An article reports the following values for soil heat flux of eight plots covered with coal dust. 37.3 36.8 37.3 32.1 33.4 26.5 18.1 24.8 The mean soil heat flux for plots covered only with grass is 29.0. Assuming that the heat-flux distribution is approximately normal, does the data suggest that the coal dust is effective in increasing the mean heat flux over that for grass? Test the appropriate hypotheses using α = 0.05. Calculate the test statistic and determine the P-value. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to three decimal places.)

Please solve the following problem and show all work. Thank you! You are a field engineer working for Far North Arctic Insulates Inc. Your company has come up with a new insulation material to be used under road beds to keep the permafrost from warming during the summer months. Since this material is quite costly, you want to be able to use the least amount of material (i.e. smallest thickness possible). You have collected the following temperature data in degrees-Fahrenheit)...

The article "Uncertainty Estimation in Railway Track Life-Cycle Cost"† presented the following data on time to repair (min) a rail break in the high rail on a curved track of a certain railway line. 159 120 480 149 270 547 340 43 228 202 240 218 A normal probability plot of the data shows a reasonably linear pattern, so it is plausible that the population distribution of repair time is at least approximately normal. The sample mean and standard deviation are 249.7 and 145.1, respectively. (a) Is there compelling evidence for...
