The mathematics department at one university reports that the failure rate for College Alge is no more than 35% in any given semester. A group of students believes the rate is higher, and they decided to use a hypothesis test to see if they are correct. Based on the sample they obtain, they decided to reject the null hypothesis. If, in reality, the failure rate is 34%, did the students make an error? If so, what type?

Name Enrichment 1-7 A botanist is studying the development of a bamboo plant. She started keeping a log of its growth 25 weeks ago. Since then, the plant has grown an average of inch each week. Every 5 weeks, she trims 2, inches off the top of the bamboo plant. Its current height is 5 feet. 1. Write an equation to represent the plant's growth since the botanist started keeping her log. How much has the plant grown? 2. What is the change in the plant's height from being trimmed?

Coal is carried from a mine in West Virginia to a power plan in New York in hopper cars on a long train. Suppose the weight of the coal in one car was less than 74.5 tons. Would that fact make you suspect that the loader had slipped out adjustment? Suppose the weight of the coal cars selected at random had an average x bar of less than 74.5 tons. Would that fact make you suspect that the loader had slipped out of adjustment why?

Is the average time to complete an obstacle course longer when a patch is placed over the right eye than when a patch is placed over the left eye? Thirteen randomly selected volunteers first completed an obstacle course with a patch over one eye and then completed an equally difficult obstacle course with a patch over the other eye. The completion times are shown below. "Left" means the patch was placed over the left eye and "Right" means the patch was placed over the right eye. Time to Complete the Course Right 43 42 45 43 42 43|| 44 44 Left 42 42 47|| 41 42 43 46 || 44 Assume a Normal distribution.
