According to the U.S. National Weather Service, at any given
moment of any day, approximately 2000 thunderstorms are occurring
worldwide. Many of these storms include lightning strikes.
Sensitive electronic equipment is used to record the number of
lightning strikes worldwide every day. Eleven days were selected at
random, and the number of lightning strikes on each day was
recorded. The sample mean was x̄ = 8.3 million. Assume the
distribution of the number of lightning strikes per day is normal...

A number of minor automobile accidents occur at various
high-risk intersections despite traffic lights. The traffic
department claims that a modification in the type of light will
reduce these accidents. The traffic commissioners have agreed to a
proposed experiment. Eight intersections were chosen at random, and
the lights at those intersections were modified. The numbers of
minor accidents during a six-month period before and after the
modifications were as follows:

Researchers claim that women speak significantly more words per
day than men. One estimate is that a woman uses about 20,000 words
per day while a man uses about 7,000 . To investigate such claims,
one study used a special device to record the conversations of male
and female university students over a four‑day period. From these
recordings, the daily word count of the 20 men in the study was
determined. The table contains their daily word counts. 28,408
