Cape Wind Associates is trying to build a wind farm in Nantucket Sound,
off of Cape Cod. They’ve claimed that half of the people on Cape Cod want the wind
farm, but I don’t believe the proportion is that high. So I took a random sample of 588
Cape Cod residents and found that only 270 want the wind farm. Test to see who is
correct: me or Cape Wind?

Read the summaries and analyses of both sides about the Cape Wind project. If the decision was in your hands, would you approve the project? Why or why not? Do you believe this level of controversy is unique to Cape Wind, or is it a preview of the challenges future wind projects will face? can access imformation on google or books?

Maryland is trying to build new off-shore windmills to generate power. Estimates of their production assume that the wind in that area will be approximately Normally distributed with a mean speed of 55 knots and a standard deviation of 17 knots. Assuming these are the correct population mean and population standard deviation, If we take 20 measurements, what is the probability that the mean windspeed during those measurements is between 50 and 58 knots?

Assume a wind farm developer spent millions of dollars constructing wind turbines on land outside Mountain . Adjacent residents filed a lawsuit complaining that they never consented to the loud noise and visual obstructions of the turbine. The Mayor of Mountain proposes that the city place a tax on the turbines with the hope that will generate some much-needed revenue for the city and reduce the quantity of turbines. Verbally discuss and graphically demonstrate the problem created by the turbines....

Suppose an electric utility is considering whether to install a wind farm with 30 megawatts (mw) of capacity or a natural gas generator that would produce the same amount of annual electricity. An engineering study showed that the site for the wind farm would produce a load factor of 25 percent. (Actual generation would be 25 percent of capacity on average over the course of a year.) The natural gas plant could be operated with a load factor of 50...

Jet Li Berhad (JLB) has built an offshore wind farm with the purpose of testing the efficiency of its prototype wind turbines. JLB has applied to the authority for approval for production of its new prototype but has only received permission to test the prototype wind turbine. The wind farm development will enable JLB to test the reliability of the new wind turbines which should assist in developing more efficient and cost effective offshore wind turbines but as yet, there...
