In a study on air pollution carried out
by an experimental station, we obtained the following amounts of soluble benzene, suspended in
organic in micrograms per m3
, in different samples
of air:
2.28, 1.9, 3.32, 2.68, 2.57, 2.57, 0.928, 1.22
Assuming that the sampled population is approximately normal, construct a confidence interval at the level
90% for the corresponding real average.

A study was carried out to determine whether the resistance of a control circuit in a machine is lower when the machine motor is running. To investigate this question, some of the control circuits were tested as follows. Their resistance was measured while the machine motor was not running and then again while the motor was running for a certain period of time. The values found are listed in ‘Dataset’, with kilo-Ohms as the unit of measurement. Answer the following...

Warren works for the Air Pollution Study at the University of Houston, and studies the correlation between air pollution and the disease atherosclerosis. Nationally, 40% of adults suffer from atherosclerosis. Warren suspects that the proportion of people with atherosclerosis in high-pollution areas is higher. In a SRS of 300 residents of high-pollution areas, he finds that 140 subjects have atherosclerosis. At the 1% significance level, is this good evidence that people in high-pollution areas are more likely to have atherosclerosis?...
