11. Sweet corn of a certain variety is known to produce individual ears of corn with a mean weight of 8 ounces. A farmer is testing a new fertilizer designed to produce larger ears of corn, as measured by their weight. He selects a random sample of 10 ears of corn and determines their weight (in ounces). The data are as follows: 8.25 7.35 9.05 8.00 8.25 8.75 9.00 7.60 8.45 8.55 Do the data provide convincing evidence at the a= 0.05 level that the fertilizer had a positive impact on the weight of the corn ears?

A medical researcher randomly assigns 100 high-risk heart patients into two groups. One group will get open heart surgery and the other groups will get a transcatheter aortic valve replacement. She will compare the two groups to see how long they live after their procedures. What statistical test should she use to analyze the data? a. Chi Square Goodness of Fit Test b. Correlation c. One sample t-test d. Independent Samples t-test e. Factorial ANOVA
A New York Times article titled For Runners, Soft Ground Can Be Hard on the Body considered two perspectives on whether runners should stick to hard surfaces or soft surfaces following an injury. One position supported running on soft surfaces to relieve joints that were in recovery from injury. The second position supported running on hard surfaces since soft surfaces can be uneven, which may make worse those injuries a soft surface was intended to help. Suppose we are given sufficient funds to run an experiment to study this topic. With no studies to support either position, which of the following hypotheses would be appropriate? The first position is more sensible, so this should be a one-sided test. In this case, we should form the alternative hypothesis around the second position. The second position makes the more sense, so this should be a one-sided test. In this case, we should form the alternative hypothesis around the first position. Because we would be interested in any…
A random sample of soil specimens was obtained, and the amount of organic matter (%) in the soil was determined for each specimen, resulting in the accompanying data. 1.18 5.09 0.97 1.59 4.60 0.32 0.55 1.45 0.17 4.47 1.20 3.50 5.02 4.67 5.22 2.69 3.92 3.17 3.03 2.21 0.69 4.47 3.31 1.17 0.70 1.17 1.57 2.62 1.66 2.05 The values of the sample mean, sample standard deviation, and (estimated) standard error of the mean are 2.481, 1.612, and 0.294, respectively. Does this data suggest that the true average percentage of organic matter in such soil is something other than 3%? Carry out a test of the appropriate hypotheses at significance level 0.10. [Note: A normal probability plot of the data shows an acceptable pattern in light of the reasonably large sample size.] State the appropriate hypotheses.

Suppose the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) wants to examine the safety of compact cars, midsize cars, and full-size cars. It collects a sample of three for each of the treatments (cars types). Using the hypothetical data provided below, test whether the mean pressure applied to the driver's head during a crash test is equal for each types of car. Use a = 0.05, ssw=6300 and SST=6350. 1) The null and the alternative hypotheses are : a) Ho: H1 = H2 = Hg. H: At most one of uj:j = 1,2,3 is different. H : At least one of u;:j = 1,2,3 is different.
