Question
A personal computer manufacturer is interested in comparing assembly times for two keyboard assembly processes. Assembly times can vary considerably from worker to worker, and the company decides to eliminate this effect by selecting a random sample of 12 workers and timing each worker on each assembly process. Half of the workers are chosen at random to use Process 1 first, and the rest use Process 2 first. For each worker and each process, the assembly time (in minutes) is recorded, as shown in the table below.

- A state fisheries commission wants to estimate the number of bass caught in a given lake during a season in order to restock the lake with the appropriate number of young fish. The commission could get a fairly accurate assessment of the seasonal catch by extensive “netting sweeps" of the lake before and after a season, but this technique is much too expensive to be done routinely. Therefore, the commission samples a number of lakes and record the seasonal catch (thousands of bass per square mile of lake area) and size of lake (square miles).

The average number of individual personal profile views is known to be 230 views per day (excluding bands, artists, etc.). The researcher creates 36 fictitious profiles that contain roughly the same information but the picture (avatar) is an animated .gif of a smiling face (36 faces randomly selected from a compilation of faces judged to be of average attractiveness). The results showed that of the 36 profiles the average number of views was 250 with a standard deviation of 60. Test the hypothesis that the average number of views for a smiling face gif is significantly different than the usual number of personal profile views.arrow_forward

In fact, she believes that, on average, adults will have more than two additional nights of restful sleep in a four-week period after removing caffeine from their diets. She randomly selects 8 adults to help her test this theory. Each person is asked to consume two caffeinated beverages per day for 28 days, and then cut back to no caffeinated beverages for the following 28 days. During each period, the participants record the numbers of nights of restful sleep that they had. The following table gives the results of the study. Test Sarah's claim at the 0.05 level of significance assuming that the population distribution of the paired differences is approximately normal.

For her botany class project, Jennifer wonders if there is a connection between the average weight of watermelons a vine produces and the root depth of the vine. Jennifer suspects that vines with deeper roots have a better water supply and produce larger melons. From a large watermelon field, 10 vines are chosen at random. At the end of 8 weeks, the watermelons are removed from each vine and the average weight of the watermelons from each vine is determined. Each plant is carefully dug up and its root depth (or length) is measure. Let x represent the root depth (to the nearest inch) and y be the mean weight of the watermelons on the vine (in pounds).
