t-TEST FOR INDEPENDENT SAMPLES
1. Do left-handed persons type siower than
right-handed persons? The mean time to type
an article for a random sampie or 8 ert-handed
persons is 133.8 min with standard
deviation of 14.7 min. while ror a random
sample of 11 right-handed persons, the mean
time is 136.2 min with standard deviation equal
to 15.0 min. Test the hypothesis at 5%
level of significance
2. To find out whether a new serum WIll arrest
leukemia, 9 mice which have all reached an
advanced

3. In a study designed to monitor the
movement of ammonia ions in the sol,
radioactive nitrogen
SNH4) was introduced into sol cores. Uptake of
("NH ) into microbial biomass in the soil was
recorded at the end of 7 days. The sol examined
were either bare or planted to onions. The

5. In a packing plant, a machine packs cartons
with jars. It is supposed that a new
machine will pack faster on the average than
the machine currently used. To test that
hypothesis, the times it takes each machine to
pack ten cartons are recorded. The
resulis, in seconds, are shown in the following
table.

packaging, a processor of a breakfast food puts
each kind into 5 different supermarkets.. Use
the following data representing the number of
sales of the breakfast food between 9:00 AM
