At a local county collectors’ meeting, thirteen numismatists presented an average of 12.7 items with a standard deviation of 2.4. Nine philatelists presented an average of 10.9 items each with a standard deviation of 4.6. At the 0.05 level of significance, can a difference in variances be concluded? What is the critical value?

Humerus bones from the same species of animal have approximately the same length-to-width ratios. It is known that Species A has a mean ratio of 5.9. Suppose that 100 fossil humerus bones were unearthed at a site where Species A is known to have flourished. (We assume that all bones are from the same species.) The length-to-width ratios of these bones have a sample mean 5.6 and sample standard deviation 0.25. Can we conclude that the mean ratio of these bones is significantly smaller than those of Species A? Test with a 0.01 significance level. What is the standard error?
It is believed that nearsightedness affects 14% of children in a certain region. A school district tests the vision of 180 incoming kindergarten children. How many would be expected to be nearsighted? What is the standard deviation for the number of nearsighted children in such a group? You may assume that the children are independent of each other. The mean is? and the standard deviation is?
