The article "Withdrawal Strength of Threaded Nails" (D. Rammer, S. Winistorfer, and D.
Bender, Journal of Structural Engineering, 2001:442–449) describes an experiment
comparing the withdrawal strengths for several types of nails. The data presented in the
following table are consistent with means and standard deviations reported in the article for
three types of nails: annularly threaded, helically threaded, and smooth shank. All nails had
diameters within 0.1 mm of each other, and all were driven into the same type of lumber.

The yield of alfalfa from a random sample of six test plots is 1.4, 1.6, 0.9, 1.9, 2.2,and 1.2 tons per acre. Assume the data can be looked upon as a sample from anormal population. Test at the 0.05 level of significance whether this supports thecontention that the average yield for this kind of alfalfa is 1.5 tones per acre.
Blood cocaine concentration (mg/L) was determinedboth for a sample of individuals who had died fromcocaine-induced excited delirium (ED) and for a sampleof those who had died from a cocaine overdose withoutexcited delirium; survival time for people in bothgroups was at most 6 hours. The accompanying datawas read from a comparative boxplot in the article“Fatal Excited Delirium Following Cocaine Use” (J.of Forensic Sciences, 1997: 25–31).

- The manufacturer of a new eye cream claims that the cream reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles after just 1414 days of application. To test the claim, 1010 women are randomly selected to participate in a study. The number of fine lines and wrinkles that are visible around each participant’s eyes is recorded before and after the 1414 days of treatment. The following table displays the results. Test the claim at the 0.050.05 level of significance assuming that the population distribution of the paired differences is approximately normal.
