A student runs an experiment with two carts on a low-friction track. As measured in the Earth reference frame, cart 1 (m = 0.48 kg ) moves from left to right at 1.0 m/s as the student walks along next to it at the same velocity. Let the +x direction be to the right.
a) What velocity v⃗ E2,i in the Earth reference frame must cart 2 (m = 0.16 kg ) have before the collision if, in the student's reference frame, cart 2 comes to rest right after the collision and cart 1 travels from right to left at 0.33 m/s?
b) What does the student measure for the momentum of the two-cart system?
c) What does a person standing in the Earth reference frame measure for the momentum of each cart before the collision?

A group of engineers perform an experiment to determine whether the fuel efficiency for a new type of engine for an oilfield drill is better than the most commonly used type of engine in existing oilfields. The engineers perform a 2–sample t–test and obtain a p-value of 0.04.
(i) Briefly explain what a p–value of 0.04 means (i.e. what does the p–value actually represent).
(ii) Explain what a Type II error would mean in the context of this problem.

A factorial experiment was designed to test for any significant differences in the time needed to perform English to foreign language translations with two computerized language translators. Because the type of language translated was also considered a significant factor, translations were made with both systems for three different languages: Spanish, French, and German. Use the following data for translation time in hours.
| Language | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Spanish | French | German | |
| System 1 | 8 | 10 | 12 |
| 12 | 14 | 16 | |
| System 2 | 6 | 14 | 16 |
| 10 | 16 | 22 | |
Test for any significant differences due to language translator, type of language, and interaction. Use α = 0.05.

Find the p-value for language translator. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
p-value =
State your conclusion about language translator.
Because the p-value ≤ α = 0.05, language translator is significant.Because the p-value ≤ α = 0.05, language translator is not significant. Because the p-value > α = 0.05, language translator is not significant.Because the p-value > α = 0.05, language translator is significant.
Find the value of the test statistic for type of language. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Find the p-value for type of language. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
p-value =
State your conclusion about type of language.
Because the p-value > α = 0.05, type of language is not significant.Because the p-value ≤ α = 0.05, type of language is not significant. Because the p-value > α = 0.05, type of language is significant.Because the p-value ≤ α = 0.05, type of language is significant.
Find the value of the test statistic for interaction between language translator and type of language. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Find the p-value for interaction between language translator and type of language. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
p-value =
State your conclusion about interaction between language translator and type of language.
Because the p-value > α = 0.05, interaction between language translator and type of language is not significant.Because the p-value ≤ α = 0.05, interaction between language translator and type of language is not significant. Because the p-value ≤ α = 0.05, interaction between language translator and type of language is significant.Because the p-value > α = 0.05, interaction between language translator and type of language is significant.

An experiment was conducted to see the effectiveness of two
antidotes to three different doses of a toxin. The antidote was
given to a different sample of participants five minutes after the
toxin. Twenty-five minutes later the response was measured as the
concentration in the blood. What can the researchers conclude with
an α of 0.05?

An experiment is planned where an automatic lab would be sent to the surface of Saturn. If there was life in Saturn, the probability that the lab detects it and correctly reports the finding is 0.5. If there never was life on Saturn, the probability that the lab will erroneously indicate the presence of life is 0.45. Suppose that a fair assessment of the probability that life was ever present on Saturn is 0.1.
(a) Find the probability that the lab says that there was life on Saturn.
(b) If the lab says that there was life on Saturn, what is the probability that the lab is correct (that is, that indeed there was life in Saturn)?
