(t Test (in Excel) for Two Samples with Unequal Variances) In an agricultural experiment, the effects of two fertilizers on the production of oranges were measured. Fourteen randomly selected plots of land were treated with fertilizer A, and 10 randomly selected plots were treated with fertilizer B. The number of pounds of harvested fruit was measured from each plot. Following are the results. Fertilizer A Fertilizer B 448, 478,482, 442,455, 480 ,457, 506, 436,478,453,489,400,444,495,438,481,501 470,444, 466, 427, 461, 431 Assume that the populations are approximately normal. Can you conclude that there is a difference in the mean yields for the two types of fertilizer? Use the α = 0.01 level of significance. Use Excel to perform the hypothesis test.

Do larger universities tend to have more property crime? University crime statistics are affected by a variety of factors. The surrounding community, accessibility given to outside visitors, and many other factors influence crime rate. Let x be a variable that represents student enrollment (in thousands) on a university campus, and let y be a variable that represents the number of burglaries in a year on the university campus. A random sample of n = 8 universities in California gave the following information about enrollments and annual burglary incidents.x 12.3 28.6 24.5 14.3 7.5 27.7 16.2 20.1y 23 72 39 23 15 30 15 25 a) Compute r.
