Transcribed Image Text:1. A report in LTO stated that the average age of taxis in the Philippines is 9 years. An
operation manager of a large taxi company selects a sample of 40 taxis and finds the
average age of the taxis is 8.2 years. The o of the population is 2.3 years. At a = 0.05,
can it be concluded that the average age of the taxis in his company is less than the
national average?

A dog groomer is often asked if small dogs bark more than larger dogs. To test this, he logs the number of separate barking episodes per day for three size dogs: small, medium, and large. In a separate file you will find the number of barking episodes for 12 dogs. On average, small dogs barked the most Mean: 7.25 On average, medium sized dogs barked the least Mean: 2.75 A. Do the different size dogs bark a significantly different number of times? Test with an α = 0.05. B. If appropriate, use Tukey’s HSD post hoc test and report where the differences are.
