Lake Vostok is Antarctica's largest and deepest subsurface lake. The mean depth of the lake is believed to be 344 meters. 25 random samples of the depth of this lake were obtained. Assume the underlying distribution is normal and σ = 30 meters. Please use 3 decimal places in all calculations. b) Find the probability of the Type II error if the true mean depth of the lake is Pa = 328 meters; that is, find B(328). Assume that a...

The initial temperature of the lake at the edge of the mountain glacier is 6.40'C, and the volume of water is 185,000m^3. There is iceberg which the mass is 17.3*10^6kg, temperature is -10'C. The iceberg fell and floated on the lake. If there is no energy exchange except between the lake and the iceberg, what is the final temperature of the lake and the iceberg? If there is remaining ice, how much ice is left?

The human body maintains its internal temperature through thermoregulation, and a healthy adult has a mean body temperature of 98.6 °F. The processes of thermoregulation begin to deteriorate in older age, making it difficult to diagnose elderly patients who might have an illness. To understand the body temperature of elderly patients, researchers randomly sampled the body temperatures of elderly patients from a large database of medical records where the body temperatures were normally distributed. Conduct a two‑tailed, one‑sample ?t‑test to...
