Problem 3. One method used to distinguish between granitic (G) and basaltic (B) rocks is to examine a portion of the infrared spectrum of the sun's energy reflected from the rock surface. Let R1, R2, and R3 denote measured spectrum intensities at three different wavelengths: Typically, for granite R₁ < R2 < R3, whereas for basalt R3

Use this equation to answer the following;A) How many murders per 100,000 residents can be expected in a state with 2.7 thousand automatic weapons?Answer = _________ Round to 3 decimal places.B) How many murders per 100,000 residents can be expected in a state with 4.1 thousand automatic weapons?Answer = ___________ Round to 3 decimal places.
Problem 3 The fuel economy of two small cars is being studied by driving 15 of each in different conditions and recording the fuel consumed. The resulting fuel economies, in litres/100 km, are as follows; Car A: 5.0 5.4 5.2 4.7 6.1 5.6 5.1 5.1 4.8 5.6 5.3 4.3 5.8 5.2 4.8 Car B: 5.7 6.1 4.7 5.2 5.3 5.7 5.6 5.3 6.7 5.8 6.2 5.6 5.6 6.2 5.7 For each car, compute, by hand, a) the sample mean, b) the sample standard deviation, and c) the sample median of the fuel economy. d) Use MINITAB to produce parallel boxplots. e) Based on the results in a)-d), which car do you think performs better? Why? (Here, you will only be expected to give your best opinion. Later, we will investigate more formal approaches to answering this question.)

Use this equation to answer the following; Special Note: I suggest you verify this equation by performing linear regression on your calculator. Use the equation with the values rounded to two decimal places to make your predictions.A) How many murders per 100,000 residents can be expected in a state with 9.8 thousand automatic weapons?Answer = Round to 3 decimal places.B) How many murders per 100,000 residents can be expected in a state with 10.1 thousand automatic weapons?Answer = Round to 3 decimal places.
Question 4: Rivers in North Carolina contain small concentrations of mercury that can accumulate in fish over their lifetimes. The concentration of mercury in fish tissue can be obtained by catching fish and sending samples to a lab for analysis. A study was conducted on fish from the Waccamaw and Lumber Rivers to investigate mercury levels in tissues of largemouth bass. At several stations along each river a group of fish were caught, weighed and measured; in addition a filet from each fish was sent to a lab so that the tissue concentration of mercury could be determined. In all, 171 fish were caught at 15 different research stations along the Waccamaw and Lumber Rivers. Data from fish caught at one of these stations is shown in the following table: length weight 1616 47.0 1862 48.7 2855 55.7 1199 45.2 1320 44.7 1225 43.8 870 38.5 1455 45.8 1220 44.0 1033 40.4 Compute the correlation between length and weight for these fish.

Problem 1. During your spring break you decided to take a fishing trip. You caught and released two different types of bass. For each fish, you recorded its weight as in the following table. Florida Bass Weight in lbs. 6.8 7.2 12.6 10.5 7.4 13.1 11.4 6.9 6.8 12.9 Northern Bass Weight in lbs. 6.5 7.2 6.7 6.2 8.3 6.4 8.2 12.2 10.8 6.8 Assume that weights of both the Florida bass and the Northern bass are normally distributed. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim of a biologist that the mean weight of the Florida bass is different from the mean weight of the Northern bass. Use the following steps: Step 1.

Question 4 A country club wants to exam the effects of a new marketing campaign that attempts to get more people within the community to become members. In many communities, when people buy a house in the area, they receive a “Welcome Wagon” gift basket containing coupons to local restaurants. The idea of the marketing campaign is to include a free two month membership to the country club in the gift basket with the hope that once “new” residents try the country club then at least a certain proportion will want to become real members. One member of the Club’s Executive Council believes that at least 25% of the people who receive the coupons for the free membership will use the coupon. When testing the hypothesis that at least 25% of the people who receive the coupons for the free membership will use the coupon, what is the null and alternative hypothesis?
