Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 20SE
Targets: Bias or Lack of Precision, Again
a. If a rifleman’s gunsight is adjusted correctly, but he has shaky arms, the bullets might be scattered widely around the bull’s-eye target. Draw a sketch of the target with the bullet holes. Does this show variation (lack of precision) or bias?
b. Draw a second sketch of the target if the shots are unbiased and have precision (little variation).
The rifleman’s aim is not perfect, so your sketches should show more than one bullet hole.

- A dowsing rod is a "Y" or "L" shaped instrument that some believe can find ground water. Many dowsers today use a pair of simple L-shaped metal rods. One rod is held in each hand, with the short arm of the L held upright, and the long arm pointing forward. When something is found, the rods cross over one another making an "X" over the found object. Skeptics of dowsing conducted an experiment to see if dowsing rods could find ground water. Five identical 3 foot by 3 foot plots of land were sectioned off and a container of water was buried in one of the plots. A summary of the experiment results and the output for the goodness-of-fit test follow. Choose the correct null and alternative hypothesis. 1 Click the icon to view the summary and output. O A.
