coefficient is found to be 0.63. Obain Z for significance of sample correlation coefficient from
population correlation coefficient of 0.55?
11. Following data relates to the yield rate of 5 different types of plot in which 3 different
types fertilizer was used. Test at 5% level of significance whether the difference in the
yield is insignificant due to fertilizer or due to the type of land.

different in their mean speeds.
1. An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of five different varieties of
cowpeas and three different spacing the to see whether varieties behave differently at
different spacing. The data below give the yield of each of 4 plots taken for each variety
spacing combination. (10)
