Modern medical practice tells us not to encourage babies to become too fat. Is there a positive correlation between the weight x of a 1-year-old baby and the weight y of the mature adult (30 years old)? A random sample of medical files produced the following information for 14 female subjects: X(lb)| 21 25 23 24 20 15 25 21 17 24 26 22 18 19 y (lb) 125 125 120 125 130 120 145 130 130 130 130 140...

Bighorn sheep are beautiful wild animals found throughout the western United States. Let x be the age of a bighorn sheep (in years), and let y be the mortality rate (percent that die) for this age group. For example, x = 1, y = 14 means that 14% of the bighorn sheep between 1 and 2 years old died. A random sample of Arizona bighorn sheep gave the following information: x 1 2 3 4 5 y 15.8 19.3 14.4...

A common characterization of obese individuals is that their body mass index is at least 30 (BMI = weight/Cheight), where height is in meters and weight is in kilograms). An article reported that in a sample of female workers, 266 had BMIs of less than 25, 157 had BMIs that were at least 25 but less than 30, and 122 had BMIs exceeding 30. Is there compelling evidence for concluding that more than 20% of the individuals in the sampled...
7. Do heavier cars really use more gasoline? Suppose a car is chosen at random. Let x be the weight of the car (in hundreds of pounds), and let y be the miles per gallon (mpg) At the 5% level of significance, test the claim is that heavier cars use more gasoline. Remember that a claim of correlation would be that X 29 46 29 47 23 40 34 52 Y 30 21 22 14 29 27 22 34 a....
