Select one:

a. 1 sample z-test

b. testing for two proportions

c. 2 sample t-test.

d. 1 sample t-test

Drag measurements were taken for a 5 cm diameter sphere in water at 20 °C to predict the drag force of a 1 m diameter balloon rising in air with standard temperature and pressure. Given kinematic viscosity of water (v) = 1.0 X 10-6 m2/s and kinematic viscosity of air (v) = 1.46 X 10-5 m2/s. Perform the Buckingham Pi theorem to generate a relationship for FD as a function of the independent variables. Assume the drag FD is a...

In a calibration test, 50 measurements were taken of a laboratory gas sample that is known to have a CO concentration of 70 parts per million (ppm). A measurement is considered to be satisfactory if it is within 5 ppm of the true concentration. Of the 50 measurements, 37 were satisfactory. [5 + 10 points] (a) Suppose it is desirable to estimate the population proportion of satisfactory measurement within ±0.03, how big a sample of measurements should be? (b) Without...
