Chapter 13.3, Problem 8E
Winning Baseball Games For the years 1970–1993 the National League (NL) and the American League (AL) (major league baseball) were each divided into two divisions: East and West. Below are random samples of the number of games won by each league’s Eastern Division. At α = 0.05, is there sufficient evidence to conclude a difference in the number of wins?

A child psychologist believe that controlled physical outbursts of anger (like punching
a pillow) may improve the mood of young boys with emotional impairment. He
believes that the proportion of boys who benefit from the treatment is greater than
the proportion of girls. A random sample from each population receives counseling
in the treatment and is asked about their mood after an episode (x is the number of
test subjects that reported an improvement in mood). The results of the study are
summarized in the table below.

Blank #1: Find the two sample proportions, reporting each as a decimal, rounded to
two decimal places. Do the initial (untested) findings show what the researcher
expected? Enter your answer as a list of 3 items: P1, P2, yes or no. Do not
add any extra spaces and pay attention to rounding. For example, a valid answer
may look like .52,.14,yes or .25,.50,no.

Two major automobile manufacturers have produced compact cars with engines of the same size. We are interested in determining whether or not there is a significant difference in the mean MPG (miles per gallon) when testing for the fuel efficiency of these two brands of automobiles. A random sample of eight cars from each manufacturer is selected, and eight drivers are selected to drive each automobile for a specified distance. The following data (in miles per gallon) show the results of the test. Assume the population of differences is normally distributed.
