A trucking company wants to find out if their drivers are still alert after driving long hours. So, they give a test for alertness to two groups of drivers. They give the test to 400 drivers who have just finished driving 4 hours or less and they give the test to 585 drivers who have just finished driving 8 hours or more. The results of the tests are given below.

                                                Passed       Failed
Drove 4 hours or less                 310    90
Drove 8 hours or more               415    170

Is there is a relationship between hours of driving and alertness? (Do a test for independence.) Test at the 1 % level of significance.

An astronaut wants to find out his mass while in orbit, to find out if he is staying healthy while in space. Since he can't use a bathroom scale (why not?), he attaches himself to a spring (k=2500 N/m), pulls himself back from the spring's equil length by 5 m, and times one oscillation to take 1 s. a.) What is the mass of the astronaut? ________ kg b.) Find the potential energy stored in the spring when it is...

The maintenance manager at a trucking company wants to build a regression model to forecast the time (in years) until the first engine overhaul based on four explanatory variables: (1) annual miles driven (in 1,000s of miles), (2) average load weight (in tons), (3) average driving speed (in mph), and (4) oil change interval (in 1,000s of miles). Based on driver logs and onboard computers, data have been obtained for a sample of 25 trucks. A portion of the data...
