Percent of Section II grade7531 The Earths Moon has many impact craters that were created when the inner solar system was subjected to heavy bom

2、bardment of small celestial bodies. Scientists studied 11 impact craters on the Moon to determine whether there was any relationship between the age of the craters (based on radioactive dating of lunar rocks) and the impact rate (as deduced from the density of the craters). The data are displayed in

3、 the scatterplot below.4(a) Describe the nature of the relationship between impact rate and age.5Prior to fitting a linear regression model, the researchers transformed both impact rate and age by using logarithms. The following computer output and residual plot were produced.6(b) Interpret the valu

Recently, some students have been complaining about the quality of the f

5、ood served there. The dining hall manager decided to do a survey to estimate the proportion of students living in the dormitories who think that the quality of the food should be improved. One evening, the manager asked the first 100 students entering the dining hall to answer the following question

6、.8(a) In this setting, explain how bias may have been introduced based on the way this convenience sample was selected and suggest how the sample could have been selected differently to avoid that bias.(b) In this setting, explain how bias may have been introduced based on the way the question was w

7、orded and suggest how it could have been worded differently to avoid that bias. 9Trains carry bauxite ore from a mine in Canada to an aluminum processing plant in northern New York state in hopper cars. Filling equipment is used to load ore into the hopper cars. When functioning properly, the actual

8、 weights of ore loaded into each car by the filling equipment at the mine are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 70 tons and a standard deviation of 0.9 ton. If the mean is greater than 70 tons, the loading mechanism is overfilling.10(a) If the filling equipment is functioning properl

9、y, what is the probability that the weight of the ore in a randomly selected car will be 70.7 tons or more? Show your work.(b) Suppose that the weight of ore in a randomly selected car is 70.7 tons. Would that fact make you suspect that the loading mechanism is overfilling the cars? Justify your ans

10、wer.(c) If the filling equipment is functioning properly, what is the probability that a random sample of 10 cars will have a mean ore weight of 70.7 tons or more? Show your work.(d) Based on your answer in part (c), if a random sample of 10 cars had a mean ore weight of 70.7 tons, would you suspect

11、 that the loading mechanism was overfilling the cars? Justify your answer.114. The principal at Crest Middle School, which enrolls only sixth-grade students and seventh-grade students, is interested in determining how much time students at that school spend on homework each night. The table below sh

12、ows the mean and standard deviation of the amount of time spent on homework each night (in minutes) for a random sample of 20 sixth-grade students and a separate random sample of 20 seventh-grade students at this school.12Based on dotplots of these data, it is not unreasonable to assume that the dis

13、tribution of times for each grade were approximately normally distributed.(a) Estimate the difference in mean times spent on homework for all sixth- and seventh-grade students in this school using an interval. Be sure to interpret your interval.13(b) An assistant principal reasoned that a much narro

14、wer confidence interval could be obtained if the students were paired based on their responses; for example, pairing the sixth-grade student and the seventh-grade student with the highest number of minutes spent on homework, the sixth-grade student and seventh-grade student with the next highest num

15、ber of minutes spent on homework, and so on. Is the assistant principal correct in thinking that matching students in this way and then computing a matched-pairs confidence interval for the mean difference in time spent on homework is a better procedure than the one used in part (a) ? Explain why or

16、 why not.145. A researcher thinks that modern Thai dogs may be descendants of golden jackals. A random sample of 16 animals was collected from each of the two populations. The length (in millimeters) of the mandible (jawbone) was measured for each animal. The lower quartile, median, and upper quarti

17、le for each sample are shown in the table below, along with all values below the lower quartile and all values above the upper quartile.15(a) Display parallel boxplots of mandible lengths (showing outliers, if any) for the modern Thai dogs and the golden jackals on the grid below.16Based on the boxp

18、lots, write a few sentences comparing the distributions of mandible lengths for the two types of dogs.(b) Is it reasonable to use the sample of mandible lengths of modern Thai dogs to construct an interval estimate of the mean mandible length for the population of modern Thai dogs? Justify your answ

(Note: You do not have to compute the interval.)(c) Is it reasonable to use the sample data of mandible lengths of modern Thai dogs and the sample data of mandible lengths of golden jackals to perform a two-sample f-test for the difference in mean mandible lengths for the two types of dogs? Just

Percent of Section II grade25186. In order to monitor the populations of birds of a particular speci

21、es on two islands, the following procedure was implemented.Researchers captured an initial sample of 200 birds of the species on Island A; they attached leg bands to each of the birds, and then released the birds. Similarly, a sample of 250 birds of the same species on Island B was captured, banded,

22、 and released. Sufficient time was allowed for the birds to return to their normal routine and location.Subsequent samples of birds of the species of interest were then taken from each island. The number of birds captured and the number of birds with leg bands were recorded. The results are summariz

24、he banded birds on these two islands? Give statistical evidence to support your answer.20(b) Researchers can estimate the total number of birds of this species on an island by using information on the number of birds in the initial sample and the proportion of banded birds in the subsequent sample.

25、Use this information to estimate the total number of birds of this species on Island A. Show your work.(c) The analyses in parts (a) and (b) assume that the samples of birds captured in both the initial and subsequent samples can be regarded as random samples of the population of birds of this speci

A study of the suds heights for a new dish detergent was conducted. Seven pans of water were prepared. All pans were of the

33、same size and type and contained the same amount of water. The temperature of the water was the same for each pan.
