Question 1:
There have been many studies that suggest global climate change is affecting the population of polar bears. One measure of the health of a polar bear population is weight, and the mean weight for a male polar bear is approximately 900 pounds with population
deviation 78 pounds. A recent study suggests that the polar bears in the Chukchi Sea are
doing very well despite changes in the climate. A random sample of 14 male polar bears
from the Chukchi Sea was obtained. The sample mean weight was 1016 pounds. Assume
the underlying weight distribution of polar bears is normal.


a. Suppose we wish to perform a significance test with Ha : µ > 900, what is your decision
at the significance level of 0.01?


b. What is your decision at the significance levle of 0.05 and 0.001 respectively?


d. In part a, what is the type I error rate α?


e. In part a, if the true population mean is 1000 pounds, what is the type II error rate
β?

Solutions

Expert Solution

A to D has been solved.

a. Suppose we wish to perform a significance test with Ha : µ > 900, what is your decision at the significance level of 0.01

b. What is your decision at the significance levle of 0.05 and 0.001 respectively?

At the level of significance of 0.05 and 0.001, we still reject the null hypothesis since the pvalue is less than the level of significance.

d. In part a, what is the type I error rate α?

It is equal to the level of significance 0.01

Ocean currents are important in studies of climate change, as well as ecology studies of dispersal of plankton. Drift bottles are used to study ocean currents in the Pacific near Hawaii, the Solomon Islands, New Guinea, and other islands. Let x represent the number of days to recovery of a drift bottle after release and y represent the distance from point of release to point of recovery in km/100. The following data are representative of one study using drift bottles...

Climate Change will have a disproportionate impact on developing countries. Many economists have proposed a tax on carbon on other greenhouse gases (generally referred to as a “carbon tax”). a) Why do economists favor such a tax? What are the limitations of such a tax? b) Suppose a carbon tax is not politically feasible. Design an alternative policy, or set of policies, to lower greenhouse gas emissions. c) Do you think your proposal is politically and economically feasible?
