Chapter 8.1, Problem 47E
Highway Safety Exercises 41–50 are based on the following table, which shows crashworthiness ratings for several categories of motor vehicles.10 In all of these exercises, take X as the crash-test rating of a small car, Y as the crash-test rating for a small SUV, and so on, as shown in the table.
Overall Frontal Crash Test Rating | |||||
Number Tested | 3(Good) | 2(Acceptable) | 1(Marginal) | 0(Poor) | |
Small Cars, X | 16 | 1 | 11 | 2 | 2 |
Small SUVs, Y | 10 | 1 | 4 | 4 | 1 |
Medium SUVs, Z | 15 | 3 | 5 | 3 | 4 |
Passenger Vans, U | 13 | 3 | 0 | 3 | 7 |
Midsize Cars, V | 15 | 3 | 5 | 0 | 7 |
Large Cars, W | 19 | 9 | 5 | 3 | 2 |
Which of the six categories shown has the lowest probability of a Good rating?

A reputable medical research officer has claimed that, the situation is probably as a result of the ageing population of his State. The blood pressures, Y (mmHg), and Ages, X (years) of 10 hospital patients were sampled from Azenator State and summarized below.

Laughter is often called “the best medicine,” since studies have shown that laughter can reduce muscle tension and increase oxygenation of the blood. In the International Journal of Obesity (Jan. 2007), researchers at Vanderbilt University investigated the physiological changes that accompany laughter. Ninety subjects (18–34 years old) watched film clips designed to evoke laughter. During the laughing period, the researchers measured the heart rate (beats per minute) of each subject, with the following summary results: Mean = 73.5, Standard Deviation = 6. n=90 (we can treat this as a large sample and use z) It is well known that the mean resting heart rate of adults is 71 beats per minute. Based on the research on laughter and heart rate, we would expect subjects to have a higher heart beat rate while laughing.Construct 95% Confidence interval using z value.

MLB collects a wide variety of team and player statistics. Some of the statistics often used to evaluate pitching performance are as follows: • ERA: The average number of earned runs given up by the pitcher per nine innings. An earned run is any run that the opponent scores off a particular pitcher except for runs scored as a result of errors. • SO/IP: The average number of strikeouts per inning pitched. • HR/IP: The average number of home runs per inning pitched. • R/IP: The number of runs given up per inning pitched. The following data show values for these statistics for a random sample of 20 pitchers from the American League for one full season.
