Have you ever been frustrated because you could not get a container of some sort to release the last bit of its contents? An article reported on an investigation of this issue for various consumer products. Suppose five 6.0 oz tubes of toothpaste of a particular brand are randomly selected and squeezed until no more toothpaste will come out. Then each tube is cut open and the amount remaining is weighed, resulting in the following data: 0.51, 0.63, 0.42, 0.5, 0.35. Does it appear that the true average amount left is less than 10% of the advertised net contents? USE SALT (a) Check the validity of any assumptions necessary for testing the appropriate hypotheses.

Rothamsted Experimental Station (England) has studied wheat production since 1852. Each year many small plots of equal size but different soil/fertilizer conditions are planted with wheat. At the end of the growing season, the yield (in pounds) of the wheat on the plot is measured. Suppose for a random sample of years, one plot gave the following annual wheat production (in pounds): 3.81 2.97 5.19 3.40 3.05 2.40 4.35 3.00 4.89 5.23 3.37 4.00 3.84 5.42 5.09 5.03 For this plot, the sample variance is . Another random sample of years for a second plot gave the following annual wheat production (in pounds): 3.53 3.65 3.89 4.19 3.44 3.42 3.58 3.83 3.46 4.32 3.58 3.45 3.77 3.54 3.48 4.07 For this plot, the sample variance is . Test the claim using that the population variance of annual wheat production for the first plot is larger than that for the second plot. Find (or estimate) the P-value of the sample…
Consider the following two questions designed to assess quantitative literacy. 1. What is 15% of 1000? 2. A store is offering a 15% off sale on all TVs. The most popular television is normally priced at $1000. How much money would a customer save on the television during this sale? Suppose the first question is asked of 200 randomly selected college students, with 165 answering correctly; the second one is asked of a different random sample of 200 college students, resulting in 143 correct responses. Carry out a test of hypotheses at significance level 0.05 to decide if the true proportion of correct responses to the question without context exceeds that for the one with context. (Use p₁ for the true proportion students who answered the question without context correctly and p₂ for the true proportion of students who answered the question with context correctly.)
