In this problem, assume that the distribution of differences is approximately normal. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value by a small amount and therefore produce a slightly more "conservative" answer. The western United States has a number of four-lane interstate highways that cut through long tracts of wilderness. To prevent car accidents with wild animals, the highways are bordered on both sides with 12-foot-high woven wire fences. Although the fences prevent accidents, they also disturb the winter migration pattern of many animals. To compensate for this disturbance, the highways have frequent wilderness underpasses designed for exclusive use by deer, elk, and other animals. In Colorado, there is a large group of deer that spend their summer months in a region on one side of a highway and survive the winter months in a lower region on the other side. To…

A farmer wants to see if a new kind of fertilizer can help him grow better fruits. He prepares two separate plots of land and adds the fertilizer in one of those only. After a month he measure the weights of the fruits in each plot. Here are the results: plot 1 (no fertilizer) plot2 (fertilizer) sample mean Ino fert. = 3.5 Tfert. = 3.8 %3D sample standard deviation Sno fert. = 0.8 Sfert. 0.9 sample size Nno fert. = 120 Nfert. 110 Should this farmer invest in fertilizers? That is, is the mean weight of fruits significantly higher for the plot with fertilizer compared to the plot without it at the a = 0.1 level. What is the critical value for this test?
