Solar energy generation along highways. The potential of using solar panels constructed above national highways to generate energy was explored in the International Journal of Energy and Environmental Engineering (December 2013). Two-layer solar panels (with 1 meter separating the panels) were constructed above sections of both east-west and north-south highways in India. The amount of energy (kilowatt-hours) supplied to the country’s grid by the solar panels above the two types of highways was determined each month. The data for several randomly selected months are provided in the table. The researchers concluded that the “two-layer solar panel energy generation is more viable for the north-south oriented highways as compared to east-west oriented roadways.” Compare the
Month | East-West | North-South |
February | 8658 | 8921 |
April | 7930 | 8317 |
July | 5120 | 5274 |
September | 6862 | 7148 |
October | 8608 | 8936 |

- Q2) Researchers at a paint manufacturer are trying to develop a new type of gloss paint with a shorter drying time than the current product. In order to test whether the drying time has been reduced, the researchers paint a square metre of each of the new and old paints on each of 10 different surfaces. The time, in hours, that each square metre takes to dry is recorded in the table below: Surface 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Old paint 17.1 17.3 16.9 17.4 17.5 17.3 16.6 17.5 18.0 17.6 New paint 16.6 17.2 17.0 17.1 17.6 16.5 16.9 17.3 17.3 16.9 (a) Test, at the 0.05 level of significance, whether there is any reduction in the mean drying time.
