Q1
To study the effect of temperature on yield in a chemical process, five batches were produced at each
of three temperature levels. Use a .05 level of significance to test whether the temperature level has an
effect on the mean yield of the process. Only interpret the relevant tables. And give your conclusion.

Q2
As the price of oil rises, there is increased worldwide interest in alternate sources of energy. A
Financial Times/Harris Poll surveyed people in six countries to assess attitudes toward a variety of
alternate forms of energy (Harris Interactive website, February 27, 2008). The data in the following
table are a portion of the poll’s findings concerning whether people favor or oppose the building of
new nuclear power plants.
 a) Conduct a hypothesis test to determine whether people’s attitude toward building new nuclear
power plants is independent of country. What is your conclusion?
b) Using the percentage of respondents who “strongly favor” and “favor more than oppose,”
which country has the most favorable attitude toward building new nuclear power plants?
Which country has the least favorable attitude?
c) Also interpret the graph.

Q3.
A Little League baseball coach wants to know if his team is representative of other teams in scoring
runs. Nationally, the average number of runs scored by a Little League team in a game is 5.7. He
chooses twenty five games at random in which his team scored 5, 9, 4, 11, 9, 7, 5, 8, 10, 8, 7, 6, 9, 8,
5, 6, 5, 6, 5, 4, 4, 4, 5, 6 and 8 runs. Is it likely that his team's scores could have come from the
national distribution? Assume an alpha level of 0.01. Because the team's scoring rate could be either
higher than or lower than the national average, the problem calls for a two‐tailed test.
a. State the null and alternative hypotheses?
b. Interpret the descriptive statistics in the table below?
c. Using the output of one-sample which ever is appropriate in this situation describe your
findings regarding the hypothesis you have constructed?
d. Repeat your findings for alpha level 0.1.
