Using the data in Textbook Problem 8.8:
a. Plot the vertical effective consolidation stress versus void
ratio on both arithmetic and semi-log graphs. For the arithmetic
graph, constrain the vertical axes to 0.55 and 0.95; and the
horizontal to 0 to 1,500 kPa; for the semi-log graph, use the same
vertical axis constraints, but use 10 kPa and 10,000 kPa to ease
interpretation. Plot the data points only, and draw in a smooth
curve by hand. Plot each graph on...

To test the belief that sons are taller than their fathers, a
student randomly selects 13 fathers who have adult male children.
She records the height of both the father and son in inches and
obtains the following data. Are sons taller than their fathers?
Use the α=0.01 level of significance. Note: A normal probability
plot and boxplot of the data indicate that the differences are
approximately normally distributed with no outliers.
