Chapter 4, Problem 60CR
Although bats are not known for their eyesight, they are able to locate prey (mainly insects) by emitting high-pitched sounds and listening for echoes. A paper appearing in Animal Behaviour (“The Echolocation of Flying Insects by Bats” [1960]: 141–154) gave the following distances (in centimeters) at which a bat first detected a nearby insect:
- a. Calculate the sample
mean distance at which the bat first detects an insect. - b. Calculate the sample variance and standard deviation for this data set. Interpret these values.

- A baseball pitcher, concerned about losing speed from his fastball, undertook a new training regimen during the offseason. His team's pitching coach measured the speed of 20 random fastballs (in miles per hour) thrown by the pitcher during spring training, and compared it with a sample of 20 random fastballs thrown during the pitcher's last five starts in the previous season. The results are shown in the following table. Assume that the pitcher's fastball speeds had a standard deviation of 2.9 miles per hour both before and after the training regimen and that the speeds for both time periods are normally distributed. Let the pitcher's fastball speeds in the previous season be the first sample, and let the pitcher's fastball speeds in spring training be the second sample. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence that the pitcher is throwing fastballs at higher speeds?
