Chapter 10.1, Problem 2E
Suppose that the compression-strength observations on the fourth type of box in Example 10.1 had been 655.1, 748.7, 662.4, 679.0, 706.9, and 640.0 (obtained by adding 120 to each previous x4j). Assuming nos change in the remaining observations, carry out an α test with a 5 .05.

in experiment on pea-breading, mendel got following frequencies of seeds: 315 round and yellow, 101wrinkled and yellow, 108 round and green: total 556. Theory predicts that the frequencies should be in the frequencies should be in the proporation 9:3:3:1 . Examine the correspondence between theory and experiment. (chi- square at 3 degrees of freedom at 5% level of signifiance is 7.812)
From a test cross you get 152 green, hairless; 23 green, hairy; 148 white, hairy, and 27 white, hairless. Calculate the chi squared to test the independent assortment hypothesis and determine if these genes assort independently.
7.25 Colored string preferred by chickens. Animal behavi-
orists have discovered that the more domestic chickens
peck at objects placed in their environment, the healthier
the chickens seem to be. White string has been found to
be a particularly attractive pecking stimulus. In one ex-
periment, 72 chickens were exposed to a string stimulus.
Instead of white string, blue string was used. The number
of pecks each chicken took at the blue string over a speci-
fied interval of time was recorded. Summary statistics for
the 72 chickens were x = 1.13 pecks and s = 2.21 pecks
(Applied Animal Behaviour Science, Oct. 2000).
a. Use a 99% confidence interval to estimate the popula-
tion mean number of pecks made by chickens pecking
at blue string. Interpret the result.
b. Previous research has shown that μ = 7.5 pecks if chick-
ens are exposed to white string. Based on the results you
found in part a, is there evidence that chickens are more
apt to peck at white string than blue string? Explain.

The bolts will be used in an application that requires a torque of 100 J. Before the shipment is accepted, a quality engineer will sample 12 bolts and measure the torque needed to break each of them. The shipment will be accepted if the engineer concludes that fewer than 1% of the bolts in the shipment have a breaking torque of less than 100 J. Assume the 12 values(107, 109, 111, 113, 113, 114, 114, 115, 117, 119, 122, 124) are sampled from a normal population, and assume the sample mean and standard deviation calculated in the previous question (mean: 114, standard deviation: 5) are actually the population mean and standard deviation. Compute the proportion of bolts whose breaking torque is less than 100 J. Will the shipment be accepted?

Sutton [1945] collected the time of birth at the King George V Memorial Hospital, Sydney, for 2654 consecutive births. (Note: The total number of observations listed is 2650, not 2654 as stated by Sutton.) The frequency of births by hour in a 24-hour day is listed in Table 3.16. (a) Sutton states that the data "confirmed the belief ... that more births occur in the small hours of the morning than at any other time in the 24 hours." Develop a graphical display that illustrates this point. (b) Is there evidence of Sutton's statement: "An interesting point emerging was the relatively small number of births during the meal hours of the staff; this sug- gested either hastening or holding back of the second stage during meal hours"?
