an agricultural researcher plants 25 plots with a new variety
of corn.The mean yield for these plots is 150 bushels per acre.
assume that the yield per acre for the new variety of corn follows
a normal distribution with standard deviation 10 bushels. use the
given information to test if the unknown population mean yield is
different than 153 bushels at a significance level 3%

An agricultural company wanted to know if a new insecticide
increases corn yields. Eight test plots showed an average increase
of 3.125 bushels per acre when the insecticide was used compared to
the previous year. The standard deviation of the increases was
2.911 bushels per acre. The company wants to use a paired t-test to
determine the mean increase in yield.

A new variety of pearl millet is expected to provide an
increased yield over the variety presently in use which is about 50
bushels per acre. The new variety of millet produced an average
yield of x = 56 bushels per acre with a standard deviation of s =
12.4 bushels based on 40 one-acre yields.
Find the value of the test statistic for testing the hypotheses
that the new variety will increase yield. (Round your answer to two

An agricultural field trial compares the yield of two varieties
of corn. The researchers divide in half each of 17 fields of land
in different locations and plant each corn variety in one half of
each plot. After harvest, the yields are compared in bushels per
acre at each location. The 17 differences (Variety A - Variety B)
give x¯=3.98 and s=3.64. Does this sample provide evidence that
Variety A had a higher yield than Variety B?

Problem: A company is claiming that their new product BrawndoTM
is “what the plants crave”. As the sole researcher left in the
country, you are skeptical and worried that BrawndoTM may have too
many electrolytes for plants and actually hurts crops. You test
whether BrawndoTM hurts crop yield. Since this is such an important
decision, you want to be conservative and use a significance test
of p=.01 before making any conclusions. You know that using the
traditional water method led...
