A fitness company is building a 20-story high-rise. Architects building the high-rise know that women working for the company have weights that are normally distributed with a mean of 143 lb and a standard deviation of 29 lb, and men working for the company have weights that are normally distributed with a mean of 165 lb and a standard deviation or 32 lb. You need to design an elevator that will safely carry 15 people. Assuming a worst case scenario of 15 male passengers, find the maximum total allowable weight if we want to a 0.98 probability that this maximum will not be exceeded when 15 males are randomly selected.

Air pollution control specialists in southern California monitor the amount of ozone, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide in the air on an hourly basis. The hourly time series data exhibit seasonality, with the levels of pollutants showing similar patterns over the hours in the day. On July 15,16 and 17, the observed level of nitrogen dioxide in a city�s downtown area for the 12 hours from 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. were as follows. 15-July 25, 28, 35, 50, 60, 60, 40, 35, 30, 25, 25, 20 16-July 28, 30, 35, 48, 60, 65, 50, 40, 35, 25, 20, 20 17-July 35, 42, 45, 70, 72, 75, 60, 45, 40, 25, 25, 25 a. Construct a time series plot. What type of pattern exists in the data? b. Use a multiple linear regression model with dummy variables as follows to develop an equation to account for seasonal effects in the data: Hour 1 = 1 if the reading was made between 6 am and 7 am; 0 otherwise Hour 2 = 1 if the reading was made between 7 am and 8 am; 0 otherwise Hour 3 = 1 if the reading was made between 8 am and 9 am; 0 otherwise Hour 4 = 1 if the reading was made between 9 am and 10 am; 0 otherwise continue this pattern until Hour 11 = 1 if the reading was made between 4 pm and 5 pm' 0 otherwise Note that when the values of the 11 dummy variables are equal to 0, the observation corresponds to the 5 pm to 6 pm hour. c. using the equation developed in part (b), compute estimates of the levels of nitrogen dioxide for July 18 d. Let t = 1 to refer to the observation in hour 1 on July 15; t = 2 to refer to the observation in hour 2 of July 15 ..., and t = 36 to refer to the observation in hour 12 of July 17. using dummy variables devined in part (b) and t, develop an equation to account for seasonal effects and any linear trend in the time series. Based upon the seasonal effects in the data and linear trend, compute estimates of the levels of nitrogen dioxide for July 18 I only need the answer for part D. This is my 3rd time submitting for the same answer. Thanks.

Planned intermittent fasting may help to reverse type 2 diabetes, suggest doctors writing in the journal BMJ Case Reports after three patients in their care, who did this, were able to cut out the need for insulin treatment altogether.

Around one in 10 people in the US and Canada have type 2 diabetes, which is associated with other serious illness and early death. It is thought to cost the US economy alone US$245 billion a year.

Lifestyle changes are key to managing the disease, but by themselves can't always control blood glucose levels, and while bariatric surgery (a gastric band) is effective, it is not without risk, say the authors. Drugs can manage the symptoms, and help to stave off complications, but can't stop the disease in its tracks, they add.

Three men, aged between 40 and 67, tried out planned intermittent fasting to see if it might ease their symptoms. They were taking various drugs to control their disease as well as daily units of insulin. In addition to type 2 diabetes, they all had high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

Two of the men fasted on alternate days for a full 24 hours, while the third fasted for three days a week. On fast days they were allowed to drink very low calorie drinks, such as tea/coffee, water or broth, and to eat one very low calorie meal in the evening.

Before embarking on their fasting regime, they all attended a 6-hour long nutritional training seminar, which included information on how diabetes develops and its impact on the body; insulin resistance; healthy eating; and how to manage diabetes through diet, including therapeutic fasting.

They stuck to this pattern for around 10 months after which fasting blood glucose, average blood glucose (HbA1c), weight, and waist circumference were re-measured.

All three men were able to stop injecting themselves with insulin within a month of starting their fasting schedule. In one case this took only five days.

Two of the men were able to stop taking all their other diabetic drugs, while the third discontinued three out of the four drugs he was taking. They all lost weight (by 10-18%) as well as reducing their fasting and average blood glucose readings, which may help lower the risk of future complications, say the authors.

Feedback was positive, with all three men managing to stick to their dietary schedule without too much difficulty.

This is an observational study, and refers to just three cases-all in men. As such, it isn't possible to draw firm conclusions about the wider success or otherwise of this approach for treating type 2 diabetes.

"The use of a therapeutic fasting regimen for treatment of [type 2 diabetes] is virtually unheard of," write the authors. "This present case series showed that 24-hour fasting regimens can significantly reverse or eliminate the need for diabetic medication," they conclude.

use any data and answers those questions There are several stores that or businesses that set these types of goals. Would this tell us an overall average? For example lets just say the sales goal is 100,000 a month, this month 98,000 is sold that is clearly less than the goal. However is that what the test tells us? Or does it look at a long term average over several months? Why is it valuable to know if the results are statistically signficant?

Did Sales Reach Target Value?

            Business requires careful planning because storing goods is associated with the additional costs. Thus, business sets monthly revenue goals, and understanding if the sales have reached the monthly revenue goal is important. Let us take a retail chain, and suppose they have monthly revenues of the stores, and a certain goal revenue.

            In this case, the four-step hypothesis testing is as follows:

1) The null hypothesis suggests that the mean stores sale does not significantly differ from the goal value. The alternate hypothesis is opposite to null and it suggests that the difference between the mean stores sales and goal value is significantly different (Triola, 2015).

2) The decision rule is set according to the significance level. For this case, we can set the significance level 0.1 because we do not require the highest precision. Thus, if the significance of the calculated t-value exceeds 0.1, we do not have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis. Otherwise, we reject the null and accept the alternate hypothesis (Ott, Longnecker & Draper, 2016).

3) At this stage, we calculate the test statistics using mean value, goal revenue, standard deviation of the mean (s), and the number of observations (n):

                           t=(Mean-Goal)/s/square root of n

.

Also, we obtain the significance of this t-value from statistical tables or statistical software. Afterwards, we compare the value with the significance level (Triola, 2015).

            4) The final step is interpretation of the statistical test for the real life situation. If the test confirms the null hypothesis, this means that the mean stores sales are approximately equal to the goal value. If the null is rejected, then the store chain underperforms, which is an important information for the management (Black, 2017).

            Therefore, in this problem t-test was used as a support for the decision-making process in management. It provides a statistical background for sales analysis of the store chain and provides management with the valuable information about business (Black, 2017).

  There are several stores that or businesses that set these types of goals. Would this tell us an overall average? For example lets just say the sales goal is 100,000 a month, this month 98,000 is sold that is clearly less than the goal. However is that what the test tells us? Or does it look at a long term average over several months? Why is it valuable to know if the results are statistically signficant?
