Each year many small plots of equal size but different soil/fertilizer conditions are planted with wheat. At the end of the growing season, the yield (in pounds) of the wheat on the plot is measured. Suppose for a random sample of years, one plot gave the following annual wheat production (in pounds): 4.46 4.21 4.40 4.81 2.81 2.90 4.93 3.54 4.16 4.48 3.26 4.74 4.97 4.02 4.91 2.59 Use a calculator to verify that the sample variance for this plot is .

It is hypothesized that archaeological sites tend to lose their cultural identity and specific cultural affiliation as the elevation of the site increases. Let x be the elevation (in thousands of feet) for an archaeological site in the southwestern United States. Let y be the percentage of unidentified artifacts (no specific cultural affiliation) at a given elevation.

A random sample of n = 6 professional basketball players gave the following information. x 82 69 73 84 74 64 y 42 48 46 46 46 42 Verify that ∑x =446, ∑y =270, ∑x2 =33,442, ∑y2 =12,180, ∑xy =20,070, and r = 0, and find the critical value for a test using a 5% level of significance claiming that ρis not equal than zero. Round your answer to three decimal places.arrow_forwardLet x be a random variable that represents the percentage of successful free throws a professional basketball player makes in a season.

Random samples of book ratings were collected for four different genres. The editor recorded ratings in a 0 to 10 scale in the following table. Fiction Novel Biography Science&Technology 8.5 8.4 6.2 9.1 5.3 5.3 5.5 4.3 7.7 4.2 7.0 9.7 5.1 9.8 9.3 5.2 6.9 8.6 6.7 7.9 4.8 7.1 6.9 8.4 Shall we reject or not reject the claim that there are no differences among the population means of book ratings for the different genres?

- Peggy conducted a study to identify the randomness of rainy days in fall. For 15 days, she recorded whether it rained that day or not. They denoted a rainy day with the letter R, a day without rain with the letter N. R N N R R N N R R N N R R R R Test the sequence for randomness.

In each case, one child was selected at random and sent to school A, and his or her twin was sent to school B. Near the end of fifth grade, an achievement test was given to each child. The results follow: Twin Pair 1 2 3 4 5 6 School A 169 157 115 99 119 113 School B 123 157 112 99 121 122 Twin Pair 7 8 9 10 11 12 School A 120 121 124 145 138 117 School B 153 90 124 140 142 102 Suppose a sign test for matched pairs with a 1% level of significance is used to test the hypothesis that the schools have the same effectiveness in teaching reading skills against the alternate hypothesis that the schools have different levels of effectiveness in teaching reading skills. Let p denote portion of positive signs when the scores of school B are subtracted from the corresponding scores of school…arrow_forward
