Cheek teeth of extinct primates. The characteristics of cheek teeth (e.g., molars) can provide anthropologists with information on the dietary habits of extinct mammals. The cheek teeth of an extinct primate species were the subject of research reported in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology (Vol. 142, 2010). A total of 18 cheek teeth extracted from skulls discovered in western Wyoming were analyzed. Researchers recorded the dentary depth of molars (in millimeters) for a sample of 18 cheek teeth extracted from skulls. These depth measurements are listed in the accompanying table. Anthropologists know that the mean dentary depth of molars in an extinct primate species— called Species A—is 15 millimeters. Is there evidence to indicate that the sample of 18 cheek teeth come from some other extinct primate species (i.e., some species other than Species A)? The data are given below (you will need to put it into a single column). You will need to calculate the sample…

Each of three operators made two weighings of several silicon wafers. Results are presented in the following table for three of the wafers. All the wafers had weights very close to 54 g. so the weights are reported in units of ug above 54 g. (Based on the article "Revelation of a Microbalance Warmup Effect," J. Buckner, B. Chin, et al., Statistical Case Studies for Industrial Process Improvement, SIAM-ASA, 1997:39 45.)

Can it be determined from the ANOVA table whether there is a difference in the measured weights among the operators? If so, provide the value of the test statistic and the P-value. If not, explain why not. 3.

The authors of the paper "Statistical Methods for Assessing Agreement Between Two Methods of Clinical Measurement"† compared two different instruments for measuring a person's ability to breathe out air. (This measurement is helpful in diagnosing various lung disorders.) The two instruments considered were a Wright peak flow meter and a mini-Wright peak flow meter. Seventeen people participated in the study, and for each person air flow was measured once using the Wright meter and once using the mini-Wright meter.
