If A is a 2x8 matrix and if B is mxn , figure out the value of m if BTAT is a 20x2 matrix.
An agricultural scientist tests six types of fertilizer, labeled A, B, C, D, E, and F, to determine whether any of them produces an increase in the yield of lima beans over that obtained with the current fertilizer. For fertilizer C, the increase in yield is statistically significant at the 0.05 level. For the other five, the increase is not statistically significant. The scientist concludes that the yield obtained with fertilizer C is greater than that of the current fertilizer. Explain why this conclusion is not justified.

- A psychologist would like to examine the effects of a new drug on the activity level of animals. Three samples of rats are selected with n = 5 in each sample. The rats in the first sample serve as a control and do not get any of the drug. The rats in the second group receive a small dose, and the rats in the third group each get a large dose of the drug. The psychologist records the activity level for each animal. The data from this experiment are presented below. no drug small dose large dose 2201O 22321 Complete the F-ratio table below.

Josh believes that even though Fluffy, a two-ply toilet paper costs more, it will last longer because it is more absorbent. To help substantiate his claim, Josh performed a study. He purchased a random sample of 18 rolls of Fluffy. For each roll, he determined how many squares are needed to completely absorb one-quarter cup of water. Here is a dotplot of the data. The mean of the sample is 24.444 squares with a standard deviation of 2.45 squares. Single-ply toilet paper requires 26 squares to absorb one-quarter cup of water. Josh would like to carry out a test to determine if there is convincing evidence that the mean number of squares of Fluffy that are needed to absorb one-quarter cup of water is fewer than 26 squares. What is the appropriate test statistic and P-value of this test?

- You are testing the effects of two different newspaper ads on retail sales. You run ad A for a week and record daily sales at a store in Pittsburgh. You then run ad B for a week and record daily sales at that same store. You find:Daily sales with ad A: 12800, 8800, 13100, 9900, 8100, 9700Daily sales with ad B: 10500, 8500, 12400, 12900, 10600, 10100The sample average for A is $10,400 and the sample average for B is $10,833. You want to know whether this $433 difference is due to random chance or due to better performance by ad B. Using a hypothesis test, look for evidence that the population mean sales under ad B exceed the population mean sales under ad A.Report the p-value.arrow_forwardThe accompanying data resulted from an experiment in which weld diameter x and shear strength y (in pounds) were determined for five different spot welds on steel.

Because 1 lb = 0.4536 kg, strength observations can be re-expressed in kilograms through multiplication by this conversion factor: new y = 0.4536(old y).
