The composition of the earth’s atmosphere may have changed over time. One attempt to discover the nature of the atmosphere long ago studies the gas trapped in bubbles inside ancient amber. Amber is tree resin that has hardened and been trapped in rocks. The gas in bubbles within amber should be a sample of the atmosphere at the time the amber was formed. Measurement on specimens of amber from the late Cretaceous era (75 to 95 million years ago) gives...

To try to determine whether the composition of the earth’s atmosphere has changed over time, scientists can examine the gas in bubbles trapped inside ancient amber.  (That’s the plot of Jurassic Park.) Assume that the following 9 measures are a random sample from the late Cretaceous era (75 to 95 million years ago). The data represent the percent of nitrogen in each sample. 63.4     65.0     64.4     63.3     54.8     64.5     60.8     49.1     51.0 You asked to conduct a hypothesis test to determine whether the mean is less than 61. 1....

1)Two newly discovered planets follow circular orbits around a star in a distant part of the galaxy. The orbital speeds of the planets are determined to be 39.7 km/s and 53.7 km/s. The slower planet's orbital period is 8.02 years. (a) What is the mass of the star? (b) What is the orbital period of the faster planet, in years? 2)Two satellites are in circular orbits around the earth. The orbit for satellite A is at a height of 461...
