Did you know that it is possible to use the cricket as a thermometer? Crickets tend to chirp more frequently as temperatures increase. This phenomenon was studied in detail by George W. Pierce, a physics professor at Harvard. In the following data, x is a random variable representing chirps per second and y is a random variable representing temperature (°F). 21.0 15.1 19.0 17.6 17.5 15.5 14.7 17.1 y 87.8 71.4 94.1 84.7 81.4 75.2 69.7 82.0 15.4 16.2 15.0 17.2 16.0 17.0 14.4 69.4 83.3 79.6 82.6 80.6 83.5 76.3 Find x, and y.

- Nationally, about 11% of the total U.S. wheat crop is destroyed each year by hail.† An insurance company is studying wheat hail damage claims in a county in Colorado. A random sample of 16 claims in the county reported the percentage of their wheat lost to hail. 16 6 8 9 10 18 14 13 9 10 25 18 13 8 14 3 The sample mean is x = 12.1%. Let x be a random variable that represents the percentage of wheat crop in that county lost to hail. Assume that x has a normal distribution and σ = 5.0%. Do these data indicate that the percentage of wheat crop lost to hail in that county is different (either way) from the national mean of 11%? Use ? = 0.01. (a) What is the level of significance?
