The driveline is covered by a shield in new tractors, but for a variety of reasons, the shield is often missing on older tractors. Two type of shields are the bolt-on and the flip- up. It was believed that the bolt-on shield was perceived as a nuisance by the operators and deliberately removed, but the flip-up shield is easily lifted for inspection and maintenance and may be left in place. In a study initiated by the National Safety Council of the U.S., a sample of older tractors with both types of shields was taken to see what proportion were removed. Of 183 tractors designed to have bolt-on shields, 35 had been removed. Of the 136 tractors with flip-up shields, 15 were removed. We wish to test the hypothesis H: Pb= PJ vs A: Pb ≠ f.

- A new elementary algebra software is being integrated in the teaching of a developmental algebra course with the hope that it will help to improve the overall average score for the course. The historical average score for this course is 72. If a statistical test is to be done to determine the effect of this software on the average score, the alternative hypothesis will be: a) ?":? ≠ 72 b) ?":? < 72 c) ?":? ≥ 72 d) ?":? > 72arrow_forwardIn the Aloha state, you are very unlikely to be murdered! However, it is considerably more likely that your house might be burgled, your car might be stolen, or you might be punched in the nose.
