An experiment was conducted to study growth characteristics of 8 different provenances (regions of natural occurrence) of Gmelina arborea (a tree native to southern Asia). There are three plots available for planting, so one tree of each provenance is planted in each plot. The response variable is the diameter of each tree (in centimeters) at breast height (1.4 meters above ground).

What type of design is being used in this experiment?

Perform the appropriate analysis to evaluate the differences in mean diameter at breast height of the eight provenances.

Which provenance(s), if any, has (have) largest mean diameter at breast height?

Comment on the effectiveness of the design in increasing the efficiency of the experiment.

The manager of a computer retails store is concerned that his suppliers have been giving him laptop computers with lower than average quality. His research shows that replacement times for the model laptop of concern are normally distributed with a mean of 4 years and a standard deviation of 0.4 years. He then randomly selects records on 49 laptops sold in the past and finds that the mean replacement time is 3.8 years.

Assuming that the laptop replacement times have a mean of 4 years and a standard deviation of 0.4 years, find the probability that 49 randomly selected laptops will have a mean replacement time of 3.8 years or less.
P(M < 3.8 years) =  
Enter your answer as a number accurate to 4 decimal places. NOTE: Answers obtained using exact z-scores or z-scores rounded to 3 decimal places are accepted.

Based on the result above, does it appear that the computer store has been given laptops of lower than average quality?

  • Yes. The probability of this data is unlikely to have occurred by chance alone.
  • No. The probability of obtaining this data is high enough to have been a chance occurrence.

      With reference to equations (4.2) and (4.3), let Z1 = U1 and Z2 = U2 be independent, standard normal variables. Consider the polar coordinates of the point (Z1, Z2), that is,

A2 = Z2 + Z2

and   φ = tan1(Z2/Z1).

1         2

(a)    Find the joint density of A2 and φ, and from the result, conclude that A2 and φ are independent random variables, where A2 is a chi-

squared random variable with 2 df, and φ is uniformly distributed on (π, π).

(b)    Going in reverse from polar coordinates to rectangular coordinates, suppose we assume that A2 and φ are independent random variables, where A2 is chi-squared with 2 df, and φ is uniformly distributed

on (π, π). With Z1 = A cos(φ) and Z2 = A sin(φ), where A is the

positive square root of A2, show that Z1 and Z2 are independent,

standard normal random variables.

Part 2. As a school nutritionist, you are also interested in tracking whether or not children are getting enough calcium in their diet. It is recommended that teenagers consume at least 1,300mg per day of calcium. Assume the average teenager in your school consumes 1,200mg, with a SD of 400mg. 5. Calculate the mean of the sampling distribution for average calcium consumed 6. Calculate the standard error of the mean of that sampling distribution (for samples of 30) 7. Calculate the Z-score associated with 1,300mg of calcium in your sampling distribution 8. For samples of 30 teenagers per class, what is the probability a class average for calcium consumption will fall below the recommended 1,300mg? (Write as decimal, not percentage)

Provide two real-world survey questions that would be useful to you in a professional application or in your everyday life by addressing the following:

(i) Your first should be a question associated with a categorical (qualitative) variable. Explain the measuring scale associated with the question and if the data collected is cross-sectional or time series. What might you be able to infer about the data you would collect?

(ii) Your second should be a question associated with a quantitative variable. Explain the measuring scale associated with the question. Also, determine whether the variable associated with the survey question is discrete or continuous and if the data collected is cross-sectional or time series. What might you be able to infer about the data you would collect?

Be sure to support your statements with logic and argument, citing any sources referenced. Post your initial response early, and check back often to continue the discussion. Be sure to respond to your peers and instructors posts, as well.

The table shows the 2013 per capita total expenditure on health in 35 countries with the highest gross domestic product in that year. Health expenditure per capita is the sum of public and private heath expenditure (in PPP, international $) divided by population. Health expenditures include the provision of health services, family‑planning activities, nutrition activities, and emergency aid designated for health but exclude the provision of water and sanitation.

As such, the final conclusion is that...

  • There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the population mean is less than 52.5.
  • There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the population mean is less than 52.5.
  • The sample data support the claim that the population mean is less than 52.5.
