(06.05 MC)  A food distributor conducts regular surveys of consumer spending on its products. The average weekly household spending (in dollars) on regular pasta and gluten-free pasta for each of 12 states was recorded. A scatterplot of spending on regular pasta versus gluten-free pasta is shown. Which of the following statements is true? (3 points)

The most important information to obtain in order to best answer a mother’s question about how much to feed her baby is:

The elastic beam theory is not used in the design of reinforced concrete beams because (1) the compressive stress-strain relationship for concrete becomes non-linear at higher strain values and (2) concrete cracks at low tensile stresses making it necessary to use reinforcing steel.

(01.02, 02.01, 06.02 MC) Scott is the owner of a tool and die shop. He has hired you to check his machine’s calibration prior to starting production on a large order. To check this, you set the machine to create 1.5 inch screws and manufacture a random sample of 200 screws. That sample of screws has an average length of 1.476 inches with a standard deviation of 0.203 inches.Does this sample provide convincing evidence that the machine is working properly or should it be shut down for repairs?

(05.04 MC)  A city is interested in building a public health clinic in a certain area. Two hundred randomly selected residents from this area were asked, “Do you support the city’s decision to build a public health clinic in your area?” Of the 200 residents interviewed, 108 said no, 8 said yes, and 84 had no opinion. A large-sample z-confidence interval, p̂ ± z * , was constructed from these data to estimate the proportion of the residents who support building a public health clinic in a certain area. Which of the following statements is correct for this confidence interval? (5 points)

A gluten is: 

According to the theory of flexure for reinforced concrete, the strain in the reinforcement is equal to the strain in the concrete at the same level.
