You want to study an agricultural treatment to remove a pest on citrus plants. Suppose you have a citrus farm. The presence of the pest is measured by the productivity of the plant. Suppose that before and after applying the treatment the productivity of 9 plants was measured. Measurements are in numbers of bags and are in the following table:

Find the confidence interval to see if there is an improvement in productivity with the treatment of the pest. Determine with 95% confidence the interval for the average difference in citrus productivity.

Before	35	28	33	42	38	43	36	26	35
After	38	33	37	41	40	44	39	28	39

Suppose an agricultural scientist plants two different types of corn seed to test the claim that they produce the same average yield. The seeds are planted on eight randomly selected plots of land, each of which has one half of the plot planted with Type 1 seed and the other half planted with Type 2 seed. Calculate a 95% confidence interval estimate for the mean difference between the yield for Type 1 seed (Population 1) and Type 2 seed (Population...

You want to purchase agricultural land and enrolling the land in a conservation program offered by your state water and soil resources board. This program pays landowners not to farm the land for a specified period of time. A requirement of the program is that you establish vegetation on the land that would benefit wildlife. The program provides cost-share funding to help landowners establish wildlife habitat. Your estimate that the costs and returns associated with purchasing the land, enrolling it...

A. Suppose you want to study the number of hours of sleep full-time undergraduate students at Belmont get each evening. To do so, you obtain a list of full-time undergraduate students at Belmont, obtain a simple random sample of ten students, and ask each of them to disclose how many hours of sleep they obtained the most recent Monday. What is the population of interest in this study? What is the sample? Explain why number of hours of sleep in...

In a study on the role of music and the growth of tomato plants, you planted 32 tomato plants. Half of the plants grew up without music, while the other half grew up with music. When the plants reached their full maturity you measured them and you obtained as an average 19.54 cm and 23.39 cm for the group without music and the group with music respectively. In addition, you have calculated the standard deviations of the two groups which...

Suppose that you start with a normal deck of 52 cards and remove everything except the twos, threes, and fours. So you now have a deck of twelve cards consisting of four twos, four threes, and four fours. A card is drawn at random and replaced then another card is drawn at random and replaced. Make a probability distribution for the sum of the two numbers that are drawn. Hint: List all the possible sums of two cards given 4...
