculate and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the slope 尾 of the population regression line.
