**Title: Pulling Wood Apart: Analyzing the Strength of Douglas Fir Wood Pieces****Introduction:**In a laboratory exercise, students gathered data to determine how heavy a load (in pounds) is required to pull apart pieces of Douglas fir wood that are 4 inches long and 1.5 inches square. The data collected are as follows:**Data (Load in Pounds):**- 33,190- 31,860- 32,590- 26,520- 33,280- 32,320- 33,020- 32,030- 30,460- 32,700- 23,040- 30,930- 32,720- 33,650- 32,340- 24,050- 30,170- 31,300- 28,730- 31,920**Assumptions:**- The wood pieces prepared for the lab session are regarded as a Simple Random Sample (SRS) of all similar pieces of Douglas fir.- Engineers often assume that material characteristics vary normally.- The strength of wood pieces like these follows a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 3000 pounds.**Research Questions:**(a) Is there statistically significant evidence at the \(\alpha = 0.10\) level against the hypothesis that the mean is 32,500 pounds for a two-sided alternative?(b) Is there statistically significant evidence at the \(\alpha = 0.10\) level against the hypothesis that the mean is 31,500 pounds for a two-sided alternative?**Conclusion:**This analysis helps in understanding the variability and average strength needed to pull apart Douglas fir wood pieces, utilizing statistical evidence to evaluate hypotheses about the mean load required.

1. In many animal species the males and females differ slightly in structure, coloring, and/orsize. The hominidspecies Australopithecus is thought to have lived about 3.2 million years ago. (“Lucy,” the famous nearcompleteskeleton discovered in 1974, is an Australopithecus .) Forensic anthropologists use partial skeletalremains to estimate the mass of an individual. The data below are estimates of masses from partial skeletalremains of this species found in sub-Saharan Africa. Appropriate graphical displays of the data indicate thatit is reasonable to assume that the population distributions of mass are approximately normal for bothmales and females. You may also assume that these samples are representative of the respectivepopulations.Estimates of mass (kg)Males 51.0, 45.4, 45.6, 50.1, 41.3, 42.6, 40.2, 48.2, 38.4, 45.4, 40.7, 37.9, 41.3, 31.5Females 27.1, 33.5, 28.0, 30.3, 32.7, 32.5, 34.2, 30.5, 27.5, 23.3,35.7Do these data provide convincing evidence that the mean estimated masses…
CCSS CCSS SMP4, 5.G.2, 8.SP.1, 8.SP.2 A fifth-grader's science fair project investigated the relationship between the length of a pendulum and the time it takes the pendulum to swing back and forth. The student made a pendulum by tying a heavy washer to a string and attaching the string to the top of a triangular frame, as shown in the diagram below. The length of the string could be varied. The table and scatterplot below show how long it took the pendulum to swing back and forth 10 times for various lengths of the string. (Several measurements were taken and averaged.)
