One operation of a mill is to cut pieces of steel into parts that will later be used as the frame for front seats in an automobile. The steel is cut with a diamond saw and requires the resulting parts to be
within 10.005 inch of the length specified by the automobile company. Data are collected from a sample of 50 steel parts and are shown in the following table. The measurement reported is the
difference in inches between the actual length of the steel part, as measured by a laser measurement device, and the specified length of the steel part. For example, the first value, -0.003,
represents a steel part that is 0.003 inch shorter than the specified length. Complete parts a through c

The "spring-like effect" in a golf club could be determined by measuring the coefficient of restitution (the ratio of the outbound velocity to the inbound velocity of a golf ball fired at the clubhead). Twelve randomly selected drivers produced by two clubmakers are tested and the coefficient of restitution measured. The data follow:
Club 1: 0.8406, 0.8104, 0.8234, 0.8198, 0.8235, 0.8562, 0.8123, 0.7976, 0.8184, 0.8265, 0.7773, 0.7871
Club 2: 0.8305, 0.7905, 0.8352, 0.8380, 0.8145, 0.8465, 0.8244, 0.8014, 0.8309, 0.8405, 0.8256, 0.8476
Test the hypothesis that both brands of ball have equal mean overall distance. Use α = 0.05 and assume equal variances.

- Weatherwise is a magazine published in association with the American Meteorological Society. In the January issue there is a rating system to classify Nor’easter storms that frequently hit New England states and can cause much damage near the ocean coasts. A severe storm has an average peak wave height of 16.4 feet for waves hitting the shore. Suppose that a Nor’easter is in progress at the severe storm class rating. Peak wave heights are usually measured from land (using binoculars) off fixed cement piers. Suppose that a sample of 36 peak waves showed an average wave height of 15.1 feet with a sample standard deviation of 3.2 feet. Using a level of significance of 1%, does this information indicate that the storm is retreating?
