1. Can balloons hold more air or more water before bursting? A student purchased a large bag
of 12-inch balloons. He randomly selected 10 balloons from the bag and then randomly
assigned half of them to be filled with air until bursting and the other half to be filled with water
until bursting. He used devices to measure the amount of air and water was dispensed until the
balloons burst.
Here's the data:
Air (ft')
Water (ft)
0.52
0.44
0.58
0.41
0.50
0.55
0.46
0.61
0.38
0.45
Does the data give convincing evidence air filled balloons can attain a greater volume than
water filled balloons?

- cientists studied the chemical makeup of buried tills (glacial drifts) in order to estimate the age of the glacial drifts. The ratio of the elements aluminum (Al) and ryllium (Be) in sediment is related to the duration of burial. The till specimens were obtained from five different boreholes (labeled UMRB-1, UMRB-2, UMRB-3, SWRA nd SD). The Al/Be ratios for a sample of 26 buried till specimens were determined and are shown in the accompanying table. Conduct an analysis of variance of the ata. Is there sufficient evidence to indicate differences among the mean Al/Be ratios for the five boreholes? Test, using α = 0.10.
