Body fat and lean body mass can be estimated in living animals by measuring the total body electrical conductivity (TOBEC). This technique is useful when attempting to determine if "diet drugs" are working on laboratory rats over time – the researchers need not sacrifice the animals to measure the amount of adipose body fat after periods of drug usage. However, the procedure requires that the animal be totally inside the measurement chamber, which is fairly small. Some, but not all the rats were so big that their tails had to be tucked under their bodies before putting them into the measurement chamber. This is causing concern among the researchers, because there is a possibility the tail position might alter the measurements. To see if the TOPIC measurement is altered by the tail position of the rats, an experiment is run on 16 rats ranging in weight from 210 to 505 g.
The rats were randomly assigned the order of measurement, with 8 rats measured in the tail-under position first, and 8 rats in the tail-extended position. The data for the lean mass measures are in the table below.
TOBEC Measures of Lean Mass (g)

193.5 203.9
200.3 215.8
211.4 228.5
231.1 241.0
249.1 259.4
266.4 270.2
274.8 282.6
277.5 276.9
276.4 286.5
275.6 291.8
300.7 303.5
300.0 306.7
303.6 303.7
305.6 316.8
302.4 296.1
354.2 356.1
a. Test the hypothesis that there is no difference between the population mean TOBEC measurements of rats in the tail-under vs. the tail-extended positions. Conduct hypothesis test using α = .05.

Jason jumped off of a cliff into the ocean in acapulco while vacationing with some friends. his height above ocean measured in feet as a function of time could be modeled by the h(t) = -16t2 + 16t + 480, where t is the time in seconds from jumping off. how high is the cliff in feet?
