To test the effect of a fertilizer on rice production, 24 equal plots of a certain land are selected. Half of them were treated with fertilizer leaving the rest untreated. Other condition were the same. The mean production of rice on untreated plots was 4.8 quintals with standard deviation of 0.4 quintal. While, the mean yield on the treated plots was 5.1 quital with a standard deviation of 0.36 quintal. Can we say that there is significant improvement in the production rice due to use of fertilizer at 0.05 level of significance? Assume that the variance of population are unknown but not equal.

An interested citizen wanted to know if Democratic U. S. senators are older than Republican U.S. senators, on average. On May 26 2013, the mean age of 30 randomly selected Republican Senators was 61 years 247 days old (61.675 years) with a standard deviation of 10.17 years. The mean age of 30 randomly selected Democratic senators was 61 years 257 days old (61.704 years) with a standard deviation of 9.55 years. Do the data indicate that Democratic senators are older than Republican senators, on average? Test at a 5% level of significance. a. At the 5% level of significance, from the sample data, there is NOT sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean age of Democratic senators is greater than the mean age of the Republican senators. b. At the 5% level of significance, from the sample data, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean age of Democratic senators is greater than the mean age of the Republican senators.

According to a report published by the USDA 3 years ago, a typical American consumes an average of 26 pounds of ice cream per year. A researcher at the USDA would like to determine if the average amount of ice cream consumed each year by a typical American has changed since the original report was published. The researcher collected data from a random sample of 65 Americans and found that the mean amount of ice cream consumed each year by the sample was 25.54 pounds with a standard deviation of 1.64 pounds. Using α=0.02, test the hypothesis that the mean amount of ice cream consumed each year by a typical American is different than 26 pounds. Use the p-value method. State the null and alternative hypothesis for this test. H0= H1= Determine the test statistic for the hypothesis test. Round the solution to four decimal places. =
